MA_775_DIABLO [31]2 years ago
3 0

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 school made $880 from ticket sales for the school play. From the ticket sales, $250 were from adult tickets.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

126 Students

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you subtract the money from the adult tickets from the total ($880), that leaves $630.

Since each student ticket is $5, you divide $630 by 5, which equals 126.

So, 126 students attended.

The volume of a room that is 23 feet in W , 10 feet in D, and 8 feet in H is?​
Solnce55 [7]

The volume of the room is: 1840 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is the capacity of a given figure.

Given

Width = w = 23 feet

Depth = d = 10 feet

Height = h = 8 feet

The formula for volume is:

V = W*D*H\\= 23*10*8\\=1840\ ft^3

The volume of the room is: 1840 ft^3

Keywords: Volume, Box
