In May, Jim’s lunch account has a balance of $58.19. If lunch costs $2.74 per day, how many days will Jim be able to buy lunch b
1 answer:
Answer:
<u>21 days.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, divide the cost of lunch from the initial amount in his account. Therefore:
58.19 = 2.74x ('x' being the number of days)
Divide both sides by 2.74:
x ≈21.24, or 21 days.
***Since you use whole numbers when counting days, round down to determine the amount of days he can buy lunch. Thus, he can buy lunch for <u>21 days.</u>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use the work form of a quadratic to determine what a is...in fact we will write the equation for the whole thing in the process, because it's part of solving for a.
y = ±|a|(x - h)² + k
where x and y are from a coordinate point on the graph, h and k are the coordinates of the vertex, the absolute value of a indicates how steep or flat the graph is compared to the parent graph, and the ± is because a positive parabola opens up and a negative one opens upside down.
The vertex is (0, 9) and the coordinate point I chose to use is (3, 0). Filling those in and solving for a:
0 = ±|a|(3 - 0)² + 9 and
0 = ±|a|(3)² + 9 and
-9 = ±|a|9 and
-1 = ±|a| so a = 1. Because this is an upside down parabola the negative is out front, but a is independent of it. The correct choice is C. The quadratic function is
