Answer:
The time now is 7 pm
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose that now is the time T.
We know that:
"if time is four hours from now, the time left till midnight would be a quarter that if it is one hour from now".
Then:
if we define midnight as 12, and we assume that T is in the pm range.
Then the "time left till midnigth, assuming that the time is four hours from now" will be written as (12 - (T + 4))
With this in mind, we can write the problem as:
12 - (T + 4) = (1/4)*( 12 - (T + 1))
Now we can solve this for T.
12 - T - 4 = (1/4)*(12 - T - 1)
8 - T = (1/4)*(11 - T)
4*(8 - T) = 11 - T
32 - 4*T = 11 - T
32 - 11 = -T + 4*T
21 = 3*T
21/3 = T
7 = T
Then T = 7 pm
The time now is 7 pm
Y = x^2 + 2x - 1 = x^2 + 2x + 1 - 1 - 1 = (x + 1)^2 - 2
The vertex of a parabola given by y = a(x - h)^2 + k is (h, k).
Therefore, the vertex of y = (x + 1)^2 - 2 is (-1, -2)
Hi there! $8 per 4 bottles means price/# of bottles will give you the average price per bottle.
8/4=$2
Therefore it is $2 for 1 bottle.
Hope this helps!
