Because this is a positive parabola, it opens upwards, like a cup, and the vertex dictates what the minimum value of the function is. In order to determine the vertex, I recommend completing the square. Do that by first setting the function equal to 0 and then moving the 9 to the other side by subtraction. So far:

. Now, to complete the square, take half the linear term, square it, and add that number to both sides. Our linear term is 6. Half of 6 is 3 and 3 squared is 9. So add 9 to both sides.

. The right side reduces to 0, and the left side simplifies to the perfect square binomial we created while completing this process.

. Move the 0 back over and the vertex is clear now. It is (-3, 0). Therefore, 0 is the minimum point on your graph. The first choice above is the one you want.
First take the original price and multiple by 1/4 or .25. You should get 4.73 then you subtract that from 18.95 and your answer is 14.22
Answer:
ntersecting lines DA and CE.
To find:
Each pair of adjacent angles and vertical angles.
Solution:
Adjacent angles are in the same straight line.
Pair of adjacent angles:
(1) ∠EBD and ∠DBC
(2) ∠DBC and ∠CBA
(3) ∠CBA and ∠ABE
(4) ∠ABE and ∠EBD
Vertical angles are opposite angles in the same vertex.
Pair of vertical angles:
(1) ∠EBD and ∠CBA
(2) ∠DBC and ∠EBA
Answer: y = -2x + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of their slope = -1, that is , if
is the slope of the first line and
is the slope of the second line , if the two lines are perpendicular , then 
= -1
The equation of the line given :
y = 1/2x - 1
comparing with the equation of line in slope intercept form
y = mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept , it implies that
= 1/2
Therefore :
= -2
To find the equation of the line with slope -2 and passes through the point ( 3 , 4 ) we will use the formula
= m (
)
y - 4 = -2 ( x - 3 )
y - 4 = -2x + 6
y = -2x + 6 + 4
y = -2x + 10
Solution: The total cost of the gift including the tax = $55.80
The amount paid by Montel = $14
The amount paid by Raymond is

Therefore, Raymond paid $18.6
The amount paid by Emily is
25% of 55.80

Therefore, Emily paid $13.95
We also know that the remaining amount is paid by Leanne.
Therefore, the remaining amount is:
Total amount - Amount paid by Montel, Raymond and Emily



The amount paid by Leanne is $9.25
We clearly see, Raymond has paid $18.6, which is the greatest part of the cost $55.80
