To find it, evaluate it at the endpoints and the vertex
in form
f(x)=ax²+bx+c
the x value of the vertex is -b/2a
given
c(t)=1t²-10t+76
x value of vertex is -(-10)/1=10
evaluate c(0) and c(13) and c(10)
c(0)=76
c(13)=115
c(10)=76
it reached minimum in 2000 and 2010
porbably teacher wants 2010
the min value is $76
154.35 - 10.37 = 143.98
143.98 - 27.83 = 116.15
10.37 = 116.15x
x = 0.0893
Change x to percent form to get 8.93% tax rate.
12 - b = -2
12 + 2 = b
14 = b
To find the decimal form, you have to manually divide 1 by 8. Since 8 is greater than 1, the quotient would then start with 0., then you add a 0 next to 1, to make it 10. This time, divide 10 by 8. The nearest answer would be 1, because 1 *8 = 8. Subtracting this from 10, you get 2. Add another 0 to 2, to make it 20. Do the cycle all over again. The complete solution is as follows:
0.125
---------------------------
8 | 10
- 8
------------------------
20
-16
-------------
40
- 40
-------------
0
<em>Hence, the decimal form of 1/8 is 0.125.</em>
