Algebra.Com's Answer #349594 by lwsshak3(11628)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I need to graph this and I don't know how. X^2 + 100 = 27x I need at least four points. \n" ); document.write( "** \n" ); document.write( "rewrite equation: \n" ); document.write( "y=x^2-27x+100 \n" ); document.write( "complete the square: \n" ); document.write( "y=(x^2-27x+182.25)+100-182.25 \n" ); document.write( "y=(x-13.5)^2-82.25) \n" ); document.write( "This is an equation of a parabola of the standard form: y=(x-h)^2+k, with (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the vertex. \n" ); document.write( "For given equation: \n" ); document.write( "vertex: (13.5,-82.25) \n" ); document.write( "so, now you have one point for a graph \n" ); document.write( ".. \n" ); document.write( "Finding x-intercepts: \n" ); document.write( "set y=0 \n" ); document.write( "(x-13.5)^2-82.25=0 \n" ); document.write( "(x-13.5)^2=82.25 \n" ); document.write( "take sqrt of both sides \n" ); document.write( "x-13.5=±√(82.25)≈±9.069 \n" ); document.write( "x≈13.5±9.069 \n" ); document.write( "x≈22.57 \n" ); document.write( "or \n" ); document.write( "x≈4.43 \n" ); document.write( "You have the following 3 points with which you can draw the graph: \n" ); document.write( "(13.5,-82.25) (vertex) \n" ); document.write( "(22.57,0) x-intercept \n" ); document.write( "(4.43,0) x-intercept \n" ); document.write( "You should be able to draw a good graph with these three points, but if you need more, plug in convenient x-values into the first equation listed above. \n" ); document.write( " |
