Q. g(r)=p2−6p−551) What are the zeros of the function? 2) What is the vertex of the parabola?
Find Zeros of Function: Find the zeros of the function g(r)=p2−6p−55.To find the zeros, we need to solve the quadratic equationp2−6p−55=0.
Factor Quadratic Equation: Factor the quadratic equation p2−6p−55=0. We look for two numbers that multiply to −55 and add up to −6. These numbers are −11 and 5. So, we can write the equation as (p−11)(p+5)=0.
Solve for Zeros: Solve for p to find the zeros.Setting each factor equal to zero gives us the solutions p=11 and p=−5.So, the zeros of the function are p=11 and p=−5.
Identify Smaller and Larger Zeros: Identify the smaller and larger zeros.The smaller zero is p=−5 and the larger zero is p=11.
Find Vertex of Parabola: Find the vertex of the parabola g(r)=p2−6p−55. The vertex form of a parabola is y=a(x−h)2+k, where (h,k) is the vertex. To find the vertex of the parabola, we can use the formula h=−2ab for the x-coordinate of the vertex.
Calculate X-coordinate of Vertex: Calculate the x-coordinate h of the vertex.For the quadratic equation p2−6p−55, a=1 and b=−6.So, h=−(−6)/(2⋅1)=6/2=3.
Calculate Y-coordinate of Vertex: Calculate the y-coordinate k of the vertex.Substitute p=3 into the equation g(r)=p2−6p−55 to find k.k=(3)2−6(3)−55=9−18−55=−64.
Write Vertex of Parabola: Write the vertex of the parabola.The vertex of the parabola is (h,k)=(3,−64).
