Pam bought several cartons of Giggle Fruit Drinks to sell during the track meet. She paid 50 cents per carton. She sold all but

15 of the cartons for $1 each. At the end of the day, her profit was $22.50. How many cartons of Giggle did she buy?

Good evening

Answer:

<h2>75</h2><h2 />

Step-by-step

let c be the total number of cartoons

Cost of purchase = 50c

total sale price = 100(c-15)

profit = total sale price - cost of purchase

= 100(c-15) - 50c = 2250 cents

Then (100c-50c) - 1500 = 2250

then 50c = 3750

Then c = 3750/50 = 75

Graph f(x) =-2x^+16x-30 by factoring to find the solutions, then find the coordinates of the vertex, and the axis of symmetry. I

fredd [130]

Answer:

<em>Observe attached image</em>

<em>Function zeros:</em>

(3, 0), (5, 0)

<em>Vertex:</em>

(4, 2)

<em>Axis of symmetry:</em>

<em> $x =4$ </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First factorize the function</u>

$f (x) = -2x ^ 2 + 16x-30$

<em>Take -2 as a common factor.</em>

$-2(x ^ 2 -8x +15)$

<em>Now factor the expression $x ^ 2 -8x +15$ </em>

You must find two numbers that when you add them, obtain the result -8 and multiplying those numbers results in 15.

These numbers are -5 and -3

Then we can factor the expression in the following way:

$f (x) = -2(x-5)(x-3)$

<em><u>The quadratic function cuts the x-axis at </u></em><em>x = 3 and at x = 5.</em>

Now we find the coordinates of the vertex.

For a function of the form $ax ^ 2 + bx + c$ the x coordinate of its vertex is:

$x = \frac{-b}{2a}$

In the function $f (x) = -2x ^ 2 + 16x-30$

$a = -2\\b = 16\\c = 30$

<u>Then the vertice is:</u>

$x = \frac{-16}{2(-2)}\\\\x = 4$

The y coordinate of the symmetry axis is

$y = f (4) = -2 (4) ^ 2 +16 (4) -30\\\\y = 2$

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that cuts the parabola in two equal halves. This axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex.

<u>Then the axis of symmetry is the line</u>

$x = 4$

<u>The solutions and the vertice written as ordered pairs are:</u>

<em>Function zeros:</em>

(3, 0), (5, 0)

<em>Vertex:</em>

(4, 2)

Determine whether a figure with the given vertices is a rectangle using the Distance Formula.

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Yes; Opposite sides are congruent, and diagonals are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$A(4, -7), B(4, -2), C(0, -2), D(0, -7)$

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

step 1

Find the length of the sides

<u><em>Find the distance AB</em></u>

substitute the values

$d=\sqrt{(-2+7)^{2}+(4-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(5)^{2}+(0)^{2}}$

$AB=5\ units$

<u><em>Find the distance BC</em></u>

substitute the values

$d=\sqrt{(-2+2)^{2}+(0-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$BC=4\ units$

<u><em>Find the distance CD</em></u>

substitute the values

$d=\sqrt{(-7+2)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+(0)^{2}}$

$CD=5\ units$

<u><em>Find the distance AD</em></u>

substitute the values

$d=\sqrt{(-7+7)^{2}+(0-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$AD=4\ units$

Compare the length sides

AB=CD

BC=AD

therefore

Opposite sides are congruent

step 2

Find the length of the diagonals

<u><em>Find the distance AC</em></u>

substitute the values

$d=\sqrt{(-2+7)^{2}+(0-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(5)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$AC=\sqrt{41}\ units$

<u><em>Find the distance BD</em></u>

substitute the values

$d=\sqrt{(-7+2)^{2}+(0-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$BD=\sqrt{41}\ units$

Compare the length of the diagonals

AC=BD

therefore

Diagonals are congruent

The figure is a rectangle, because Opposite sides are congruent, and diagonals are congruent
