Answer:
Sedan: 4 passengers
Minivan: 6 passengers
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write the following system of equations:
, where
represents the number of people a sedan can seat and
represents the number of people a minivan can seat.
Subtracting the first equation from the second, we have:
Now plug in in any of the equations to solve for
:
Verify that the solution pair works:
Therefore, a sedan can hold 4 passengers and a minivan can hold 6 passengers.
so, this is a quadratic equation, meaning two solutions, and we have a factored form of it, meaning you can get the solutions by simply zeroing out the f(x).
so the zeros/solutions are at x = 3 and x = -11, now, bearing in mind the vertex will be half-way between those two, checking the number line, that midpoint will be at x = -4, so the vertex is right there, well, what's f(x) when x = -4?
