Since this is a negative parabola, the curve will open downwards like a mountain.  A mountain has a peak or a top, aka a maximum.  Now let's complete the square to see what that vertex is.  Rule is that the leading coefficient has to be a +1.  Ours is a -1.  So we need to factor it out.  First though, set the equation equal to 0 then move the constant away from the x terms to the other side of the equals sign.  -x^2+8x=-9.  Factoring out the -1, -1(x^2-8x)=-9.  Now we are ready to complete the square.  Take half the linear term, square it, and add it in to both sides.  Our linear term is 8.  Half of 8 is 4, and 4 squared is 16.  So we will add 16 into the set of parenthesis, but don't forget that -1 hanging out front there, refusing to be ignored.  It is a multiplier.  Therefore, what we have REALLY added in was (-1)(16) = -16.  That's what gets added onto the right side to keep things in balance.  -1(x^2-8x+16)=-9-16.  We simplify on the right to get -25.  Now on the left we will write the perfect square binomial we created while doing this process:  -1(x-4)^2=-25.  Move the -25 over to the other side by addition and set it back equal to y: -1(x-4)^2+25=y.  We see now that our vertex is (4, 25) and that it is a maximum

A company wants to decrease their energy use by 10%. If their electric bill is currently $1,900 a month, what will their bill be
NemiM [27]

Answer:

A. $1,710

B. Yes, probably.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that a 10% decrease in energy use leads to a 10% decrease in the electric bill:

We'll want to find the value which is 10% less than the original value, i.e., the bill cost which is 90% of the original bill.

90% = 0.9

Since the original bill was $1900, we can just multiply 1900 by 0.9:

1900*0.9=1710

Answer: A bill of $1,710 would equal a 10% decrease.

Since $1,672 is less than that, then they have decreased their energy use by more than 10% which is likely a success.

Answer: Yes, probably.
