Find the x-intercepts of the parabola with the vertex (4,-1) and y-intercpet (0,15). write your answer in this form, (x1,y1)(x2.

y2)
use this method (y-k)=a(x-h)^2 to solve the problem

If you fit the vertex and the y-intercept into that form of the parabola, what you get is this:
a(0-4) ^{2} =(15+1) and
a(-4) ^{2} =16 and 16a=16. Solve that a to get that a = 1.  Now you have your true parabola equation in vertex form, which is:
1(x-4) ^{2} =y+1 or just
(x-4) ^{2} =y+1
Follow my work here to find the x-intercepts:
(x-4) ^{2} -1=y
(x-4)(x-4)-1=y and x^{2} -8x+16-1=y
Simplifying by combining like terms gives you this parabola:
x^{2} -8x+15=y
In order to find the x-intercepts, or the roots of the parabola as they are also known as, you have to set y equal to 0 (because the x-intercepts are found when y = 0, right?)
x^{2} -8x+15=0
Factoring that gives you (x-5)(x-3)=0 and that x-5=0 and x-3=0. Solving each of those simple equations gives you x=5 and x=3 when y=0. So the roots, in the form you require them, are (5, 0) and (3, 0)

The cost of a large pizza is given by c = 0.50t + 18, where c is the total cost and t is the number of toppings. The cost of a m
Mashutka [201]
The toppings would still cost 0.50 each (since it is just toppings)

The large pizza costs $18 if you do not have any toppings
The medium costs half of the large

18/2 = 9

The medium costs $9 without any toppings, so your new equation will be:

c = 0.50t + 9

hope this helps
