<span> first, write the equation of the parabola in the required form: </span>
<span>(y - k) = a·(x - h)² </span>

<span>Here, (h, k) is given as (-1, -16). </span>
<span>So you have: </span>
<span>(y + 16) = a · (x + 1)² </span>

<span>Unfortunately, a is not given. However, you do know one additional point on the parabola: (0, -15): </span>

<span>-15 + 16 = a· (0 + 1)² </span>
<span>.·. a = 1 </span>

<span>.·. the equation of the parabola in vertex form is </span>
<span>y + 16 = (x + 1)² </span>

<span>The x-intercepts are the values of x that make y = 0. So, let y = 0: </span>

<span>0 + 16 = (x + 1)² </span>
<span>16 = (x + 1)² </span>

<span>We are trying to solve for x, so take the square root of both sides - but be CAREFUL! </span>

<span>± 4 = x + 1 ...... remember both the positive and negative roots of 16...... </span>

<span>Solving for x: </span>
<span>x = -1 + 4, x = -1 - 4 </span>
<span>x = 3, x = -5. </span>

<span>Or, if you prefer, (3, 0), (-5, 0). </span>

A car salesman had $65,100 in total monthly sales last month. He made $1,953 in commission from those sales.
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Find out the what is the salesman's commission as a percent of his total monthly sales .

To prove

Formula

Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}

As given

A car salesman had $65,100 in total monthly sales last month. He made $1,953 in commission from those sales.

Here

Part value = $1953

Total value = $ 65100

Put in the formula

Percentage = \frac{1953\times 100}{65100}

Percentage = \frac{195300}{65100}

Percentage = 3%

Therefore the salesman's commission as a percent of his total monthly sales is 3% .

What is<br> 3% of [(-0.5) * (- :)]<br> ?
expeople1 [14]
Solution for 0.5 is what percent of 3:

0.5:3*100 =

(0.5*100):3 =

50:3 = 16.666666666667

Now we have: 0.5 is what percent of 3 = 16.666666666667

Question: 0.5 is what percent of 3?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 3 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$x​.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=3$100%=3​.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=0.5$x%=0.5​.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=3(1)$100%=3(1)​.

$x\%=0.5(2)$x%=0.5(2)​.

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{3}{0.5}$
100%
x%​=
3
0.5​​

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{0.5}{3}$
x%
100%​=
0.5
3​​

$\Rightarrow x=16.666666666667\%$⇒x=16.666666666667%​

Therefore, $0.5$0.5​ is $16.666666666667\%$16.666666666667%​ of $3$3​.
