<h2>
1. y-intercept</h2>
The quadratic function 
represents a parabola. In fact, the graph of a quadratic function is a special type of U-shaped curve called a parabola. To find the y intercept, we set 
as follows:
<h2>
2. x-intercepts</h2>
To find the other x-intercept, we must set 
as follows:
Therefore, the other x-intercept is 
. You can see both the y-intercept and the x-intercepts in the figure below.
Let us make a list of all the details we have
We are given
The cost of each solid chocolate truffle = s
The cost of each cream centre chocolate truffle = c
The cos to each chocolate truffle with nuts = n
The first type of sweet box that contains 5 each of the three types of chocolate truffle costs $41.25
That is 5s+5c+5n = 41.25 (cost of each type of truffle multiplied by their respective costs and all added together)
The second type of sweet box that contains 10 solid chocolate trufles, 5 cream centre truffles and 10 chocolate truffles with nuts cost $68.75
That is 10s+5c+10n = $68.75
The third type of sweet box that contains 24 truffles evenly divided that is 12 each of solid chocolate truffle and chocolate truffle with nuts cost $66.00
That is 12s+12n=$66.00
Hence option C is the right set of equations that will help us solve the values of each chocolate truffle.
Company a = 22 + 0.07m
company b = 8 + 0.12m
We are looking for the time when the prices are equal. i.e. the price of company a = the price of company b
company a = company b
22 + 0.07m = 8 + 0.12m
22 - 8 = 0.12m - 0.07m
14 = 0.05m
m = 14/0.05
m = 280
Therefore, the two companies will cost the same if you talk for 280 minutes
