What are the vertex and x intercepts of the graph of the function below y=(x-4)(x + 2)

Mathematics
1 answer:
jeyben [28]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x - intercepts: (4,0) and (-2,0)

vertex: (1/2 ,  - 17/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

To find the x-intercepts you have to set y=0

(x-4) (x+2) = 0

Separate the parenthesis. Solve for  x

x-4 = 0

x= 4

x+2 = 0

x= -2

x - intercepts: (4,0) and (-2,0)

-------------------------------------------------

Part B

vertex formula for the x: coordinate : -b/2a

Expand the function.

y = 2x^2-2x-8

a = 2

b = -2

c= -8

-b/2a = -(-2)/2(2) = 1/2

vertex x- coordinate: 1/2

Substitute 1/2 back into every "x" in the function to find the "Y" for the vertex.

y = 2(1/2)^2 -2(1/2) -8

y = -17/2

vertex: (1/2 ,  - 17/2)

Find an exponential function of the form y = ab* that passes through the points (0,4)
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

given an exponential function in the form y = ab^{x}

to find a and b use the coordinate points it passes through

using (0, 4 ) , then

4 = ab^{0} [ b^{0} = 1 ] , that is

a = 4 , so

y = 4b^{x}

using (2, 100 )

100 = 4b² ( divide both sides by 4 )

25 = b² ( take the square root of both sides )

\sqrt{25} = b , that is

b = 5

then exponential function is

y = 4 . 5^{x}

Help ASAP and explain why!!!
laila [671]

Answer:

c. Side-Angle-Side

Step-by-step explanation:

Two sides (AB and AC) and an included angle (<BAC) in triangle ∆ABC are congruent to two corresponding sides (AD and AC) and an included corresponding angle (<DAC) in ∆ADC.

Therefore, by the SAS Congruence Theorem, both triangles are congruent.

Which of the following is NOT true of a perpendicular bisector?
kodGreya [7K]

To construct a perpendicular bisector, we have to draw two arcs using each of the endpoints as centers

<h3>What is a perpendicular bisector?</h3>

A perpendicular bisector is said to be a line that intersects the segment of another line perpendicularly and also divides it into two equal parts.

The properties of a perpendicular bisector include:

  • It divides a line segment into two equal parts
  • It makes right angles with the line segment.
  • Points in the perpendicular bisector are equal from the line of the segment.

Hence, all the mentioned properties are correct except that to construct it, we have to draw two arcs using each of the endpoints as centers.
