Answer:
1a: f(-2) means substituting -2 for x
1b: 65
I don't know the second one
Part A: x = -5/4, 3 || (-5/4, 0) (3, 0)
To find the x-intercepts, we need to know where y is equal to 0. So, we will set the function equal to 0 and solve for x.
4x^2 - 7x - 15 = 0
4 x 15 = 60 || -12 x 5 = 60 || -12 + 5 = -7
4x^2 - 12x + 5x - 15 = 0
4x(x - 3) + 5(x - 3) = 0
(4x + 5)(x - 3) = 0
4x + 5 = 0
x = -5/4
x - 3 = 0
x = 3
Part B: minimum, (7/8, -289/16)
The vertex of the graph will be a minimum. This is because the parabola is positive, meaning that it opens to the top.
To find the coordinates of the parabola, we start with the x-coordinate. The x-coordinate can be found using the equation -b/2a.
b = -7
a = 4
x = -(-7) / 2(4) = 7/8
Now that we know the x-value, we can plug it into the function and solve for the y-value.
y = 4(7/8)^2 - 7(7/8) - 15
y = 4(49/64) - 49/8 - 15
y = 196/64 - 392/64 - 960/64
y = -1156/64 = -289/16 = -18 1/16
Part C:
First, start by graphing the vertex. Then, use the x-intercepts and graph those. At this point we should have three points in a sort of triangle shape. If we did it right, each of the x-values will be an equal distance from the vertex. After we have those points graphed, it is time to draw in the parabola. Knowing that the parabola is positive, we draw in a U shape that passes through each of the three points and opens toward the top of the coordinate grid.
Hope this helps!
Assume L=1.5W, where W=width, L= Length of the triangle.
Therefore,
Perimeter (P) = 2(W+L) = 2(W+1.5W) = 2(2.5W) = 5W=20 => W=20/5 = 4 in
Then, L=1.5W = 1.5*4 = 6 in
Area, A= L*W = 6*4 = 24 in^2
For some number to be divisible by 12 it has to be divisible by 6 and by 2.
we can write number n as:
n = 6 + 12*k where k is positive integer.
If we divide n by 12 we will get remainder 6 because 12*k part is divisible by 12.
The part 12*k is as said divisible by 12 which means it is divisible by 6 (as first stated) and it has remainder 0. That leaves us with 6/6 which again has 0 as remainder. That means that number n is divisible by 6
The answer is 0
