What is the measure of arc ac? enter your answer in the box. ac is (7x-2) degrees. abc is inscribed with (2.5x + 4) degrees

The measure of arc AC  is equal to 33°

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The inscribed angle measures half that of the arc comprising

so

∠ABC=(1/2) arc AC

substitute the values

(2.5x+4)=(1/2)(7x-2)

solve for x

5x+8=7x-2

7x-5x=8+2

2x=10

x=5

Find the measure of arc AC

arc AC=(7(5)-2)=33°

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.
