Answer:

A. The vertex is at (-0.5, -0.5) and the axis of symmetry is x = -0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

–2x2 –2x–1

Convert to vertex form:

= -2(x^2 + x) - 1

= -2 [ (x + 0.5x)^2- 0.25] - 1

= -2(x + 0.5)^2 + 0.5 - 1

= -2(x + 0.5)^2 - 0.5.

Compare this with the general vertex form:

a(x - b)^2 + c  where the vertex is at (b, c) and the axis of symmetry is

x = b

we see that b = -0.5 and c = -0.5 therefore

the vertex is at (-0.5, -0.5) and the axis of symmetry is x = -0.5.

Answer:

The first option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a quadratic function in standard form : ax² + bx + c : a ≠ 0, then

The equation of the axis of symmetry which is also the x- coordinate of the vertex is found using

x = - \frac{b}{2a}

f(x) = - 2x² - 2x - 1 ← is in standard form

with a = - 2, b = - 2, so

x = - \frac{-2}{-4} = - 0.5

Equation of axis of symmetry is x = - 0.5

Substitute x = - 0.5 into f(x)

f(- 0.5) = - 2(- 0.5)² - 2(- 0.5) - 1 = - 0.5 + 1 - 1 = - 0.5

Vertex = (- 0.5, - 0.5 )

The length of a rectangle is 6 inches more than its width. Its area is 91 square inches. The length is .
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

13 in

Step-by-step explanation:

let w be width then length is w + 6

the area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as

A = length × width , then

A = w(w + 6) = 91 , that is

w² + 6w = 91 ( subtract 91 from both sides )

w² + 6w - 91 = 0 ← in standard quadratic form

(w + 13)(w - 7) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for w

w + 13 = 0 ⇒ w = - 13

w - 7 = 0 ⇒ w = 7

however, w > 0 then w = 7

and length = w + 6 = 7 + 6 = 13 in

If Tammy takes out a discounted loan for $850 at a simple interest rate of 12%, but only receives $800 into her bank account, wh
Vikki [24]

Answer : The duration of the loan is, 6 months

Step-by-step explanation :

First we have to determine the discounted money.

Discounted money = $850 - $800 = $50

Thus, interest = $50

Now we have to determine the time of loan.

Formula used :

S.I=\frac{PRT}{100}

where,

P = principle

R = interest rate

T = time

S.I = simple interest

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

For 1 year : \$50=\frac{(\$850)\times (12)\times T}{100}

For 12 months : \$50\times 12=\frac{(\$850)\times (12)\times T}{100}

T=5.88month\approx 6month

Thus, the duration of the loan is, 6 months
