Equation B is written in vertex form, which means you can read the vertex (extreme value) from the numbers in the equation.
Vertex form is
y = a(x -h)² + k
where the vertex (extreme point) is (h, k). Whether that is a maximum or a minimum depends on the sign of "a". When "a" is negative, the graph is a parabola that opens downward, so the vertex is a maximum.
Equation
B reveals its extreme value without needing to be altered.
The extreme value of this equation is a
maximum at the point
(2, 5).
Answer:
= 3n + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence is arithmetic with explicit formula
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
From the recursive formula
a₁ = 6 and d = 3 [ the constant being added to A(n - 1) ] , then
= 6 + 3(n - 1) = 6 + 3n - 3 = 3n + 3
A) profit/original price x100 =percentage profit
(Profit: 360-300=$60)
=60/300 x100
=20%
b) two cameras (original price): 300x2= $600
two cameras (price sold): 360x2 = $720
Profit without discount: 720-600= $120
120-100= $20 discount
20/720 x100 =2.78%
Answer:
(a) B
(b) $2
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Let's say the cost of a ticket is t and the cost of popcorn is p. Then we can write the two equations from the table:
12t + 8p = 184
9t + 6p = 138
We need to solve this, so let's use elimination. Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 4:
3 * (12t + 8p = 184)
4 * (9t + 6p = 138)
We get:
36t + 24p = 552
36t + 24p = 552
Subtract the second from the first:
36t + 24p = 552
- 36t + 24p = 552
________________
0 = 0
Since we get down to 0 = 0, which is always true, we know that we cannot determine the cost of each ticket because there is more than one solution (infinitely many, actually). The answer is B.
(b) Our equation from this, if we still use t and p, is:
5t + 4p = 82
Now, just choose any of the two equations from above. Let's just pick 9t + 6p = 138. Now, we have the system:
5t + 4p = 82
9t + 6p = 138
To solve, let's use elimination again. Multiply the first equation by 6 and the second one by 4:
6 * (5t + 4p = 82)
4 * (9t + 6p = 138)
We get:
30t + 24p = 492
36t + 24p = 552
Subtract the second from the first:
36t + 24p = 552
- 30t + 24p = 492
________________
6t + 0p = 60
So, t = 60/6 = $10. Plug this back into any of the equations to solve for p:
5t + 4p = 82
5 * 10 + 4p = 82
50 + 4p = 82
4p = 32
p = 32/4 = $8
So the ticket costs 10 - 8 = $2 more dollars than the popcorn.
18 times .031 is .558
18 dollars minus .558 cents is 17.442
Answer is he was maki 17.442 dollars before the increase
