Format of Quadratic Equation: y = ax2 + bx + c
Given Quadratic Equation: y = 2x2 - 3x + 3
Coefficient Variable Values: a = 2 and b = -3 and c = 3
Axis of Symmetry: x = -b/2a = -(-3)/2(2) so answer is x = 3/4
Vertex: x value is axis of symmetry (3/4) and y value is calculated substituting 3/4 for x in original equation: y = 2(3/4)2 - 3(3/4) + 3 = 2(9/16) - 9/4 + 3 = 9/8 - 9/4 + 3 = 9/8 - 18/8 + 24/8 = 15/8,
so answer is (3/4,15/8)
x intercepts (solve using quadratic formula): x = (-b plus or minus sqrt(b2 - 4ac)/2a, so plugging in coefficient values for a and b and c, we get x = [-(-3) plus or minus sqrt((-3)2 - 4(2)(-3)]/2(2), which results in x = (3 + sqrt(33))/4 or (3 - sqrt(33))/4 and answers to nearest tenth are x = (3 + 5.7) / 4 = 2.2
or x = (3 - 5.7) / 4 = -0.7
y intercept is calculated by substituting zero for x into original equation: y = 2x2 - 3x + 3, so y-intercept is 3.
Domain is range is from calculated negative x intercept (-0.7) to calculated positive x intercept (2.2) and is written as (-0.7,2.2)
Range is from calculated y-intercept to positive infinity, since parabola opens up due to positive x2 coefficient value, so range is written as (3,positive infinity). Note: infinity symbol is sideways 8.

The total amount of her savings 12,058.78
Answer:
0.049168726 light-years
Step-by-step explanation:
The apparent brightness of a star is
where
<em>L = luminosity of the star (related to the Sun)
</em>
<em>d = distance in ly (light-years)
</em>
The luminosity of Alpha Centauri A is 1.519 and its distance is 4.37 ly.
Hence the apparent brightness of Alpha Centauri A is
According to the inverse square law for light intensity
where
light intensity at distance 
light intensity at distance 
Let be the distance we would have to place the 50-watt bulb, then replacing in the formula
Remark: It is worth noticing that Alpha Centauri A, though is the nearest star to the Sun, is not visible to the naked eye.
