To simplify the expression:
-(6 x^3 - 2 x + 3) - 3 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 4 x - 7
Start with - (6 x^3 - 2 x + 3) = -6 x^3 + 2 x - 3:
-6 x^3 + 2 x - 3 - 3 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 4 x - 7
Next, combine similar terms: -3 x^3 - 6 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 4 x + 2 x - 7 - 3 = (-3 x^3 - 6 x^3) + 5 x^2 + (4 x + 2 x) + (-7 - 3):
(-3 x^3 - 6 x^3) + 5 x^2 + (4 x + 2 x) + (-7 - 3)
-3 x^3 - 6 x^3 results in -9 x^3:
-9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + (4 x + 2 x) + (-7 - 3)
Combine 4 x and 2 x to get 6 x:
-9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 6 x + (-7 - 3)
The operation -7 - 3 yields -10:
-9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 6 x - 10
Factoring out -1 from -9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 6 x - 10 leads to:
Final Answer: - (9 x^3 - 5 x^2 - 6 x + 10)
The equation is:
f(x) = 2x² - 44x + 185
f(x) = 2(x² - 22x + 121 - 121) + 185 =
= 2(x² - 22x + 121) - 242 + 185 =
= 2(x - 11)² - 57
Conclusion:
The vertex is located at (11, -57) and the vertex form is: f(x) = 2(x - 11)² - 57
Since m∠abe = 2b, and angle abe consists of angles abf and ebf, we can write:
m∠abe = m∠abf + m∠ebf
To find m∠ebf, rearrange:
m∠ebf = m∠abe - m∠abf
Substitute the given expressions:
m∠ebf = 2b - (7b - 24)
Simplify:
m∠ebf = 2b - 7b + 24
m∠ebf = -5b + 24.
