Answer:

The x-intercept is 5.

Some people prefer you right it as a point (5,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept can be found by setting y=0 and solving for x.

Just like to find the y-intercept you can set x=0 and solve for y.

Let's find the x-intercept.

So we will set y=0 and solve for x:

3x-9y=15

3x-9(0)=15

3x-0 =15

3x =15

Divide both sides by 3:

x =15/3

x =5

So the x-intercept is (5,0).

Are -4 ( x - 6) and -4 • x - 4 • 6 equivalent

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

$no$

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets solve the first half.

$-4 ( x - 6) = -4x + 24$

Second one:

$-4 times x - 4 times 6 = -4x -24$

Now compare.....Not the same right??

So your answer is: $no$

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

$\textsf{A)} \quad x=-2, \:\:x=\dfrac{5}{2}$

$\textsf{B)} \quad \left(\dfrac{1}{4},-\dfrac{81}{8}\right)=(0.25,-10.125)$

C) See attachment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

$f(x)=2x^2-x-10$

To factor a <u>quadratic</u> in the form $ax^2+bx+c$ <em> , </em>find two numbers that multiply to $ac$ and sum to $b$ :

$\implies ac=2 \cdot -10=-20$

$\implies b=-1$

Therefore, the two numbers are -5 and 4.

Rewrite $b$ as the sum of these two numbers:

$\implies f(x)=2x^2-5x+4x-10$

Factor the first two terms and the last two terms separately:

$\implies f(x)=x(2x-5)+2(2x-5)$

Factor out the common term (2x - 5):

$\implies f(x)=(x+2)(2x-5)$

The x-intercepts are when the curve crosses the x-axis, so when y = 0:

$\implies (x+2)(2x-5)=0$

Therefore:

$\implies (x+2)=0 \implies x=-2$

$\implies (2x-5)=0 \implies x=\dfrac{5}{2}$

So the x-intercepts are:

$x=-2, \:\:x=\dfrac{5}{2}$

The x-value of the vertex is:

$\implies x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}$

Therefore, the x-value of the vertex of the given function is:

$\implies x=\dfrac{-(-1)}{2(2)}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

To find the y-value of the vertex, substitute the found value of x into the function:

$\implies f\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)=2\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^2-\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)-10=-\dfrac{81}{8}$

Therefore, the vertex of the function is:

$\left(\dfrac{1}{4},-\dfrac{81}{8}\right)=(0.25,-10.125)$

Plot the x-intercepts found in Part A.

Plot the vertex found in Part B.

As the <u>leading coefficient</u> of the function is positive, the parabola will open upwards. This is confirmed as the vertex is a minimum point.

The axis of symmetry is the <u>x-value</u> of the <u>vertex</u>. Draw a line at x = ¹/₄ and use this to ensure the drawing of the parabola is <u>symmetrical</u>.

Draw a upwards opening parabola that has a minimum point at the vertex and that passes through the x-intercepts (see attachment).
