How can variables and mayhem expressions be used to show different ways of a pattern?

A variable is a letter or symbol, such as a, b, or x, that represents a number. An algebraic expression is a combination of one or more variables; it may include numbers and operation signs. For example, 2 d 5 is an algebraic expression that could represent two times the figure number plus five.

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.

hope this

this was already solved by me with a different person. if you look it up in the search bar at the top of the page, you will get the answer.
