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

Solve: -18 = -3x + 6
Stella [2.4K]

Let's start by moving all like terms to their own sides:

-18 = -3x + 6

3x = 6 + 18

3x = 24

x = 8

Can u please help me with 27
Pachacha [2.7K]
The answer would be 237.375. To get this answer, you will first use the formula given for each unit. First, you will do the first unit by putting 8 to the third power, or basically 8x8x8. After you get the product 512, you will then do the next unit. Do that one by doing 6.5 to the third power, or as followed, 6.5x6.5x6.5. Once you get the product 274.625, you will then subtract that from 512. You will then receive the answer 237.375.

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

n(G or F) = n(G) + n(F) - n(G and F)

Total will be the greatest when the intersection is empty

Largest number = 15 + 17 = 32
