-2x + 5 = 1/3x - 22
-7/3x = -27
-7x = -81
x = 81/7 or 11.57
They will intersect when x = 81/7 or 11.57
The vertex<span> of a </span>parabola<span> is the point where the </span>parabola<span> crosses its axis of symmetry. If the coefficient of the x 2 term is positive, the </span>vertex<span> will be the lowest point on the graph, the point at the bottom of the “ U ”-shape.
</span><span>
The vertex of the parabola whose equation is y = x^2 + 8 x + 12 will be :
</span>(x , y) = (-4,-4)
They need to buy six because they will end up with fifty four.
(they cant buy five because they would end up with forty five and that wouldnt be enough)
