Answer:

a. Vertex = (2.5,-12.25)

b. y-intercept = (0,-6)

c. x-intercept = (6,0) ; (-1,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Your equation is written as:

y = ax^{2} + bx +c

The easiest way to find the vertex is writing the equation this way:

y = a(x-h)^{2}+k

Being the vertex (h,k)

So first complete the square

y = x^{2} -5x -6 \\y = x^{2} - 2(2.5x) -6 \\y = x^{2} - 2(2.5x) +2.5^{2} - 2.5^{2} -6 \\y = (x^{2} -2(2.5x) + 2.5^{2}) -6.25 - 6 \\y = (x-2.5)^{2} -12.25

Vertex : (2.5,-12.25)

b.

To find the y-intercept you need to replace the equation when x = 0 and get y

y = (0)^{2} - 5(0) -6\\y = - 6

c.

To find the x-intercept you need to replace the equation when y = 0 and get x

0 = x^{2} - 5x -6 \\0 = (x-6)(x+1)\\x = 6\\x = -1

babymother [125]

Answer:

V = 301 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by

V =1/3 pi r^2 h

We know pi = 3.14 r =6 and

We need to determine h

We can find h from the Pythagorean theorem where 6 is a leg and 10 is the hypotenuse

h^2 +6^2 = 10^2

h^2 +36 = 100

h^2 = 64

Taking the square root of each side

h = 8

V =1/3 pi r^2 h

V = 1/3 (3.14) (6)^2 * 8

V = 301.44 ft^3

Rounding to the nearest cubic foot

V = 301 ft^3

A consumer survey conducted in two consecutive years determined that a fixed baskets of goods and services cost $95.00 in year 1
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

1.315%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Prices:

Year 1 =old price =$95

Year 2 = new price = $96.25

The inflation rate is the difference in price between two Given period :

Inflation rate :

(Change in price / old price) * 100%

((New price - old price) / old price) * 100%

((96.25 - 95) / 96) * 100%

= (1.25 / 95) * 100%

= 0.0131578 * 100%

= 1.315%
