The squared variable is the "x", therefore is a vertical parabola so its axis of symmetry will come from the vertex's x-coordinate.

now, let's find the vertex of it.

\bf \textit{vertex of a vertical parabola, using coefficients}
\\\\
y=\stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{-2}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{-8}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{-15}
\qquad \qquad 
\left(-\cfrac{ b}{2 a}~~~~ ,~~~~  c-\cfrac{ b^2}{4 a}\right)
\\\\\\
\left( -\cfrac{-8}{2(-2)}~~,~~\qquad \quad \right)\implies \left( -2~~,~~\qquad  \right)
\\\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{axis of symmetry}}{x=-2}

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

8% is also 8/100. This would be true for all percents 0 to 100%. If it were 42% it can be written as 42/100.

So, 8% is 8/100. If you want to find 8/100 of 50 multiply them.

8/100 * 50/1 = (8*50) /100

400/100 = 4

Alpha printing will make 400 brochures for $100. Omega printing will make 1,000 brochures for $100. How much money will you save
Dmitriy789 [7]

it is given in the question that

Alpha printing will make 400 brochures for $100. Omega printing will make 1,000 brochures for $100.

For Alpha, cost of 1 brochure is

= \frac{100}{400} = $0.25

For Omega,

Cost of 1 brochure is

= \frac{100}{1000} = 0.10

So choosing Omega printing, you will save

= 0.25-0.10 = $0.15

on each brochure .
