Please don't ask 2 questions in 1 question

remember that percent is parts out of 100 so x%=x/100
basically just remove the percent sign and move the decimal place 2 places to the left to convert to fraction

the first one
20 dollars
4.75% tax
15% tip
it depends if you want to tip on the total with tax or without tax
it is better to top on the without-tax value since tax comes from you so
find 4.75% of 20 and add that to 15% of 20 then add that to 20 to get the proper value

scenarios
1. 20+(20 times 4.75%)+(20 times 15%)=23.95
2. ([(20 times 104.75%)] times 115%)=24.09
both are bellow $25 so $25 shoudl be enough to cover it

total cost of a spa treatment of 42 with 6% tax and 20% tip
so you could again do two things:
1. apply tax and give tip on the new amount
2. find the tip and add that to the tax of only 42

scenarios:
1.(42 times 106%) times 120%=$50.4
2. (42 times 20%) +(42 times 106%)=$52.92
it depens on what you tip on

What are the x– and y–intercepts of the graph of y = 2x^2 – 8x – 10?

Nadya [2.5K]

x-intercepts are found by setting y=0
$y=2x^2-8x-10\rightarrow0=2x^2-8x-10$
factor out a 2 $0=2(x^2-4x-5)\rightarrow0=x^2-4x-5$
 $0=(x-5)(x+1)$ roots should be x=-1,5
therefore, x-intercepts are (-1,0) and (5,0)

y-intercepts are found by setting x=0
$y=2x^2-8x-10\rightarrow y=2(0)^2-8(0)-10$
$\rightarrow y=0-0-10=-10$
therefore, y-intercept is (0,-10)

A tunnel is built in form of a parabola. The width at the base of tunnel is 7 m. On

uysha [10]

Given:

The width at the base of parabolic tunnel is 7 m.

The ceiling 3 m from each end of the base there are light fixtures.

The height to light fixtures is 4 m.

To find:

Whether it is possible a trailer truck carrying cars is 4 m wide and 2.8 m high is going to drive through the tunnel.

Solution:

The width at the base of tunnel is 7 m.

Let the graph of the parabola intersect the x-axis at x=0 and x=7. It means x and (x-7) are the factors of the height function.

The function of height is:

$h(x)=ax(x-7)$ ...(i)

Where, a is a constant.

The ceiling 3 m from each end of the base there are light fixtures and the height to light fixtures is 4 m. It means the graph of height function passes through the point (3,4).

Putting x=3 and h(x)=4 in (i), we get

$4=a(3)((3)-7)$

$4=a(3)(-4)$

$\dfrac{4}{(3)(-4)}=a$

$-\dfrac{1}{3}=a$

Putting $a=-\dfrac{1}{3}$ , we get

$h(x)=-\dfrac{1}{3}x(x-7)$ ...(ii)

The center of the parabola is the midpoint of 0 and 7, i.e., 3.

The width of the truck is 4 m. If is passes through the center then the truck must m 2 m on the left side of the center and 2 m on the right side of the center.

2 m on the left side of the center is x=1.5.

A trailer truck carrying cars is 4 m wide and 2.8 m high is going to drive through the tunnel is possible if h(1.5) is greater than 2.8.

Putting x=1.5 in (ii), we get

$h(1.5)=-\dfrac{1}{3}(1.5)(1.5-7)$
