Since the parabola is connecting the points, it means that the points given are on the parabola or that the points are solutions of the parabola. Thus, when we substitute the points into the function, we should end up with the correct y-value.


To find the correct choice, let's test a point. An easy point to test I believe would be (-3, 0) because we should be getting 0 as a y-value. Let's test:

A. (- 3 - 3)(3 + 4) = -42

B. (-3 + 3)(-3 - 4) = 0

C. (-3 + 2)(-3 - 4) = 7

D. (-3)(-3 + 12) = -27


We can see that Choice B is the correct function, because it produces 0 when we substitute x = - 3. Thus, Choice B, or (x + 3)(x - 4) is the answer.

Answer:

$560.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent Tony's average daily balance. The finance charge is computed from ...

... finance charge = 2.25% × b

We can fill in the given value and divide by the coefficient of b.

... $12.60 = 0.0225b

... $12.60/0.0225 = b = $560.00

Tony's average daily balance was $560.00.

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic charged S95 per hour, and the second mechanic charged $115 per hour.
natima [27]

Answer:

First mechanic worked for 10 hours and second mechanic worked for 15 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first mechanic worked for X hours and second mechanic worked for Y hours .

Now, according to the question , they worked for a total of 25 hours .

Thus ,

X + Y = 25.

Y = 25 - X   -(1)

Also, first mechanic is charging $ 95 per hour and second mechanic is charging $115 per hour .

Thus, total money charged by them will be 95X + 115Y .

Which is given to be $2675 in the question.

Thus 95X + 115Y = 2675.   -(2)

Putting equation 1 in equation 2 we get ,

95X + 2875 - 115X = 2675

20X = 200

X = 10 hours.

Thus , Y =  25 - X = 15 hours.

Thus first mechanic worked for 10 hours and second mechanic worked for 15 hours.
