Answer:

$27.2

Step-by-step explanation:

A cake that costs $32 is on sale for 15% off and there are no taxes. Explain why the expression (0.85).32 represents the final price of the cake in dollars.

This is explained in the calculation below

= A cake that costs $32 is on sale for 15% off

The amount off the cake is calculated as

= 15% of $32

= 15/100 × 32

= $4.8

The amount he is paying for the cake =>$32 - $4.8

= $27.2

The above expression is obtained as

(0.85).32

= (100% - 15%) × 32

=( 1 - 0.15) × 32

= 0.85 × 32

= $27.2

The final price of the cake = $27.2

Answer the questions below about the quadratic function.

Korolek [52]

Given the function $f(x)=3x^2-18x+23$ . The above function can be written as

$f(x)=3x^2-18x+23\\ f(x)=3(x^2-6x)+23\\ f(x)=3(x^2-6x+9-9)+23\\ f(x)=3(x-3)^2-27+23\\ f(x)=3(x-3)^2-4$

a)Now, the function $f(x)=3(x-3)^2-4$ has minimum value since the coefficient of $(x-3)^2$ is $3>0$ .

b) The minimum value of the function occurs at $x=3$ and its value is

$f(3)=3(3-3)^2-4 =-4$

c)The minimum value of the function occurs at $x=3$ .
