Determine the axis of symmetry for the function f(x)= -2(x + 3)2 - 5.

-2.125

Step-by-step explanation:

1. simplify the function

-2(x+3)2-5

(-2x-6)2-5

(-4x-12)-5

-4x-17

2. formula for axis of symmetry: -b/2a

a=-4 b=-17

-(-17)/2(-4)=17/-8=-2.125

The axis of symmetry for the function f(x) is x=-3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of a quadratic function is

                .... (1)

Where, (h,k) is vertex and x=h is the axis of symmetry.

The given function is

          .... (2)

From (1) and (2), we get

The axis of symmetry is

Substitute h=-3 in the above equation.

Therefore the axis of symmetry for the function f(x) is x=-3.

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer

1. 180°. the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°, for the equilateral triangle that it has three equals side is 60°+60°+60°=180°.

2. 60°. each interior angle of a equilateral triangle is 60°

3. 120°. the measure of ∠m is 120°, the sum of the angles ∠m and ∠n is equal to 180°. so, in order to find the measure of ∠m, we have ∠m+∠n=180° > ∠m=180°-∠n > ∠m=180°-60°=120°.

4. 360°. the sum of the exterior angles of an equilateral triangle is ∠m+∠r+∠x=120°+120°+120°=360°. the exterior angles of any triangle always add 360°.
