F(x) = 2x² - 8x - 10.
This is a parabola open upward (since a>0) with an axis of symmetry = -b/2a:
a) axis of symmetry: x = -(-8)/(2*2) = 8/4 = 2. Then x = 2, which is the x component of the vertex
b) for x = 2, f(x) = f(2) = - 18 (component of y of the vertex)
c) VERTEX(2, - 18)
d) DISCRIMINENT: b² - 4.a.c = 64 - 4*2*(-10) = 144
Answer:
(-1, -1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates and divide by 2
( -11+9)/2 = -2/2 = -1
To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates and divide by 2
(0+-1)/2 = -1/2
(-1, -1/2)
Answer:
x = -3 and y = -4
x + y = -3-4 = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x + 9y = -11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------(1)
-3x + 7y = -9--------------------------------------------------------------------------(2)
multiply through equation (1) by 3 and multiply through equation(2) by 4
-12x + 27y = -33 -----------------------------------------------------------------------(3)
-12x + 28y = -36 ----------------------------------------------------------------------(4)
subtract equation (1) from equation (2)
y = -3
substitute y = -3 into equation (2)
-3x + 7(-3) = -9
-3x -21 = -9
add 21 to both-side of the equation
-3x -21 + 21 = -9 + 21
-3x = 12
divide both-side of the equation by -3
-3x/-3 = 12/-3
x = -4
x = -3 and y = -4

Answer:
23, 49
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the smaller of the two numbers. Then the larger is s+26, and the sum is ...
s + (s+26) = 72
2s = 72 -26
s = (72 -26)/2 = 23
Then the larger number is
s +26 = 49
The two numbers are 23 and 49.
_____
The reason we wrote the solution this way is to show you that the smaller number is half the difference between the given sum (72) and difference (26). This is the generic solution to a "sum and difference" problem. The smaller number is always half the difference of the give sum and difference. (Similarly, the larger is always half the sum of the given sum and difference.)
That is, the two numbers are always half the sum ± half the difference:
72/2 ± 26/2 = {36+13, 36-13} = {49, 23}
