How would you do these?

y=2xsquared




y=2xsquared + 12x - 14

y=2x^2
y = ax^2 + bx + c is the parabola
y = 2x^2+0x+0
x-coordinate of vertex is -b/2a
= -(0) / (2)(2)
= -0 / (2)(2) = 0
y coordinate of the vertex:
y = ax^2+bx+c
y = 2(0)^2+0(0)+0
0+0+0 = 0
Vertex : ( 0 , 0 )
-----------------------------------------------------

y=2xsquared + 12x - 14
y = ax^2 + bx + c is the parabola
y = 2x^2+12x-14
x-coordinate of vertex is -b/2a
= -(12) / (2)(2)
= -12 / (2)(2) = -3
y coordinate of the vertex:
y = ax^2+bx+c
y = 2(-3)^2+12(-3)-14
18-36-14 = -32
Vertex : ( -3 , -32 )
----------------------------------------------

To graph the equation, choose x=-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5
evauate y=2x^2+12x-14 and graph.

A serious new warning has been established for pregnant women against taking ACE inhibitors during pregnancy. In the study, the risk of major birth defects in children whose mothers took ACE inhibitors during the first trimester was nearly three times higher than in children whose mothers didn't take ACE inhibitors. Physicians can prescribe alternative medications for pregnant women who have symptoms of high blood pressure.

In most cases, kidneys can recover from almost complete loss of function, such as in acute kidney (renal) failure.

Did you know?

Fungal nail infections account for up to 30% of all skin infections. They affect 5% of the general population—mostly people over the age of 70.

Did you know?

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

Did you know?

Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis syndrome are life-threatening reactions that can result in death. Complications include permanent blindness, dry-eye syndrome, lung damage, photophobia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, permanent loss of nail beds, scarring of mucous membranes, arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Many patients' pores scar shut, causing them to retain heat.
