Remember that the vertex form of a parabola or quadratic equation is:
y=a(x-h)^2+k, where (h,k) is the "vertex" which is the maximum or minimum point of the parabola (and a is half the acceleration of the of the function, but that is maybe too much :P)
In this case we are given that the vertex is (1,1) so we have:
y=a(x-1)^2+1, and then we are told that there is a point (0,-3) so we can say:
-3=a(0-1)^2+1
-3=a+1
-4=a so our complete equation in vertex form is:
y=-4(x-1)^2+1
Now you wish to know where the x-intercepts are. x-intercepts are when the graph touches the x-axis, ie, when y=0 so
0=-4(x-1)^2+1 add 4(x-1)^2 to both sides
4(x-1)^2=1 divide both sides by 4
(x-1)^2=1/4 take the square root of both sides
x-1=±√(1/4) which is equal to
x-1=±1/2 add 1 to both sides
x=1±1/2
So x=0.5 and 1.5, thus the x-intercept points are:
(0.5, 0) and (1.5, 0) or if you like fractions:
(1/2, 0) and (3/2, 0) :P
X=invested at 10%12000-x=invested at 15% .10x+ (.15)(12000-x)=1440 ;; 12% of the total amount is 12% of $12000. .10x + 1800-.15x=1440
-0.05x=-360x=7200 12000-x=4800 $7200 at 10%=$720$4800 at 15%=$720 That is $12000 earning $1440, and that is 12%
We have to find x and x is the hypotenuse. We use this formula:
hyp²=side²+side²
So:
hyp²=side²+side²
hyp²= 12²+9²
hyp²= 225
hyp²= √225
hyp= 15
Therefore, the hypotenuse is 15 and x is 15.

Answer: m = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
m = slope
The slope is 1/-1 which is just -1.
Hope this helps!
