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)

Let g(x)=Intragal from 0 to x f(t) dt, where r is the function whos graph is shown.
leonid [27]

If

\displaystyle g(x) = \int_0^x f(t) \, dt

then g(x) gives the signed area under f(x) over a given interval starting at 0.

In particular,

\displaystyle g(0) = \int_0^0 f(t) \, dt = 0

since the integral of any function over a single point is zero;

\displaystyle g(4) = \int_0^4 f(t) \, dt = 8

since the area under f(x) over the interval [0, 4] is a right triangle with length and height 4, hence area 1/2 • 4 • 4 = 8;

\displaystyle g(8) = \int_0^8 f(t) \, dt = 0

since the area over [4, 8] is the same as the area over [0, 4], but on the opposite side of the t-axis;

\displaystyle g(12) = \int_0^{12} f(t) \, dt = -8

since the area over [8, 12] is the same as over [4, 8], but doesn't get canceled;

\displaystyle g(16) = \int_0^{16} f(t) \, dt = 0

since the area over [12, 16] is the same as over [0, 4], and all together these four triangle areas cancel to zero;

\displaystyle g(20) = \int_0^{20} f(t) \, dt = 24

since the area over [16, 20] is a trapezoid with "bases" 4 and 8, and "height" 4, hence area (4 + 8)/2 • 4 = 24;

\displaystyle g(24) = \int_0^{24} f(t) \, dt = 64

since the area over [20, 24] is yet another trapezoid, but with bases 8 and 12, and height 4, hence area (8 + 12)/2 • 4 = 40, which we add to the previous area.

Alberto uses the steps below to solve the equation One-half x minus 3 equals 7. Step 1: One-half x minus 3 plus 3 equals 7 plus
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Identity property of multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

From step 5:

1x = 20

Here, to solve for x so that the variable x stands alone, Alberto uses the identity property of multiplication, which justifies what he has in step 6.

Step 6:

x = 20

According to the identity property of multiplication, any value you multiply by 1 gives you that same value.

Therefore, 1x = 1 × x = x.

The variable x multiplied by 1 will give you x.

Does anyone understand this
Nataliya [291]

For this problem, 0.25 in = 50 m. So

11 in = (11 in) • (50/0.25 m/in) = 2200 m

Alternatively, if 0.25 in = 50 m, that means 1 in = 200 m. So 11 in = 11 (200 m) = 2200 m.

1) At Joe's Restaurant, one-fourth of the
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

<u>1/20 of the patrons at Joe's restaurant are expected to be male and out of town.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information provided for solving this question:

Proportion of patrons that are male at Joe's restaurant = 1/4

Proportion of patrons that are from out of town at Joe's restaurant = 1/5

2.  What  proportion would you expect to be  male and out of town?

For finding the proportion of the patrons, that would be male and that would be from out of town, we do this calculation:

Proportion of patrons that are male at Joe's restaurant * Proportion of patrons that are from out of town at Joe's restaurant

<u>1/4 * 1/5 = 1/20 </u>

<u>It means that 1/20 of the patrons at Joe's restaurant are expected to be male and out of town.</u>
