The total amount Ellen paid for the book $16.21
Hope this helps!!
I assume that the parabola in this particular problem is one whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y axis. The formula we're going to use in this case is (x-h)2=4p(y-k). We know variables h and k from the vertex (1,20) but p is not given. However, we can solve for p by substituting values x and y in the formula with the y-intercept:
(0-1)^2=4p(16-20)
Solving for p, p=-1/16.
Going back to the formula, we can finally solve for the x-intercepts. Simply fill in variables p, h and k then set y to zero:
(x-1)^2=4(-1/16)(0-20)
(x-1)^2=5
x-1=(+-)sqrt(5)
x=(+-)sqrt(5)+1
Here, we have two values of x
x=sqrt(5)+1 and
x=-sqrt(5)+1
thus, the answers are: (sqrt(5)+1,0) and (-sqrt(5)+1,0).
Answer:
(i think) 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
If you replace y with the equation y=2x-3, you get 5(2x - 3)
if you distribute this, it equals 10x - 15
combining like terms 10x + 10x - 15=15 will turn into 20x - 15 = 15
if you add 15 to both sides, -15 will cancel and 15 will turn into 30
20x = 30
divide both sides by 20 which will lead to x=1.5
