S1 = 72
S2 = 12 = 72*(1/6)
S3 = 2 = 72*(1/6)^2
.

.
S15 = 72*(1/6)^14 = 9.18*10^(-10)

At the movies, you order 3 boxes of popcorn and a bottle of water. The cost of the bottle of water is $1.75. Your total cost is

anastassius [24]

X=cost of one box of popcorn.
we can suggest this equation:

3x+1.75=9.25

3x=9.25-1.75
3x=7.5
x=7.5/3
x=2.5

Answer: the equation to find the cost of one box of popcorn is 3x+1.75=9.25, and the cost of one box of popcorn is $2.5.

Determine whether f(x) = –5x^2 – 10x + 6 has a maximum or a minimum value.

Blizzard [7]

First,

We are dealing with parabola since the equation has a form of,

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

Here the vertex of an up - down facing parabola has a form of,

$x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}$

The parameters we have are,

$a=-5,b=-10, c=6$

Plug them in vertex formula,

$x_v=-\dfrac{-10}{2(-5)}=-1$

Plug in the $x_v$ into the equation,

$y_v=-5(-1)^2-10(-1)+6=11$

We now got a point parabola vertex with coordinates,

$(x_v, y_v)\Longrightarrow(-1,11)$

From here we emerge two rules:

If $a$ then vertex is max value
If $a>0$ then vertex is min value

So our vertex is minimum value since,

$a=-5\Longleftrightarrow a$

Hope this helps.
