Question nº28 The function is \[f(x)=7x^2-28x-60\] To obtain the vertex, write the functio in the vertex form Write the function as \[f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k\] Therefore, \[f(x)=7(x^2-4x)-60\] By completing the squares \[f(x)=7(x^2-4x+4)-60-28\] \[f(x)=7(x-2)^2-88\] The vertex is \[=(h,k)=(2, -88)\] The answer is option A

The equation of the height in terms of t is \[h(t)=-16t^2+64t+80\] Write the equation in the vertex form \[h(t)=-16(t^2-4t)+80\] \[h(t)=-16(t^2-4t+4)+80+64\] \[h(t)=-16(t-2)^2+144\] The maximun point is when \[t=2\] and the height is \[h(2)=144ft\] The answer is option A

Question nº24 Are you familiar with the discriminant? The equation is \[2x^2-3x-5=0\] Comparing this to the equation \[ax^2+bx+c=0\] a=2 b=-3 c=-5 The discriminant is \[\Delta =b^2-4ac =(-3)^2-4*(2)*(-5)=9+40=49\] As the discriminant is \[\Delta >0\] There are 2 solutions The answer is option C

Nicole:

Okay http://prntscr.com/ntbgu8

Narad:

Question nº25 The equation is \[x^2-5x+9=0\] a=1 b=-5 c=9 The discriminant is \[\Delta = b^2-4ac=(-5)^2-4*1*9=25-36=-9\] as \[\Delta < 0\] There are no real solutions The solutions are \[x=(-b \pm \sqrt{\Delta})/(2a) = (5\pm \sqrt{-9})/(2*1)\] \[x=5/2\pm 3/2i\] I think there is a problem with the solutions proposed.

Narad:

Question nº26 The equation is \[x^2-6x+4=0\] a=1 b=-6 c=4 The discriminant is \[\Delta= b^2-4ac=(-6)^2-4*4=36-16=20\] The solutions are \[x=(-b \pm \sqrt{\Delta})/(2a)=(6\pm \sqrt{20})/(2) =(6\pm2\sqrt{5})/2=3\pm \sqrt{5}\] This is TRUE

Question nº 28 was the second question Question nº29 was the third question

Nicole:

Yes I got that http://prntscr.com/ntc10h

Narad:

This is a quadratic function The domain is all real values \[x \in \mathbb{R} \] The range is \[y \in [-\infty, 4)\] Therefore \[y \le 4\] The answer is option C
