The x intercept occurs when y = 0.
0=(x+2)^2 - 1
1=(x+2)^2
Take the square root of both sides. Note that the sqrt of 1 is 1. Then solve for x.
1=x+2
-1=x
The x intercept is -1.
The y intercept occurs when x=0.
y=(0+2)^2 - 1
y=2^2 -1
y=4-1
y=3
The y intercept is 3.
Now, to find the vertex...
This parabola is currently in a format called the vertex form, which is:
f(x) = (x-h)^2 + k
where (h, k) is the vertex.
Therefore, the vertex is (-2, -1).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say c is the price of cinnamon tea, and s is the price of spice tea.
10c + 2s = 13
16c + 8s = 28
Divide the second equation by 4:
4c + 2s = 7
Subtract from the first equation:
6c = 6
c = 1
Use any equation to find s.
s = 1.5
Therefore, the cinnamon tea costs $1 per pound and the spice tea costs $1.50 per pound.
