It's simple. You have to subtract FIRST 18.75-5=13.75 for the Jones Family. Then you divide 13.75 by 2 bags of popcorn which equals $6.87 for the Jones Family.

For Smith Family, subtract 31.50-4=27.50. Then you divide 27.50 by 6 bags of popcorn which equals $4.58

What is the y-value of the vertex of the function f(x) = –(x + 8)(x – 14)? The y-value of the vertex is .
enot [183]
      Best Answer:  <span> y=18x^2+9x+14

y=18(x^2+(1/2)x + 1/16) + 14 - 9/8

y = 18(x + 1/4)^2 + 103/8


For y = a*(x - h)^2 + k, (h, k) the vertex

Your vertex: (- 1/4, 103/8)

Equation of axis of symmetry is x = (x-coordinate of vertex) OR x = - 1/4

y-intercept is y-value when x = 0, y = 14

x-intercept(s) do not exist for this upward opening parabola whose vertex y-value is above the x-axis.

The minimum of the function is the y-value of the vertex, 103/8.
=======================================...

Seems like Dizzle was in too much of a hurry and Jeff just copied Dizzle's answer.

The correct way of doing what dizzle TRIED to do:

For y = a*x^2 + b*x + c, the vertex occurs when x = - b / (2*a)

y=18x^2+9x+14

a = 18
b = 9

- b / (2*a) = - (9) / (2*18) = - 9 / 36 = - 1/4

Take that value for x, evaluate function at that value to get y.
=======================================...
Was so giddy about dizzle's faux pas that I originally did this work. May as well share it:

x-intercept(s) can be found by setting function equal to zero and solving:

y = 18(x + 1/4)^2 + 103/8

0 = 18(x + 1/4)^2 + 103/8

18(x + 1/4)^2 = - 103/8

(x + 1/4)^2 = - 103/144

x + 1/4 = +/- i*sqrt(103)/12

x = - 1/4 +/- i*sqrt(103)/12 OR x = [- 3 +/- i*sqrt(103)] / 12

These are the roots of the equation f(x) = 0

Since the roots are complex, there are no x-intercepts. The function is entirely above the x-axis. </span>

The top speed of a wildebeest is 64 km/h and the top speed of a zebra is 64.4 km/h. How much faster is a zebra in feet per secon
Lady_Fox [76]
Answer: The top speed of a zebra is 0.36 feet per second than a wildebeest.

First, we can start by subtracting the top speed of each animal. 64.4 - 64 = 0.4 The zebra is 0.4 km/h faster than the wildebeest.

Now, we just have to move from km/h to feet per second. To start, we need to divide by 3600 because there are 3600 seconds in an hour. Next, multiply by 0.62137 because there are 0.62137 km per mile. Finally, convert the miles to feet by multiply by 5280 (the number of feet per mile).

The result is a speed of about 0.36 feet per second.
