Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
To obtain this form using the method of completing the square.
Given
f(x) = 3x² - 24x + 10
We require the coefficient of the x² term to be 1 , thus factor out 3
3(x² - 8x) + 10
To complete the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 8x
= 3(x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 - 16) + 10
= 3(x - 4)² + (3 × - 16) + 10
= 3(x - 4)² - 48 + 10
= 3(x - 4)² - 38, thus
f(x) = 3(x - 4)² - 38 ← in vertex form
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
It decreases from negative infinity to -2, then increases, so x=-2 is a rel. min.
It increases from x=-2 to x=2, then decreases to infinity, so x=2 is a rel. max.
"Per" means "divided by", so "cost per ounce" means "cost"/"ounces".
The difference in cost per ounce is
.. (1.14/12) -(1.28/16) = .095 -.08 = 0.015
Brand X costs 1.5¢ more per ounce than Brand Y.
% means per 100
so when figuring out percents it's good to use 100
so
on $100 7% would mean $7
on $50 7% would mean $3.5
in $200 7% would mean $14
$4.68 because each pretzel is $1.17 so 8 pretzels are 9.36 ÷ by 2 = $4.68
