5x-3=42. To solve you add three to both sides making the equation 5x=45. Then you divide both sides by five, and you get 9 as your answer.
<u>Part A</u>
<u />
<u>Part B</u>
The vertex of the graph will be a maximum because the leading coefficient is negative.
The x coordinate of the vertex is .
When x=15/8, .
So, the vertex has coordinates
<u>Part C</u>
Plot the two x-intercepts and the vertex and then draw a curve in the shape of a parabola passing through them.
The graph is in the attached image.
