Answer:
To find the x-intercepts we can write:
0 = -1/2(x + 3)² + 4
0 = -1/2(x² + 6x + 9) + 4
0 = -1/2x² - 3x - 9/2 + 4
0 = -1/2x² - 3x - 1/2
0 = x² + 6x + 1
x = -3 ± 2√2 (use quadratic formula)
As a decimal this can be written as x = -5.83, x = -0.17.
The equation that passes through these points is x = 4
Since he sold it for $75 more,
% Mark Up = Mark Up/ Cost Price x 100%
% Mark Up = 75 / 125 x 100% = 0.6 x 100% = 60%
Percent Mark Up = 60%
Hope this helps :)
