You have the correct axis of symmetry value. Nice work.
Plug that x value into the equation to get...
y = -2x^2 - 12x - 10
y = -2*(-3)^2 - 12*(-3) - 10 <<-- replace every x with -3; then use PEMDAS
y = -2*(9) - 12*(-3) - 10
y = -18 + 36 - 10
y = 18 - 10
y = 8
The vertex is the ordered pair (-3, 8)
Note: the axis of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex
Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
First combine like terms:
4x-8=32+9x
-40=5x
-8=x
Answer:
Cash price
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The Interest rate per month (r) = (9% ÷ 12) = 0.75%
Now Present value of the monthly payment is
= PMT × {[(1 + rate of interest)^number of years - 1] ÷ rate of interest}
= 1,499 × {[(1 + 0.75%)^12 - 1] ÷ 0.75%}
= 18,748.89
And the cash price is 15,999
So, the cash price would be lower
