Answer:

  a) maximum; the parabola opens downward

  b) positive; it must lie above the x-axis

  c) x = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts of a function are the points where the graph of the function crosses the x-axis. The y-values there are zero.

The "differences" of a function are related to the average slope between adjacent points. Second differences are related to the rate of change of the slope of the function. When <em>second differences are negative</em>, as here, the slope of the quadratic function is decreasing, becoming more negative. We say the <em>curvature</em> of the function is <em>negatve</em>, and that it <em>opens downward</em>.

__

<h3>a, b.</h3>

If the graph of the parabola opens downward, and it crosses the x-axis, it must have a <em>maximum</em> that is a <em>positive value of y</em>.

__

<h3>c.</h3>

The graph of a parabola is symmetrical about its vertex. That means points on the same horizontal line are the same distance from the line of symmetry, which must go through the vertex. The x-coordinate of the vertex will be the x-coordinate of the midpoint between the two x-intercepts:

  x = (-2 +5)/2 = 3/2

The x-coordinate of the vertex is x = 1.5.

______

<em>Additional comment</em>

The attachment shows a table with three evenly-spaced points on the curve. The calculations show first differences (d1) and second differences (d2). You can see that the sign of the second diffference is negative, in agreement with the given conditions.

A park is 4.6 miles long and 2.7 miles wide. A:what is the total distance around the park? B:if a racecar drove 50 times around
Vlada [557]

Answer:

A) Total distance around the park is 14.6 miles

B) The total distance drove by racer 730 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The length of park = 4.6 miles

The width of park = 2.7 miles

Let the total distance cover around park = Perimeter of park = P miles

So, Perimeter of rectangular park = 2 × Length + 2 × width

or, P = 2 × 4.6 + 2 × 2.7

I.e P = 9.2 + 5.4

Or, perimeter = 14.6 miles

A ) ∴ Total distance around the park = 14.6 miles

B ) The total distance drove by racer = 50 times around the park

  So, The total distance drove by car = 50 × Total distance around the park

∴The total distance drove by car = 50 × 14.6 = 730 miles

Hence A) Total distance around the park is 14.6 miles

          B) The total distance drove by racer 730 miles   answer
