The following graph represents the hourly commission of a home appliance salesperson, y, based on the number of salespeople that

are
working the showroom floor, x. The graph of the hourly commission of the salesperson is a quadratic function. What is the equation for
the function in standard form if the vertex is 6.5,42.25 and the origin is the only other known point?

We have been given graph of a downward opening parabola with vertex at point (6.5,42.25). We are asked to write equation of the parabola in standard form.

We know that equation of parabola in standard form is f(x)=ax^2+bx+c.

We will write our equation in vertex form and then convert it into standard form.

Vertex for of parabola is y=a(x-h)^2+k, where point (h,k) represents vertex of parabola and a represents leading coefficient.

Since our parabola is downward opening so leading coefficient will be negative.

Upon substituting coordinates of vertex and point (0,0) in vertex form, we will get:

0=-a(0-6.5)^2+42.25

0=-a(42.25)+42.25

-42.25=-a(42.25)+42.25-42.25

-42.25=-42.25a

a=1 Divide both sides by -42.25

So our equation in vertex form would be f(x)=-(x-6.5)^2+42.25.

Let us convert it in standard from.

f(x)=-(x^2-13x+42.25)+42.25

f(x)=-x^2+13x-42.25+42.25

f(x)=-x^2+13x

Therefore, the equation of function is standard form would be f(x)=-x^2+13x.

7. Which dimensions result in the minimum perimeter for a rectangle with area 42.0 cm2?
natali 33 [55]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  7. d. l = 6.48 cm, w = 6.48 cm

  8. d. square

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given area, the perimeter can always be shortened by reducing the length of the long side and increasing the length of the short side. When you get to the point where you can't do that, then you have the minimum perimeter. You will reach that point when the sides are the same length: the rectangle is a square.

__

7. In light of the above, the best dimensions are √42 ≈ 6.48 cm for length and width.

__

8. In light of the above, the shape is a square.

_____

The attached graph shows the length of one side (x) and the associated perimeter. The other side is 42/x, which will also be 6.48.
