so, this is a quadratic equation, meaning two solutions, and we have a factored form of it, meaning you can get the solutions by simply zeroing out the f(x).
so the zeros/solutions are at x = 3 and x = -11, now, bearing in mind the vertex will be half-way between those two, checking the number line, that midpoint will be at x = -4, so the vertex is right there, well, what's f(x) when x = -4?
Answer:
Therefore values of a and b are
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite in the form
where a and b are integers,
To Find:
a = ?
b = ?
Solution:
..............Given
Which can be written as
Adding half coefficient of X square on both the side we get
...................( 1 )
By identity we have (A - B)² =A² - 2AB + B²
Therefore,
Substituting in equation 1 we get
Which is in the form of
On comparing we get
a = 3 and b = 2
Therefore values of a and b are
