if we zero out f(x), namely make y = 0, we can get the roots or x-intercepts for this quadratic equation

now, the equation is in x-terms, meaning is a vertically opening parabola, so the axis of symmetry will be x = something, a vertical line.
well, we have two x-intercepts, one at -4 and another at 2, and the vertex is right half-way between those guys
-4------------(-1)------------2
so the vertex is at x=-1, namely the axis of symmetry is x = -1.
Answer:
Multiplying/simplifying, it is x^2-100(found by the FOIL method)
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply the commons factors x times x is x squared
-10 times 10 is -100. Negative times positive is negative.
Answer:
10+8x=y
Step-by-step explanation:
The 10$ is added on because it's a one time exchange and the 8 is multiplied by the x because for every hour you add 8$ to the price and y is the total price at the end depending on x.
Answer:
x = 8.0 m
Step-by-step explanation:
With the angle presented, I'm assuming you know basic trigonometry. We know cosθ = adj/hyp from SOH CAH TOA. We have angle and hypotenuse, so plugging in those values we get cos(20°) = x / 8.5. Solve for x to get 8.5cos(20°) = 7.987387277 m = 8.0 m.
Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
Using elimination method.
Add equation 1 to equation 2
x + y = 11
x - y = 7
---------------
2x + 0 = 18
Divide both sides by 2
2x = 18
---- ----
2 2
x = 9
