PLEASE HELP, BEEN STUCK FOR AN HOUR

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To sketch a quadratic function we need two things:

1)  Nature of the curve

2) Vertex

3) y-intercept

The completing square form of the quadratic equation is:

y=a(x-h)^2+k

where,

a represents the nature of the graph it can be maximum or minimum , meaning, if a > 0 then minimum(u shaped curve/happy face) and if a < 0 then maximum(n shaped curve/sad face).

h represents the x-coordinate of the vertex.

k represents the y-coordinate of the vertex.

Now if we compare g(x) with our completing square form we get the following:

g(x)=(x-4)^2+12\\y=a(x-h)^2+k\\

When we simply compare the following we get ,

a = 1 , which means a > 0 since 1 is greater than 0 the nature of the curve will be minimum(happy face/u shaped)

h = 4, which means the x-coordinate of the vertex is 4

k = 12, which means the y-coordinate of the vertex is 12

Now we have the nature of the curve, we have the vertex now all we need is the y-intercept.

For y-intercept:

For y-intercept meaning at which point will the graph cross the y-axis(0 , y)

For that we expand the formula and turn it into the standard quadratic equation form by using the formula (a - b)^2

y=(x-4)^2+12\\y=((x)^2-2(x)(4)+(4)^2)+12\\y=x^2-8x+16+12\\y=x^2-8x+28\\

now we compare with the standard quadratic form:

y=ax^2+bx+c

here c is the y-intercept and while comparing we can see that c = 28 ,

so the curve cuts the y-axis at (0 , 28)

So we have all the three things that we need to graph our function.

So we just plot the y-intercept , the vertex , and join the dots. Just a tip draw a dotted line on the x-coordinate of the vertex because the vertex point is also called as a turning point where the graph goes in the opposite direction just like a mirror reflection. I attached 2 images you can check them out. One is handmade(i know i suck at drawing but still xD) , one is sketched by online graphing calculator.

How do I find miles per hour from 2 fractions? For Example: If I ran for 1/2 miles when It lasted 1/3 of an hour. Would It be 1/
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

3/2 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

How do I find miles per hour from 2 fractions? For Example: If I ran for 1/2 miles when It lasted 1/3 of an hour. Would It be 1/6?

Given data

distance= 1/2 miles

time= 1/3 hour

Speed= distance/time

Substitute

Speed= 1/2/1/3

Speed= 1/2*3/1

Speed= 3/2 miles per hour

What is 4x+5 less than or equallys too 13 equals
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
If you are trying to solve for x, then 
4x+5<=13
 subtract both sides by 5

4x<=8
then divide both sides by 4 
x<=2

What is the solution to this equation?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we want to isolate variable x on the left side of the equation. We can do this by adding 13 to both sides.

x - 13 + 13 = - 4 + 13

x = 9
