Answer:

a) axis of symmetry: <em> </em><em>x</em> = <em>h</em>

b) Vertex: (3, 11).

c/d) Maximum point = vertex (3, 11).

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Note:</u></em><em> </em>This post will only provide the answers for parts a through d, in accordance with Brainly's Guidelines.

Given the quadratic equation, y = – 2x² + 12x - 7, where a = -2, b = 12, and c = -7:

<h3>  </h3><h3>a) What is equation of the axis of symmetry?</h3>

The <u>axis of symmetry</u> is an imaginary line that divides the graph of a parabola into two symmetrical parts.  The axis of symmetry goes through the x-coordinate of the vertex, (<em>h</em>, k). Hence, the axis of symmetry is often represented by the following equation: x = h.  

<h3 /><h3>b) What is the vertex?</h3>

We can find the x-coordinate of the vertex by using the following formula:

\displaystyle\mathsf{x\:=\:\frac{-b}{2a}}

Substitute the given values for a = -2, and b = 12 into the formula:

\displaystyle\mathsf{x\:=\:\frac{-(12)}{2(-2)}\:=\:\frac{-12}{-4}\:=\:3}

Hence, the x-coordinate of the vertex is 3.  

Substitute x = 3 into the given quadratic equation to find its corresponding y-coordinate:

y = – 2x² + 12x – 7

y = – 2(3)² + 12(3) – 7

y = –2(9) + 36 – 7

y = – 18 + 36 – 7

y = 11

Therefore, the <u>vertex</u> of the given quadratic equation is (3, 11).

<h3 /><h3>c/d) Does the equation have a maximum or minimum? What is the maximum/minimum?</h3>

The value of the "<em>a</em>" coefficient in the quadratic equation, y = <u>a</u>x² + bx + c, determines whether a given parabola has either a minimum, or a maximum.

  • If <em>a</em> > 1, then it means that the graph of a parabola opens <u>upward</u>, and the vertex is its <u><em>minimum</em></u> point.
  • If <em>a</em> < 0, then the graph of a parabola opens downward, and the vertex is its <u><em>maximum</em></u> point.  

Since the value of our given quadratic equation is a = -2, then it means that its graph opens <em>downward</em>, and that the <u>vertex is its maximum point</u>.  

Attached is a screenshot of the graph, where it shows the vertex occurring at point (3, 11), for which the axis of symmetry goes through at x = 3.

What is 50 plus 30 divided by 4
Aloiza [94]

Answer: 57.5

Step-by-step explanation: The first thing you need to know about the order of operations is that multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction.

So in this problem, we are going to divide before we add.

Since 30 divided by 4 is 7.5, our next step will read 50 + 7.5 and 50 + 7.5 simplifies to 14.

Write an equation of the line that passes through the point (4, –5) with slope 2.
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

y + 5 = 2(x−4)

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = 2

y = mx + b

-5 = 2(4) + b

-5 = 8 + b

-8    -8

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

-13 = b

y = 2x - 13, in other words --> y + 5 = 2(x−4)

So, y + 5 = 2(x − 4) is the equation of the line that passes through (4, -5).

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

4 (x - 7) - 2 (x + 1) = 10

x = 10

B. -2 (x - 7) + (x + 1) = 5

x = 10

your equation is equivalent to B!

The following two-way table shows the data for the students of two different grades in a school:
Alenkasestr [34]
There are 18 students in Grade 7, 10 are in band, so 10/18 = 0.56 are in band.

There are 12 students in Grade 8, 10 are in band, so 10/12 = 0.83 are in band.

Students in Grade 8 are more likely to be members of the band.
