Answer:

Option D doesn't make any sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

D) 7 hours of sleep correspond to an age of 19 years.

That is wrong.

If we use the expression provided

hours = 8 + 0.5*(18 -age)

hours = 8 + 0.5*(18 -19)

hours = 8 + 0.5*(-1)

hours = 7.5

What are the coordinates of the vertex for the function shown below ?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can answer this in two ways:  Differentiation and Graphing.

<u>Differentitate:</u>

The first derivative of a function yields a function that provides the slope for any point on the line of the original function.  The slope of a vertex is zero, so we can set the first derivative to 0 and solve for x.

f(x) = 3(x-1)^2 + 4

f(x) = 3(x-1)(x-1) + 4

f(x) = 3(x^2 - 2x + 1) + 4

f(x) = 3x^2 - 6x + 7

f'(x) = 6x -6

Set this = 0 and find x:

0 = 6x -6

x = 1

The value of y when x=1 in the original equation is:

f(1) = 3(1-1)^2 + 4

y = 4

The vertex is (1,4)

<u>Graph:</u>

You can use DESMOS to plot the function.  The result is attached.  Look for the vertex and read the coordinates.  (1,4) seems to work.

Find the y intercepts of 3x^2+24x-51. quadratic formula
julia-pushkina [17]
  • Quadratic Formula: x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} , with a = x^2 coefficient, b = x coefficient, and c = constant.

Firstly, starting with the y-intercept. To find the y-intercept, set the x variable to zero and solve as such:

y=3*0^2+24*0-51\\y=0+0-51\\y=-51

<u>Your y-intercept is (0,-51).</u>

Next, using our equation plug the appropriate values into the quadratic formula:

x=\frac{-24\pm \sqrt{24^2-4*3*(-54)}}{2*3}

Next, solve the multiplications and exponent:

x=\frac{-24\pm \sqrt{576-(-648)}}{6}\\\\x=\frac{-24\pm \sqrt{576+648}}{6}

Next, solve the addition:

x=\frac{-24\pm \sqrt{1224}}{6}

Now, simplify the radical using the product rule of radicals as such:

  • Product Rule of Radicals: √ab = √a × √b

√1224 = √12 × √102 = √2 × √6 × √6 × √17 = 6 × √2 × √17 = 6√34

x=\frac{-24\pm 6\sqrt{34}}{6}

Next, divide:

x=-4\pm \sqrt{34}

<u>The exact values of your x-intercepts are (-4 + √34, 0) and (-4 - √34, 0).</u>

Now to find the approximate values, solve this twice: once with the + symbol and once with the - symbol:

x=-4+ \sqrt{34},-4- \sqrt{34}\\x\approx 1.83, -9.83

<u>The approximate values of your x-intercepts (rounded to the hundredths) are (1.83,0) and (-9.83,0).</u>

PLSSSS ASAPPP!!!!!!!!!!
konstantin123 [22]
The answer is 13, i got this by using the pythagorean theorem. a^2 + b^2 = c^2. in this case it would be 84^2 + b^2 = 85^2. then that would turn into 7056 + b^2 = 7225, subtract both sides by 7056 to get b^2 = 169, then square 169 to get 13 :)
