Answer:
There are 3 2/3 groups of 3/4 in 11/4
Answer: $29.38
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate a tax of a dollar value, use this formula:
[original dollar value] * [tax percentage] = [tax]
Your original dollar value is $734.50, and your tax percentage is 4%.
734.5 * 0.04. Brett will pay $29.38 in tax.
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:
A. (55 x 5) - (40 x 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
You are solving how much miles (further along) would the second car be after 5 hours.
The first car averages 40 miles per hour. 5 hours later, it will have averaged about 200 miles in 5 hours (40 x 5 = 200).
The second car averages 55 miles per hour. 5 hours later, it will have averaged about 275 miles in 5 hours (55 x 5 = 275)
Subtract: 275 - 200 = 75
The second car would have averaged 75 more miles than the first car.

The expression representing this would be 24 × 50 × 2. You do not need parentheses because multiplication is commutative. Simplified this would then be 100 × 24 which is $2400 .
