Answer:

C) The axis of symmetry is x = −1.5 and the vertex is (−1.5, 8.25).

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of symmetry is x = − b/2a

= -(-3) / 2(-1)

= 3/(-2)

= -1.5

the vertex => x = -1.5

y= -(-1.5)²-3(-1.5)+6 =

-2.25 +4.5+6= 8.25

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

468 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A catering service offers 5 appetizers, 4 main courses, and 8 desserts

To find: number of ways a customer is to select 4 appetizers, 2 main courses,and 3 desserts.

Solution:

A permutation is an arrangement of elements such that order of elements matters and repetition is not allowed.

Number of appetizers = 5

Number of main courses = 4

Number of desserts = 8

Number of ways of choosing k terms from n terms = $nPk=\frac{n!}{(n-k)!}$

Number of ways a customer is to select 4 appetizers, 2 main courses,and 3 desserts = $5P4+4P2+8P3$

$=\frac{5!}{(5-4)!}+\frac{4!}{(4-2)!}+\frac{81}{(8-3)!}\\=5!+\frac{4!}{2!}+\frac{8!}{5!}\\=5!+(4\times 3)+(8\times 7\times 6)\\=120+12+336\\=468$

So, this can be done in 468 ways.

Gabriel lives in a state where the sales tax rate is 6.25%. If Gabriel purchase an item for $60.00, how much sales tax does he n

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Gabriel needs to have $3.75 for sales tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sales tax rate of 6.25% means that 6.25 cents is going to be charged for tax for each dollar you spend. (Because 6.25% of $1.00 is 6.25 cents.)

If he was spending $10, the sales tax would be 62.5 cents (6.25 cents per dollar x 10 dollars). Since he is spending $60 on this item, the equation would be (6.25 cents per dollar x 60 dollars) (6.25 cents x 60 = 375 cents).

And 375 cents equals $3.75.
