Y=-0.5x²+1.25
To find the vertex we need to write given equation in the vertex form.
y=a(x-h)²+k
(h,k) - coordinates of the vertex
y=-0.5x²+1.25 can be written as
y=-0.5(x-0)²+1.25
So, h=0, k=1.25
Vertex is (0, 1.25)
Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation: On the first part, if it decreases by 17% each year, that means its value is 83% of what it was. You forgot to say that the car was bought 2 years ago.
Thus, the answer is D
For the second, just use the same logic to get 18000*0.75^4
A negative slope m8 hope this helps
