x = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

That is quite long and drawn out, so we have to get it down to a single quadratic equation, set equal to 0.

Begin by expanding the right side to get

y+3x-6=-3(x^2-4x+4)+4

then multiplying in the -3 to get

y+3x-6=-3x^2+12x-12+4

Now we will combine all the like terms and get everything on one side of the equals sign, and set it equal to 0:

-3x^2+9x-2=0

In order to find the equation of the axis of symmetry we have to put it into vertex form, which is accomplished by completing the square on this quadratic.

In order to complete the square, the leading coefficient has to be a +1. Ours is a -3, so we will factor that out. First, though, now that it is set to equal 0, we will move the constant, -2, over to the other side, isolating the x terms.

-3x^2+9x=2

Now we can factor out the -3:

-3(x^2-3x)=2

The rules for completing the square are as follows:

Take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 3. Half of 3 is 3/2, and squaring that gives you 9/4. We add into the parenthesis on the left a 9/4, but don't forget about that -3 hanging around out front that refuses to be ignored. We didn't add in just a 9/4, we added in (-3)(9/4) = -27/4:

$-3(x^2-3x+\frac{9}{4})=2-\frac{27}{4}$

In the process of completing the square we created a perfect square binomial on the left. Stating that binomial and simplifying the addition on the right gives us:

$-3(x-\frac{3}{2})^2=-\frac{19}{4}$

We can determine the axis of symmetry at this point. Because this is a positive x-squared polynomial, the axis of symmetry is in the form of (x = ) and what it equals is the h coordinate of the vertex. Our h coordinate is 3/2; therefore, the axis of symmetry has the equation x = 3/2

Answer from: Quest

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3 * 15/2 = 57 1/2

I've been working on this for a few days and i just don't understand, it's due in a few hours. you.the direction of a vector is defined as the angle of the vector in relation to a horizontal line. as a standard, this angle is measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. the direction or angle of v in the diagram is α.part a: how can you use trigonometric ratios to calculate the direction α of a general vector v = < x, y> similar to the diagram? part bsuppose that vector v lies in quadrant ii, quadrant iii, or quadrant iv. how can you use trigonometric ratios to calculate the direction (i.e., angle) of the vector in each of these quadrants with respect to the positive x-axis? the angle between the vector and the positive x-axis will be greater than 90 degrees in each case.part cnow try a numerical problem. what is the direction of the vector w = < -1, 6 > ?
