Write down the coordinates of the turning point of the graph y = x^2 – 8x + 25

First, for this graph dy/dx = 2x-8. At a turning point of any graph, dy/dx=0. Therefore 2x-8=0. x=4. Plug x value back into original graph formula : (4)^2 - 8(4) + 25 = 9. Therefore y=9. Coordinates : (4,...

The perimeter of a right-angled triangle is 72 cm. The lengths of its sides are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5 Work out the area of the triangle.

Let x be a number so that the sides of the triangle are 3x, 4x and 5x, because the ratio is 3 : 4 : 5. The perimeter is 3x+4x+5x=12x=72, meaning that x = 72/12 = 6. The sides of the triangle are 36=18...
