Hello! So, the toy company makes blocks that cost $5 to make. Then, they mark it up by 300%, which is marking the price up by 4. 100% markup is doubling the price, 200% is tripling the price, and 300% marks the price up by 4. Then, the blocks would cost $20. After that, the price would be marked up by 150%, so that’s 2.5 times the price of the original. When you do $20 by 2.5, then the blocks cost $50. The local toy store will mark the block up by 200%, which as said before, is tripling the price. Then, you do 50 * 3, and then the price of the blocks is $150. Then, it gets marked off by 30% and 10% of 150 is 15, so 30% off 150 is 45. When you do 150 - 45, the difference is $105. Then, you take off an additional 15%, But you would still have to pay 85% of the original price. You would do 105 * 0.85, and then you would get $89.25 for the blocks. But that’s not all. You have to pay 8% sales tax for the blocks. You can find the tax by doing 89.25 * 0.08 and then adding the prices together. Or, you can do 89.25 * 1.08 to find the total price. Either way, the product should be 96.39. The total price you paid for the blocks is $96.39.

Put the following equation in standard form and determine the quadratic, linear, and constant coefficients. -3x2 - 8 = 5x - 7

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

-3x² -5x -1 = 0
-3 (quadratic)
-5 (linear)
-1 (constant)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will be in standard form when terms are listed in order of decreasing degree, and the right side of the equation is 0.

<h3>Standard form</h3>

We can subtract the right-side expression from both sides to get standard form.

-3x² -8 -(5x -7) = 5x -7 -(5x -7)

-3x² -8 -5x +7 = 0 . . . . . . . simplify a bit

-3x² -5x -1 = 0 . . . . . . . . . collect terms

The standard form equation can be written ...

-3x² -5x -1 = 0

<h3>Coefficients</h3>

The quadratic coefficient is the coefficient of the term with degree 2. The quadratic coefficient is -3.

The linear coefficient is the coefficient of the term with degree 1. The linear coefficient is -5.

The constant coefficient is the coefficient of the term with no variables. The constant is -1.

<em>Additional comment</em>

We can make the leading coefficient positive by multiplying the equation by -1. This gives ...

3x² +5x +1 = 0

with quadratic, linear, and constant coefficients 3, 5, 1.

This is a legitimate answer to this question. In the case of linear equations, the "standard form" has the constant on the right side of the equal sign, and the leading coefficient is required to be positive. A negative leading coefficient can sometimes lead to errors (when the sign is overlooked), so having a positive leading coefficient is often preferred.
