1. to create your own quadratic you have to just make up any numbers. so off the top of my head:
y = -5x^2 + 10x - 3
2. the equation to find the x value of the vertex uses is the equation -b/2a. You may notice that this is similar to the quadratic formula except for you take away the plus or minus square root part. if you think about it, it makes sense that this would be the vertex because the plus or minus parts are an equal distance away from the center of the parabola. so using the form ax^2 + bx + c we can plug in the a and b:
x = -10/2 (-5)
x = -10/-10
x = 1
so we have x and can plug into equation to get y value:
y = -5 (1)^2 + 10(1) -3
y= -10 + 10 - 3
y = -3
vertex is at point (1, -3)
3. the axis of symmetry is the line that runs straight up and down at the center of a parabola. the center of the parabola is the vertex so the line runs straight up and down through vertex. for a line to run straight up and down it is a constant x value. since the x of the vertex is 1, the line is:
x = 1
4. using quadratic formula :
x = [-b (+-) sqrt (b^2 - 4ac)]/2a
we get:
x = [-10 (+-) sqrt (10^2 - 4 (-5)(-3)]/2 (-5)
x = [-10 (+-) sqrt (100 - 60)]/-10
x= [-10 (+-) sqrt (40)]/-10
x= [-10 (+-) 2* sqrt (10)]/-10
x= [5 (+-) sqrt (10)]/5
that is the answer. You can use a calculator to solve easily.
5. the discriminant is the solution to what is under the squareroot sign. so the square root part was:
sqrt (b^2 - 4ac)
so discriminant is :
b^2 - 4ac
so for this function it is:
10^2 - 4 (-5)(-3)
solving this the discriminant is 40
there are 26 possible letters to choose from and there are 3 letters
there are 10 possible numbers to choose from and there are 3 numbers
combinations = 26 x 26 x 26 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 17,576,000
Answer:
C. The product of 12 and √17
Step-by-step explanation:
Because it gives a number that isn't a repeating or terminating decimal.
In the 1st pair of fours the 4 on the left side is 10 times greater than the 4 on the right. The same thing with the 2nd pair of fours. The 4 on the left side is 10 greater than the 4 on the right. Hope this helps!
