Answer:
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
<u>Algebra I</u>
- Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0
- Quadratic Formula:
<u>Algebra II</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define function</u>
f(x) = -x² - 6x - 14
<u>Step 2: Set up</u>
- Set equation equal to 0: -x² - 6x - 14 = 0
- Factor out -1: -(x² + 6x + 14) = 0
- Divide both sides by -1: x² + 6x + 14 = 0
<u>Step 3: Define variables</u>
a = 1
b = 6
c = 14
<u>Step 4: Find roots</u>
- Substitute:

Amount of tip she gave,
Amount of tax given :
So, total amount she paid is :
Total = Actual cost + Tip + Tax
Total = $(15 + 3 + 1.35 )
Total = $19.35 .
Therefore, total amount she paid is $19.35 .
Hence, this is the required solution.
