B, divide it’s coordinates in half. -5/2 and -1/2.
Answer:
Option 1:
He starts with $10, and for each week, we add $100
Then his balance as a function of weeks will be:
f(w) = $10 + $100*w
option 2.
Again, we start with $10, and for each week that passes this is doubled, then the equation will be:
g(w) = $10*(2)^w
Now, we want in week w = 7 to have at least $700, then we need to replace w by 7 in both equations and see which one is better.
option 1:
f(7) = $10 + $100*7 = $710
With option 1 he will have enough
option 2:
g(7) = $10*(2)^7 = $1280
Again, he will have more than $700 in week 7, and we can clearly see that this option is better.
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The given function is

Let us split the middle term to get,

We factor to obtain,


Let us find the zeros of f(x),

Either


We need to find the x-value of the vertex, which is the midpoint of the x-intercepts.
This gives us,

Hence the axis of symmetry of the parabola has equation,

Since the given function has minimum turning point, it will decrease and then increase.
The function will be increasing for

The function will be increasing and positive for
1/3 if you have a positive and a negative, it will turn into a positive so 11/12-7/12
