(y -3)^2 = 4y - 12
Expand.
(y-3)(y -3) = 4y - 12
y² - 6y + 9 = 4y - 12
y² - 6y -4y + 9 + 12 = 0
y² - 10y + 21 = 0
Factors are -7y and - 3y
y² - 10y + 21 = 0
y² - 3y - 7y + 21 = 0
y(y - 3) -7(y - 3) = 0
(y - 3)(y - 7) = 0
y-3 = 0 or y - 7 = 0
y = 0 + 3 or y = 0 + 7
y = 3 or 7
$500 x 0.85 = 425
$425 x 0.85 = 361.25
$361.25 x 0.85 = 307.10
$307.1 x 0.85 = 261
$261 x 0.85 = 221.85
Answer:
Simplified it is
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercepts of a parabola form the factors of the equation. Since the x -intercepts are (-2,0) and (4,0) then the factors are (x+2) and (x-4). Factors are pieces which multiply to make the equation.
This is the standard form of the parabola . Since the y-intercept of the parabola is (0,4) then a number must also be multiplied to it
We find a by plugging in x=0 and y=4.
So the equation is .
When simplified it is
