Hello,
Equation is y=k(x-1)²-9
and when x=0,y=-6==>-6=k*1²-9==>k=3
y=3(x-1)²-9
when y=0, 3(x-1)²-9=0
==>(x-1-√3)(x-1+√3)=0
x-intercepts are (1+√3,0) and (1-√3,0)
Answer B.
Notice that if you go forward, the common ratio is 5. Each new term is found by mult. the previous term by 5.
If, on the other hand, you go backwards (terms decreasing), then you divide a term to find what the previous term was.
Here, divide 1 by 5 to find the first term. It's 1/5.
Answer:
12 million dollars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sales in the first year be x million .
So the sales in the second year were x + 4 million, in the third year were 3(x + 4) and this is 48 million dollars.
So we have the equation 3(x + 4) = 48
3x + 12 = 48
3x = 36
x = 12 million dollars.
