The question is incomplete:

Noah pays $25.20 for non perishable food items to give to the local homeless shelter the price includes a 5% sales of tax. what is the price before tax of the food items?

Answer:

$24

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information you have that the price of items is $25.20 and it includes a 5% tax. From this, you can write the following:

x+0.05x=25.20

Then, you can isolate x to find the price before tax:

1.05x=25.20

x=25.20/1.05

x= 24

According to this, the price before tax of the food items is $24.

Write a linear function f with f(−9)=10 and f(−1)=−2

pashok25 [27]

First we need to find the slope of the function

The slope of a function is equal to

$\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}$

So now we plug this into the equation and find the slope (M will represent the slope)

$m=\frac{10--2}{-9--1}\\m=\frac{12}{-8}\\m=-\frac{3}{2}$

So the slope is -3/2

Now we can use point-slope form.

Point slope form is represented by

$Y-Y_1=m(X-X_1)$

So when we plug in our values we get

$Y--2=-3/2(X--1)\\Y+2 = -3/2(X+1)\\Y+2 = -3/2X-3/2\\Y=-3/2X-7/2$

So the equation is

Y = -3/2X-7/2

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (0,−6) and a directrix of y=−2. Write the equation of the parabola in any form.

topjm [15]

Answer:

y = x^2 - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of a parabola is exactly halfway between the focus and the directrix. If the focus is at (0, -6) and the directrix is the line y = -2, then we do this to locate the vertex: Draw a vertical line through (0, -6) also crossing the line y = -2. The y value halfway between y = -6 and y = -2 is y = -4, and the vertex is thus (0, -4).

Using the vertex method, write out the equation of this parabola, starting with the general form y - k = (x-h)^2, where (h, k) is the vertex. Here h = 0 and k = -4

We get: y + 4 = (x - 0)^2, or y + 4 = x^2, or y = x^2 - 4. As a check, let x = 0; y = -4, which is the y-coordinate of the vertex.
