Answer:

A, D, E are true

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to complete the square to prove A.  Do this by first setting the function equal to 0, then moving the 5 to the other side.

x^2-8x=-5

Now we can complete the square.  Take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides.  Our linear term is 8 (from the -8x).  Half of 8 is 4, and 4 squared is 16.  So we add 16 to both sides.

(x^2-8x+16)=-5+16

We will do the addition on the right, no big deal.  On the left, however, what we have done in the process of completing the square is to create a perfect square binomial, which gives us the h coordinate of the vertex.  We will rewrite with that perfect square on the left and the addition done on the right,

(x-4)^2=11

Now we will move the 11 back over, which gives us the k coordinate of the vertex.

(x-4)^2-11=y

From this you can see that A is correct.

Also we can see that the vertex of this parabola is (4, -11), which is why B is NOT correct.

The axis of symmetry is also found in the h value.  This is, by definition, a positive x-squared parabola (opens upwards), so its axis of symmetry will be an "x = " equation.  In the case of this type of parabola, that "x = " will always be equal to the h value.  So the axis of symmetry is

x = 4, which is why C is NOT correct, either.

We can find the y-intercept of the function by going back to the standard form of the parabola (NOT the vertex form we found by completing the square) and sub in a 0 for x.  When we do that, and then solve for y, we find that when x = 0, y = 5.  So the y-intercept is (0, 5).

From this you can see that D is also correct.

To determine if the parabola has real solutions (meaning it will go through the x-axis twice), you can plug it into the quadratic formula to find these values of x.  I just plugged the formula into my graphing calculator and graphed it to see that it did, indeed, go through the x-axis twice.  Just so you know, the values of x where the function go through are (.6833752, 0) and (7.3166248, 0).  That's why you need the quadratic formula to find these values.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a fascinating question. It turns out to be true because of the relationship between a 30 degree angle and a 60 degree angle

The answer is that the product of sin30*sin60 = cos(30)*cos(60). This happens because sin(60) = cos(90-60) = cos(30)

Other angles will do the same thing sin36 * sin54 = cos(54)*cos(36)
