Coordinates A and B: (1, 0) and (3, 0)

Coordinates of P: (0, 3)

Coordinates of Q: (2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

You're pretty much given the x-intercepts from the original equation.

y = (x - 1)(x - 3). So to get the x-intercepts (points A and B), y has to equal 0. So,

0 = (x - 1)(x - 3).

and y = 0 when x equals 1 and 3. Because anything multiplied by 0 equals 0. So substituting 1 for the value of x, for example, we get:

0 = (1 - 1)(1 - 3)

0 = 0 * (-2)

So there are your x-intercepts, points A and B.

Now,

Expand the brackets of the equation.

y = (x - 1)(x - 3) becomes

y = x^2  -  4x  + 3

You get the y-intercept (point P) by substituting 0 for the value of x. Doing so gives:

y = 0^2 - 4*0 + 3

y = 0 - 0 + 3

y = 3

So, we have our y-intercept (0, 3).

Point Q, the x-coordinate of the vertex is calculated with the equation -b/2a

Taking our expanded equation: x^2 - 4x + 3

which is of the form ax^2 + bx + c

So we find the values of a, b and c and input the values into the equation

a = 1

b = -4

c = 3

So, inputting these into the vertex equation, gives:

-(-4) / 2 * 1

4 / 2

2

So we have the x-coordinate of the vertex. Now that we know that, we can just substitute it into the expanded equation to give the y-coordinate:

y = 2^2 - 4*2 + 3

y = 4 - 8 + 3

y = -1

So there's our y-coordinate, and now we have both the x and y coordinate for the vertex, point Q. (2, -1).

the value of v.w= -12.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given three vector r,v and w as:

r = < 5, -5, -2> ; v = < 2, -8, -8> ; w = < -2, 6, -5>

we know that r,v and w could also be represented as:

r=5i-5j-2k

v=2i-8j-8k

and w= -2i+6j-5k

where i,j and k are the unit vectors of x,y and z-axis respectively.

also we know that it has the following property:

i.i=1 ; j.j=1; k.k=1

and i.=j.i=i.k=k.i=j.k=k.j=0

i.e. when we multiply two vectors or we find it's dot product we need to only multiply the components of x coordinates with each other; y with each other and z with each other.

hence, v.w= (2i-8j- -2i+6j-5k)

                  = 2×(-2)+(-8)×(6)+(-8)×(-5)

                  = -4-48+40

                  = -12

hence, v.w= -12
