The cost of a large flat screen tv is decreasing 20% per year.
Lemur [1.5K]
Let x be the old price

X= 1200$
The price decreased 20% after 1 year to become price y :
Y= 0.8x
= 0.8 (1200)
= 960$
In the year after y also decreased 20% to be price y’:
Y’= 0.8y
= 0.8 (960)
= 768 $
The price y’ then decreased 20% to become price y’’:
Y’’ = 0.8 y’
= 0.8 (768)
= 614.4 $
Then the price will be 614.4 $ after 3 years

Given : parabola with a vertex at (5,3).

To find : Which equation has a graph that is a parabola.

Solution : We have given vertex at (5,3).

Vertex form of parabola : y = (x -h)² + k .

Where, (h ,k )  vertex .

Plug h = 5  , k= 3 in vertex form of parabola.

Equation  :y =  (x -5)² + 3.

Examples of rates in algebra
lbvjy [14]

A rate is a special ratio in which the two terms are in different units. For example, if a 12-ounce can of corn costs 69¢, the rate is 69¢ for 12 ounces. ... When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

Some examples of rate include cost rates, (for example potatoes cost R16,95 per kg or 16,95 R/kg) and speed (for example, a car travels at 60 km/h). When we calculate rate, we divide by the second value, so we are finding the amount per one unit.
