108+36+36 = 180 degrees
How about: x-36 = 36 => x = 36+36 => x = 72
The graph of a quadratic function is y = ax + bx + c or y = a(x - h) + k, where (h, k) is the vertex. Since x2 - 12x + 40 cannot be factored, then I will complete the square which will give me the vertex. So I will draw the parabola (which opens upward) by using the vertex and the y-intercept, (0, 40). y = x2 - 12x + 40 add and subtract 62 y = x2 - 12x + 62 - 36 + 40 y = (x - 6)2 + 4 so the vertex is (6, 4) which shows that the parabola does not intersect the x-axis. Since the axis of symmetry is x = 6, and the y-intercept point is (0, 40), I have another point (12, 40). I can also find other points by letting x to be 2, or 3, or 4 and finding the corresponding y-values. For example, if x = 3, then y = 13. So the point (3, 13) will give me its symmetric point (9, 13), and so on. Thus, I can use all these points to draw the parabola.
(-1.2,0),(1.2,0)v(0, -72)50x^2-72=0 factor out 22(25x^2-36)=02(5x+6)(5x-6)=0x=-6/5 and x=6/5The average of these two is zero, substitute that into the equation and you get -72.
3n=36 Write the equation n=12 Divide each side of the equation by 3 to get the variable alone.
