Answer:x
=
5
toppings
Step-by-step explanation:Total cost of cheese pizza:
$
10.75
Any additional topping adds:
+
$
1.25
So a cheese pizza with
1
additional topping is:
$
10.75
+
$
1.25
=
$
12.00
A cheese pizza with
2
additional toppings is:
$
10.75
+
$
1.25
+
$
1.25
=
$
10.75
+
2
×
$
1.25
=
$
13.25
A cheese pizza with
3
additional toppings is:
$
10.75
+
$
1.25
+
$
1.25
+
$
1.25
$
10.75
+
3
×
$
1.25
=
$
14.50
If you pay attention to the pattern you can see that, for any number of toppings, say
x
toppings, the price is going to be:
$
10.25
+
x
×
$
1.25
We are told the final cost is
$
17.00
. That is
$
10.25
+
x
×
$
1.25
=
$
17.00
Subtract
$
10.25
from both sides
$
10.25
−
$
10.25
+
x

$
1.25
=
$
17.00
−
$
10.25
x
×
$
1.25
=
$
6.25
Divide both sides by
$
1.25
x

$
1.25

1.25
=

Remember that the vertex form of a parabola or quadratic equation is:
y=a(x-h)^2+k, where (h,k) is the "vertex" which is the maximum or minimum point of the parabola (and a is half the acceleration of the of the function, but that is maybe too much :P)
In this case we are given that the vertex is (1,1) so we have:
y=a(x-1)^2+1, and then we are told that there is a point (0,-3) so we can say:
-3=a(0-1)^2+1
-3=a+1
-4=a so our complete equation in vertex form is:
y=-4(x-1)^2+1
Now you wish to know where the x-intercepts are. x-intercepts are when the graph touches the x-axis, ie, when y=0 so
0=-4(x-1)^2+1 add 4(x-1)^2 to both sides
4(x-1)^2=1 divide both sides by 4
(x-1)^2=1/4 take the square root of both sides
x-1=±√(1/4) which is equal to
x-1=±1/2 add 1 to both sides
x=1±1/2
So x=0.5 and 1.5, thus the x-intercept points are:
(0.5, 0) and (1.5, 0) or if you like fractions:
(1/2, 0) and (3/2, 0) :P
