The answer is 1.33333333
Rounded off to 1.34
It would be zero because you can’t raise 0 to any positive power.
So let’s say the equation is x^2 (x squared) -4x + 8 = 0. So you have to eventually graph a palabara. So to get the vertex, you have to find the line of symmetry (this plays a big part). So the formula for the line of symmetry is x= -b/2a. So A is this equation is 1. B is -4. C is 8. So you would plug these numbers in and you get 2. So (2,0) is your like of symmetry. Now you have to plug 2 back in for x. So when you do that you get 4 so the vertex is (2,4). So the vertex is (2, 4) and basically what the vertex is is it is the highest or lowest point of a palabara. So you can tel if it opens up or down by looking is A is negative or positive. If A is negative the it opens down. If it is positive then it opens up. So now you just put points in. Create a t chart. Like x/y. So when X is 1 for example, y is 5. So you graph (1, 5) and you graph the point that is the same distance from the line of symmetry. You do this until you have 5 points. I hope this helps. It’s hard to teach this over text.

3^2 + ---------- * (8). This evaluates to 9 + 4 * 8 ), or 9+32, or 41.

Note the importance of applying Order of Operations rules correctly here.
We use the FOIL method here. First, Outer, Inner, and Last.
(5x)(x) = 5x^2
(5x)(-7) = -35x
(2)(x) = 2x
(2)(-7) = -14
5x^2 - 35x + 2x - 14
Now combine like terms.
5x^2 - 33x - 14.
This is the right answer because it is now in the form of ax^2 + bx + c
