Answer:

2a)  -2

b) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a parabola in vertex form</u>

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) is the vertex and the axis of symmetry is x = h

2 a)

Using the equation of a parabola in vertex form, a parabola with vertex (2, -6):  

f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 6

If one of the x-axis intercepts is 6, then

                 f(6) = 0

⇒ a(6 - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒         16a - 6 = 0

⇒              16a = 6

⇒                  a = 6/16 = 3/8

So f(x) = 3/8(x - 2)² - 6

To find the other intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:

                    f(x) = 0

⇒ 3/8(x - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒      3/8(x - 2)² = 6

⇒           (x - 2)² = 16

⇒              x - 2 = ±4

⇒                   x = 6,  -2

Therefore, the other x-axis intercept is -2

b)

Using the equation of a parabola in vertex form, a parabola with vertex (2, -6):  

f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 6

If one of the x-axis intercepts is -4, then

                 f(-4) = 0

⇒ a(-4 - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒         36a - 6 = 0

⇒              36a = 6

⇒                  a = 6/36 = 1/6

So f(x) = 1/6(x - 2)² - 6

To find the other intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:

                    f(x) = 0

⇒  1/6(x - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒       1/6(x - 2)² = 6

⇒           (x - 2)² = 36

⇒              x - 2 = ±6

⇒                   x = 8,  -4

Therefore, the other x-axis intercept is 8

What must be true for lines a and b to be parallel lines? Check all that apply.
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Option (1), (2) , (7) and (8) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: a║b  and d and c be transversal , We have to find the value of x and measure of angle 1 and 2.

Since, a║b  and d be a transversal  then ,

∠BXZ = ∠AZP = 58° ( corresponding angles )

Thus, m∠2 = 58°

∠BYC = ∠XYZ = (4X-10)° (vertically opposite angles)

Since, a║b  and c be a transversal  then,

  ∠XYZ = ∠QZU = (4X-10)°  (Corresponding angles)

Thus, m∠1 =  (4X-10)°

Also, Since, 'a' is a straight line.

Sum of angles on a straight line is 180°.

⇒ ∠PZA + ∠PZQ + ∠QZU = 180°

⇒ 58° +(3X-1)°+(4X-10)° = 180°

⇒ 58° + 7x - 11 = 180°

⇒ 47° + 7x  = 180°

⇒  7x  = 180°- 47°

⇒  7x  = 133°

⇒  x  = 19°

Put x = 19 in (3X-1)° and (4X-10)° , we get

(3X-1)° = (3(19)-1)° = 56°

(4X-10)° = (4(19)-10)°= 66

Thus, (3X-1)° ≠ (4X-10)°

Thus, option (1), (2) , (7) and (8) is correct.
