A quadratic function has the form
y = ax^2 + bx + c
Use point (3, 5) in the equation above:
5 = a(3^2) + 3b + c
5 = 9a + 3b + c
9a + 3b + c = 5 Equation 1
Use point (4, 3) in the equation above:
3 = a(4^2) + 4b + c
16a + 4b + c = 3 Equation 2
Use point (5, 3) in the equation above.
5 = a(5^2) + 5b + c
25a + 5b + c = 5 Equation 3.
Now solve the system of equations of equations 1, 2, and 3 to find the coefficients, a, b, and c.
9a + 3b + c = 5
16a + 4b + c = 3
25a + 5b + c = 5
Subtract the first equation from the second equation.
Subtract the second equation from the third equation.
You get
7a + b = -2
9a + b = 2
Subtract the first equation above from the second equation to get.
2a = 4
a = 2
Substitute:
7a + b = -2
7(2) + b = -2
b = -16
9a + 3b + c = 5
9(2) + 3(-16) + c = 5
18 - 48 + c = 5
c - 30 = 5
c = 35
The equation in standard form is
y = 2x^2 - 16x + 35
We can find it in vertex form:
y = 2(x^2 - 8x) + 35
y = 2(x^2 - 8x + 16) + 35 - 32
y = 2(x - 4)^2 + 3
x= 55°
according to the picture .........
You use rise over run. So you first count the rise( how many upwards is the point) then count the run( how many to the right or left is the point)
Since the price is now 15% less you would first find what 15% of 25 is by using 25*.15 and get 3.25 then you subtract that from 25 and get 25-3.25= $21.75
