The vertex is the high point of the curve, (2, 1). The vertex form of the equation for a parabola is
.. y = a*(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . . for vertex = (h, k)
Using the vertex coordinates we read from the graph, the equation is
.. y = a*(x -2)^2 +1
We need to find the value of "a". We can do that by using any (x, y) value that we know (other than the vertex), for example (1, 0).
.. 0 = a*(1 -2)^2 +1
.. 0 = a*1 +1
.. -1 = a
Now we know the equation is
.. y = -(x -2)^2 +1
_____
If we like, we can expand it to
.. y = -(x^2 -4x +4) +1
.. y = -x^2 +4x -3
=========
An alternative approach would be to make use of the zeros. You can read the x-intercepts from the graph as x=1 and x=3. Then you can write the equation as
.. y = a*(x -1)*(x -3)
Once again, you need to find the value of "a" using some other point on the graph. The vertex (x, y) = (2, 1) is one such point. Subsituting those values, we get
.. 1 = a*(2 -1)*(2 -3) = a*1*-1 = -a
.. -1 = a
Then the equation of the graph can be written as
.. y = -(x -1)(x -3)
In expanded form, this is
.. y = -(x^2 -4x +3)
.. y = -x^2 +4x -3 . . . . . . same as above

Answer:
the woman has to live 1 mile from work to minimize the expenses
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data in the question;
the distance within 9 miles ⇒ 0 < x > 9
Total costs Q = cx + 4c/( x + 1)
costs should be minimum ⇒ dQ/dx = 0
⇒ d/dx [ cx + 4c/( x + 1) ] = 0
⇒ ( x + 1)² = 4
take square root of both side
√[ ( x + 1)² ] = √4
x + 1 = 2
x = 2 - 1
x = 1
Therefore, the woman has to live 1 mile from work to minimize the expenses
You can first multiply your coefficients (7x9), which gives you 63. You can then simplify the exponents by using the rule that when two terms with the same variable are being multiplied, you can simplify by adding exponents. Since 7+3= 10, your simplified answer would be 63x^10 :) hope it helped!
