Answer:

$260

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual price + 8% of actual price=$280.80

Let x= actual price

8% of actual price=8/100 of x

=0.08x

x + 0.08x=$280.80

1.08x=$280.80

x=$280.80/1.08

x=$260

Price of the jacket before sales tax=$260

Check:

8% sales tax of $260

=8% of $260

=8/100×$260

=0.08×$260

=$20.8

Purchasing price= actual price+ sales tax

=$260+$20.8

=$280.80

Does the quadratic have a maximum or minimum
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

B)max/ opens down

Step-by-step explanation:

Parabola equation:

The equation of a parabola has the following format:

y = ax^2 + bx + c

If a > 0, that is, x² is multiplied by a positive number, the function has a minimum value and the parabola opens up.

If a < 0, that is, x² is multiplied by a negative number, the function has a maximum value and the parabola opens down.

In this question:

y = -x^2 - 2x + 3

From the graph, we already see that it opens down and has a max, and analitically, since a = -1 < 0, this is confirmed. The correct answer is given by option b.
