Answer:
To get the x-intercept we need the equation of the parabola;
the vertex form of the equation is given by:
y=a(x-h)^2+k
where:
(2,13) is the vertex:
Therefore;
y=a(x-2)^2+13
when x=0, y=5
Therefore the value of a will be:
5=a(0-2)^2+13
5-13=4a
4a=-8
a=-2
therefore the equation of the parabola will be:
y=-2(x-2)^2+13
y=-2x^2+8x+5
the x-intercept will be:
x=2-sqrt(7.5)
or
x=2+sqrt(7.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(0,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
2:4 means one part is 2/(2+4)=1/3 of AB and the other part is 2/3 of AB
Add 1/3 of the distance from -2 to 4. (1/3)(4+2)=2. -2+2=0 The x coordinate is 0
Subtract 1/3 of the distance from 6 to -6, (1/3)6+6)=4 6-4=2 The y coordinate is 2
The point is (0,2)
For me cross multiplying works really well.
Suppose the number is x, its reciprocal is 1/x
x+1/x=13/6
(x^2+1)/x=13/6
6(x^2+1)=13x
6x^2-13x+6=0
(3x-2)(2x-3)=0
x=2/3 or x=3/2
