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

13. Write a rule for the linear function in the table.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

(x)= 2, 5, 8, 11

Use the formula  

a n  =  a 1  +  d  ( n  −  1 )

to identify the arithmetic sequence.

a n  =  3 n  −  1

f(x)= 5, 11 17, 23

Use the formula  

a n  = a 1  +  d  ( n − 1 )

to identify the arithmetic sequence.

a n  =  6n  −  1

x      f(x)

2      5

5      11

8      17

11      23

Nothing further can be done with this topic. Please check the expression entered or try another topic.

2 ,   5 ,   8 ,   11

Step-by-step explanation:

Write a rule for the linear function in the table.

x;     f(x)

2      8

5     17

5      11

11    23

A; f(x) = x + 5

B;f(x) = x + 1

C;f(x) = 2x + 1

D;f(x) = –2x – 1

If all your solutions are  

A; f(x) = x + 5

B;f(x) = x + 1

C;f(x) = 2x + 1

D;f(x) = –2x – 1

None of the above will work with the data set you have presented.

1)<br> Find the value of x.
Stells [14]

x=8

Explanation:

the opposite side is 72, which means I have to make 9x end up equaling 72.

72÷9

////

72/9

=8

9×8=72

<u>Therefore</u>

the value of x is 8.

The graph represents function 1, and the equation represents function 2: Function 1 A coordinate plane graph is shown. A horizon
Katena32 [7]
The horizontal line at y=4 doesn't have any slope, so the answer should be relatively easy to find.  It's just the slope of Function 2.

y = 8x + 12 is the function for Function 2.  8x is the important part.

So the rate of change differing from both functions is 8.
