$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 4(5-3x)$

a(b-c)=ab-ac

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 4(5)-4(3x)$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 20-12x$

The axis of symmetry for the function f(x) = –2x2 + 4x + 1 is the line x = 1. Where is the vertex of the function located?

Answer:

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the h coordinate of the vertex as 1, but in order to find the k coordinate, you have to complete the square on the parabola. The first few steps are as follows. Set the parabola equal to 0 so you can solve for the vertex. Separate the x terms from the constant by moving the constant to the other side of the equals sign. The coefficient HAS to be a +1 (ours is a -2 so we have to factor it out). Let's start there. The first 2 steps result in this polynomial:

$-2x^2+4x=-1$ . Now we factor out the -2:

$-2(x^2-2x)=-1$ . Now we complete the square. This process is to take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 2x. Half of 2 is 1, and 1 squared is 1. We add 1 into the set of parenthesis. But we actually added into the parenthesis is +1(-2). The -2 out front is a multiplier and we cannot ignore it. Adding in to both sides looks like this:

$-2(x^2-2x+1)=-1-2$ . Simplifying gives us this:

$-2(x^2-2x+1)=-3$

On the left we have created a perfect square binomial which reflects the h coordinate of the vertex. Stating this binomial and moving the -3 over by addition and setting the polynomial equal to y:

$-2(x-1)^2+3=y$

From this form,

$y=-a(x-h)^2+k$

you can determine the coordinates of the vertex to be (1, 3)

NEED HELP URGENT!! How do I solve this on number 30?(please go through the steps)

tatiyna

x^2+6x-5=0

x^2=2x

2x+6x-5=0

2x+6x=8x

8x-5=0

+5 +5

(if you don’t know what I’m doing here is that I’m removing the negative 5 by putting a positive 5 since both of them make 0. Also the “x” always stay alone and the unit stays as the unit)

(I putted the positive under the 0 because what u do to the unit you need to do the same thing with the other.)

8x/8=5/8

(If ur lost here it means dividing.)

The answer

X=0.625

(btw I’m not really sure if this is right so um don’t really trust me in this lol)

The graphs of three functions are shown.

Answer:

The square root and quadratic function share a y-intercept.
The range of the square root and absolute value function are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Y-intercepts are the same when the curves meet the y-axis at the same point. That is true of the root and quadratic functions.

X-intercepts are the same when the curves meet the x-axis at the same point. None of these functions share an x-intercept.

The ranges of the functions are the same when they have the same vertical extent. The range of the quadratic is different from the range of the other two functions.

The absolute value and root functions have the same minimum (lower end of their range). That is the same as the maximum of the quadratic function.

The statements that match the graphs are ...
