Step-by-step explanation:

Root of the function, where y = 0

f(x) = x² + 2x - 1

0 = x² + 2x - 1

x² + 2x - 1 = 0

x² + 2x = 1

x² + 2x + 1 = 1 + 1

(x + 1)² = 2

x + 1 = ±√2

x = -1 ± √2

Roots → x = -1 ± √2

Transform the given quadratic function into vertex form f(x) = quadratic function into vertex form f(x) = quadratic function int

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

$f(x) = 3(x -\frac{2}{3})^2 -\frac{22}{3}$

The vertex is $(\frac{2}{3}, -\frac{22}{3})$

Step-by-step explanation:

For a general quadratic function the form is:

$ax ^ 2 + bx + c$

For the function

$f(x) = 3x ^ 2 -4x -6$

Take common factor 3.

$f(x) = 3(x ^ 2 -\frac{4}{3}x - 2)$

The values of the coefficients for the function within the parenthesis are the following: $a = 1$ , $b = -\frac{4}{3}$ , $c = -2$

Take the value of b and divide it by 2. Then, the result obtained squares it.

$\frac{b}{2}= -\frac{2}{3}$

$(\frac{b}{2})^2=\frac{4}{9}$

Add and subtract $\frac{4}{9}$

$f(x) = 3([x ^ 2 -\frac{4}{3}x +\frac{4}{9}]- 2-\frac{4}{9})$

Write the expression of the form

$f(x) = (x-\frac{b}{2})^2 +k$

$f(x) = 3(x -\frac{2}{3})^2 -\frac{22}{3}$

The vertex is $(\frac{2}{3}, -\frac{22}{3})$

1. Find p(-3) if p(x) = 4x3 - 5x2 + 7x - 10

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

1) -184

2) 13 $(m^{4}) ^{2}$ -3( $m^{4}$ )+4

Step-by-step explanation:

For problem number 1, Let's start by substituting all the x's for -3

So the equation will look like

p(-3)= $4(-3)^{3}$ - $5(-3)^{2}$ +7(-3)-10

Now, lets simplify by solving the exponents

First we'll do $-3^{3}$ which equals -27

Now we'll do $-3^{2}$ which equals 9

So now our equation looks like

p(-3)=4(-27)-5(9)+7(-3)-10

Now, we are going to multiply all these numbers

First 4(-27) which equals -108

Now -5(9) which equals -45

And finally 7(-3) which equals -21

Now our equation looks like

p(-3)= -108-45-21-10

Now we can solve

-108-45-21-10=-184
