Factor the quadratic equation (3x-4)(x+3). Then set the factors equal to zero.

3x-4=0, solve to get 4/3

x+3=0 x=-3

Write 3x^2-18x-6 in vertex form
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
The standard form of a quadratic equation is \displaystyle{ y=ax^2+bx+c, while the vertex form is:

                      y=a(x-h)^2+k, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

What we want is to write \displaystyle{ y=3x^2-18x-6 as y=a(x-h)^2+k

First, we note that all the three terms have a factor of 3, so we factorize it and write:

\displaystyle{ y=3(x^2-6x-2).


Second, we notice that x^2-6x are the terms produced by (x-3)^2=x^2-6x+9, without the 9. So we can write:

x^2-6x=(x-3)^2-9, and substituting in \displaystyle{ y=3(x^2-6x-2) we have:

\displaystyle{ y=3(x^2-6x-2)=3[(x-3)^2-9-2]=3[(x-3)^2-11].

Finally, distributing 3 over the two terms in the brackets we have:

y=3[x-3]^2-33.


Answer: y=3(x-3)^2-33

Polygon Q is a scaled copy of polygon P using a scale factor of 1/2. Polygon Q's area is what fraction of Polygon P's area.
DaniilM [7]

Answer: Polygon Q's area is 1/4 of Polygon P's area

======================================================

Explanation:

Imagine we had a square with side length 8. The area of this square is 8*8 = 64.

Now let's reduce each side of the square by the scale factor 1/2. So each new side is 8*(1/2) = 4. The area of this smaller square is 4*4 = 16.

Comparing the new area (16) to the old one (64), we see that the new area is 16/64 = 1/4 of the old area.

In other words,

new smaller area = (1/4)*(old larger area)

So this is one example to see why (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4 is the area scale factor based on the linear scale factor of 1/2. In short, (1/2)^2 = 1/4. Whatever the original scale factor is, square it and you'll get the area scale factor.
