Answer:

Vertex: (6, 18)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic function, m(x) = -2(x - 3)(x - 9):

Perform the FOIL method on the two binomials, (x - 3)(x - 9) without distributing -2:

m(x) = -2[(x - 3)(x - 9)]

Combine like terms:

m(x) = -2(x² - 9x - 3x + 27)

m(x) = -2(x² - 12x + 27)

where: a = 1, b = -12, and c = 27

Since the <u>axis of symmetry</u> occurs at <em>x</em> = <em>h</em>, then we can use the following formula to solve for the x-coordinate (<em>h </em>) of the vertex, (h, k):

x = \frac{-b}{2a}

Substitute a = 1 and b = -12 into the formula:

x = \frac{-b}{2a}

x = \frac{-(-12)}{2(1)} = \frac{12}{2} = 6

Therefore, the x-coordinate (h) of the vertex is 6.  

Next, substitute the value of <em>h</em> into x² - 12x + 27 to find the y-coordinate (<em>k </em>) of the vertex:

<em>k </em> = x² - 12x + 27

<em>k </em> = (6)² - 12(6) + 27

<em>k </em>= 36 - 72 + 27

<em>k</em> = 18

Therefore, the <u>vertex</u> of the quadratic function occurs at point (6, 18), in which it is the maximum point on the graph.

You need a 45% alcohol solution. On hand, you have a 175 mL of a 25% alcohol mixture. You also have 70% alcohol mixture. How muc
Bezzdna [24]

175 mL at 25% concentration of alcohol contains 0.25 (175 mL) = 43.75 mL of alcohol. If <em>v</em> is the amount of the 70% solution that you use, then that amount contains 0.7<em>v</em> mL of alcohol.

Mixing these two yields a total volume of 175 mL + <em>v</em>, and it contains 43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em> alcohol. You want to end up with a concentration of 45%, which means the ratio of the amount of alcohol to the total volume needs to be 0.45:

(43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em>) / (175 mL + <em>v</em>) = 0.45

Solve for <em>v</em> :

43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em> = 0.45 (175 mL + <em>v</em>)

43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em> = 78.75 mL + 0.45<em>v</em>

0.25<em>v</em> = 35 mL

<em>v</em> = 140 mL
