-3x/2 - 9 = -27
-3x/2 = -27 + 9
-3x/2 = -18
-3x = -18 * 2
-3x = -36
x = 36/3
x = 12
*negative thirty-six turned into negative thirty-six over three, but since both numbers were negative, we had to make it positive in order to simplify, so that's why the answer is twelve, and not negative twelve.
Answer:
y ≥ x^2 - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can see that the shaded region is above what seems to be a parabola, and we also can see that the lines of the parabola are solid lines (which means that the points on the curve itself are solutions, so the symbol ≥ is used)
Then:
y ≥ a*x^2 + b*x + c
where a*x^2 + b*x + c is the general quadratic equation.
Now let's find the equation for the parabola:
f(x) = a*x^2 + b*x + c
We also can see that the vertex of the parabola is at the point (0, -1)
This means that:
f(0) = -1 = a*0^2 + b*0 + c
= -1 = c
then we have that c = -1
Then:
f(x) = a*x^2 + b*x - 1
Now we can look at the graph again, to see that the zeros of the parabola are at +1 and -1
Which means that:
f(1) = 0 = a*1^2 + b*1 - 1 = a + b - 1
f(-1) = 0 = a*(-1)^2 + b*(-1) - 1 = a - b - 1
Then we got two equations:
a + b - 1 = 0
a - b - 1 = 0
from this we can conclude that b must be zero.
Then:
b = 0
and these equations become:
a - 1 = 0
a - 1 = 0
solving for a, we get:
a = 1
Then the quadratic equation is:
f(x) = 1*x^2 + 0*x - 1
f(x) = x^2 - 1
And the inequality is:
y ≥ x^2 - 1
when solving sales tax it's pretty simple because all you do is add everything for a subtotal and multiply your sub total by the tax so i'll use the first as an example your subtotal is 19.96 x0.05 to get 0.99 <-- your sales tax and your final total with tax to be 20.96
