Answer:

  • drink cost: $1.75
  • slice of pizza cost: $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d and p represent the costs of a drink and a pizza slice, respectively. The two orders have a value ...

  d + 3p = 8.50

  2d + 2p = 8.00

Subtracting the second equation from twice the first gives ...

  2(d +3p) -(2d +2p) = 2(8.50) -(8.00)

  4p = 9.00 . . . . . simplify

  p = 2.25 . . . . . . divide by 4

Solving the first equation for d and putting in the value, we have

  d = 8.50 -3p = 8.50 -3·2.25 = 8.50 -6.75

  d = 1.75

The cost of a drink is $1.75; the cost of a pizza slice is $2.25.

What is the vertex of the quadratic function f(x)=(x-8)(x-2)?
7nadin3 [17]
Change the function into vertex form:
f(x)=x²-10x+16
make a square by (adding half of -10)², which is 25, then subtract it:
f(x)=x²-10x+25-25+16
f(x)=(x-5)²-9
so the vertex is at (5,-9)

another way to do it: 
f(x)=x²-10x+16
the vertex is when x=-\frac{b}{2a}, b=-10, a=1 in this case.
x=-(-10/2*1)=5
plug x=5 into the quadratic function, you get f(x)=-9

kicyunya [14]
Just take any two points from the graph. For example (4, -2) , (0, -3)                   Slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = -2-(-3) / 4-0 = 1/4
