To find the vertex use -b/2a (for the x value which is also the axis of symmetry)
So 2/-2 = -1 Therefore the axis of symmetry is x=-1 Plug in for the y value:
y= -(-1)^2 -2(-1) + 1 y=-1 + 2 + 1 y=2 Vertex (-1,2)

The vertex can be found by finding when the derivative is equal to zero (velocity is zero)

dy/dx=-2x-2

dy/dx=0 when -2x-2=0, -2x=2, x=-1

y(-1)=-(-1^2)-2(-1)+1

y(-1)=-1+2+1=2

So the vertex is at the point (-1,2) and the axis of symmetry is the line:

x=-1

Jalil and Victoria are each asked to solve the equation ax – c = bx + d for x. Jalil says it is not possible to isolate x becaus
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Give the expression ax – c = bx + d, we are isolate x i.e we are to make x the subject of the formula.

ax – c = bx + d

Step 1: subtract bx from both sides

ax – c = bx + d

ax-bx = d+c

Step 2: Factor out x in the left hand side of the resulting expression

x(a-b) = d+c

Step 3: Divide both sides by the coefficient of i.e (a-b)

\frac{x(a-b)}{a-b} = \frac{d+c}{a-b}

x = \frac{d+c}{a-b}

Hence Victoria can justify the step 3 of her work by dividing both sides of the expression in 2 by a-b

Which of the following is NOT equivalent to 240/300
Lyrx [107]
Two fractions are said to be equivalent if both the numerator and the numerator of one fraction can be obtained by multiplying or dividing the numerat.or and denominator of the other fraction by a single factor.

Dividing the numerator and denominator of 240/300 by 5 gives 48/60
Dividing the numerator and denominator of 240/300 by 60 gives 4/5
Dividing the numerator and denominator of 240/300 by 10 gives 24/30

Whereas dividing 300 by 2 gives 150 dividing 240 by 2 will not give 122. so 122/150 is not equivalent to 240/300.

What is the answer to 3x-7+6=7x+6
strojnjashka [21]
3x - 7 + 6 = 7x + 6
First shift all the pure numbers to one side
3x = 7x + 6 + 7 - 6
Now add up the pure numbers
3x = 7x + 7
Shift the 7x to the other side
3x - 7x = 7
-4x = 7
Divide 7 by - 4
X = - 1.75
