so, this is a quadratic equation, meaning two solutions, and we have a factored form of it, meaning you can get the solutions by simply zeroing out the f(x).
![\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{0}=-(x-3)(x+11)\implies 0=(x-3)(x+11)\implies x= \begin{cases} 3\\ -11 \end{cases} \\\\\\ \boxed{-11}\stackrel{\textit{\large 7 units}}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}}-4\stackrel{\textit{\large 7 units}}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}}\boxed{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cstackrel%7Bf%28x%29%7D%7B0%7D%3D-%28x-3%29%28x%2B11%29%5Cimplies%200%3D%28x-3%29%28x%2B11%29%5Cimplies%20x%3D%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%203%5C%5C%20-11%20%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cboxed%7B-11%7D%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7B%5Clarge%207%20units%7D%7D%7B%5Crule%5B0.35em%5D%7B10em%7D%7B0.25pt%7D%7D-4%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7B%5Clarge%207%20units%7D%7D%7B%5Crule%5B0.35em%5D%7B10em%7D%7B0.25pt%7D%7D%5Cboxed%7B3%7D)
so the zeros/solutions are at x = 3 and x = -11, now, bearing in mind the vertex will be half-way between those two, checking the number line, that midpoint will be at x = -4, so the vertex is right there, well, what's f(x) when x = -4?
![\bf f(-4)=-(-4-3)(-4+11)\implies f(-4)=7(7)\implies f(-4)=49 \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{vertex}{(-4~~,~~49)}~\hfill](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20f%28-4%29%3D-%28-4-3%29%28-4%2B11%29%5Cimplies%20f%28-4%29%3D7%287%29%5Cimplies%20f%28-4%29%3D49%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20%5Crule%7B34em%7D%7B0.25pt%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20~%5Chfill%20%5Cstackrel%7Bvertex%7D%7B%28-4~~%2C~~49%29%7D~%5Chfill)
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
the highest f(x) value on the table is at -4 on the x column
<span>gross =768
fed = 68
ss = 6.2/100 times 765
med = 1.45/100 times 765
state = 22/100 times 68
gross - ( sum of all deductions) = net pay
</span><span>Subtract 6.2% of $765 = 0.062 * $765 = 48.67
</span><span>Subtract 1.45% of $765 = 0.0145 * $765 = 11,0925
</span><span>Subtract 22% of $68 = 0.222 * $65 = 14.43
</span>Social security tax = 765 * 6.2% = 47.43
Medicare tax = 765 * 1.45% = 11.09
State tax (22% of federal tax) = 68 * 22% = 14.96
765 - 68 - 47.43 - 11.09 - 14.96 = 623.52
net pay is 623.52
Answer:
X=-1
Y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
6x-12y
-18
) 6x + 4y
-
-2
Subtract the two equations
6x - 12y - (6x + 4y) = -18 - (-2)
Determine the sign
6x- 12y - 6x- 4y
=-18 + 2
Simplify
-12y
- Ay
=-18 + 2
Solve the equation
Substitute
6×+4
-2
Solve the equation
X=
