Use the function f(x)=x 2 −6x+8 to answer the following questions: a. What is the y-intercept? b. What are the x-intercepts? c. What is the vertex? d. What is the axis of symmetry?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

given the function

f(x) = x² - 6x + 8

(a)

to find the y- intercept , let x = 0 in f(x)

f(0) = 0² - 6(0) + 8 = 0 - 0 + 8 = 8 ← y- intercept

(b)

to find the x- intercepts , let f(x) = 0 , that is

x² - 6x + 8 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 2)(x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

the x- intercepts are x = 2 and x = 4 or (0, 2 ), (0, 4 ) in coordinate form

(c)

given a quadratic in standard form

f(x) = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )

then the x- coordinate of the vertex is

x_(vertex) = - (b)/(2a)

f(x) = x² - 6x + 8 ← is in standard form

with a = 1 and b = - 6 , then

x_(vertex) = - (-6)/(2) = - (- 3) = 3

evaluate f(3) for corresponding y- coordinate

f(3) = 3² - 6(3) + 8 = 9 - 18 + 8 = - 9 + 8 = - 1

vertex = (3, - 1 )

(d)

the axis of symmetry is a vertical line , passing through the vertex with equation

x = c ( c is the value of the x- coordinate of the vertex )

equation of axis of symmetry is then x = 3

Which expressions are perfect square trinomials? Check all that apply. A. x2 + 16x + 8
B. x2 + 14x + 49
C. x2 – 5x + 25
D. x2 – 24x + 144
E. x2 + 9x – 81

Answers

perfect square trinomials are in the form
ax^2+bx+c such that
a=1
(b/2)^2=c

check each
all of them have 1 in front so skipt that step

A. (16/2)^2=8? false so no
B. (14/2)^2=49? true, this is
C. (-5/2)^2=25? false, this is not
D. (-24/2)^2=144? true, this is
E. (-9/2)^2=-81? false (easy way is that x^2 is never equal to a negative unless it is complex

B and D are answers

A. Doesn't work
B. (x + 7)(x + 7) = Works
C. Doesn't work
D. (x - 12)(x - 12) = Works
E. Doesn't work 

Therefore the answers are B and D 
The other don't work because they do not become perfect squares. 

Calculate the radius of the sphere with the given volume.

​ Volume=4/81π ft^3

Answers

Answer:

(∛3)/2 ft =  r

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the formula for the volume of a sphere:  V = (4/3)πr³.  Solve this for r³ and then take the cube root of the result:

                                                     3V

V = (4/3)πr³ =>  (3/4)V = πr³  => (------- = r³

                                                     4π

                               3 · 4/81π ft^3       3 · 4π ft³           3 ft³

Here we have r³ = -------------------- = ----------------  = -------------

                                      4π                  8(4π)                   8

and so the radius is  r = ∛[ (3/8) ft³]  =  (∛3)/2 ft =  r

Urgent help! This is very important please help me fast! How do you do: Expand & simplify:(x 4)(x 2)Can you tell me how to work it out please?

Answers

so the question is asking: (x-4)(x-2)
because there is a bracket in between the two expressions it means we have to multiply them together: (x-4) x (x-2)

you can break down the question into smaller parts:
x multiply x
x multiply -2
-4 multiply x
-4 multiply -2

here are the answers:
x^2 (means x squared)
-2x
-4x
8 (because when you multiply two negative numbers it makes a positive)

now you put it into an expression (this is expanding):
x^2 - 2x - 4x + 8

to simplify it you collect like terms:
x^2 - 6x + 8

The above is the answer :)
