Hi friends,
My stepdaughter came to me today explaining a sum she got in the exam. I believe I have understood her right, so here is the problem....I did some of it..
f(x)=a(x+2)2+c
g(x)=(2x+5)(x+b)
Nothing else is given. Calculate a, b and c. Apparently both equations point to the one and same parabola.
So I said:
The axis of simmetry lies on x=−2
The x intercepts are x=−52 and x=−b
Now since the one x intercept lies on -2.5, and the axis of simmetry is on the x=-2, it tells me the other x intercept has to be -1.5
So, b=1.5
From here I'm stuck. Please help me with this...as usual, all help is greatly appreciated!
