Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex would be the highest/lowest point so lets factor this first
when we factor we get
2(x^2+6x+8)
2(x+4) (x+2)
Using zero product property we find the 2 x values and x intercepts are
-4 and -2
the middle point of these points is -3
Substitute -3 for x and solve
2(-3+4) (-3+2)
2 * 1 * -1
2*-1
-2
(-3,-2) is the vertex
The problem is asking how much each person will need to pay. Simplifying the problem into an equation with variables (an algorithm) will greatly help you solve it:
S = Sales Tax = $ 7.18 per any purchase
A = Admission Ticket = $ 22.50 entry price for one person (no tax applied)
F = Food = $ 35.50 purchases for two people
We know the cost for one person was: (22.50) + [(35.50/2) + 7.18] =
$ 47.43 per person. Now we can check each method and see which one is the correct algorithm:
Method A)
[2A + (F + 2S)] / 2 = [ (2)(22.50) + [35.50 + (2)(7.18)] ]/ 2 = $47.43
Method A is the correct answer
Method B)
[(2A + (1/2)F + 2S) /2 = [(2)(22.50) + 35.50(1/2) + (2)7.18] / 2 = $38.55
Wrong answer. This method is incorrect because the tax for both tickets bought are not being used in the equation.
Method C)
[(A + F) / 2 ]+ S = [(22.50 + 35.50) / 2 ] + 7.18 = $35.93
Wrong answer. Incorrect Method. The food cost is being reduced to the cost of one person but admission price is set for two people.
Answer:
for the first on its a=24 and for the second its a= 48
Step-by-step explanation:
for the first one you have to find the length which is 8 and then you find the width which is 3 then you multiply that to get 24
for the second one you find the base which is the strait line which is 8 then you find the height which is 6 then you multiply it to get 48 i hopes this helped!
