Carry out the mult.: f(x) = -[x^2 - 21x + 9x - 189]
Combine like terms: f(x) = -[x^2 - 12x - 189]
Eliminate the brackets [ ]: f(x) = -x^2 + 12x + 189
Identify coefficients a, b and c: a= -1, b=12, c=189
The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = -b/(2a), which here equals
x = -(12)/[2(-1)], or x = 6
This is also the x-coordinate of the vertex. Plug x=6 into the original equation to calculate the y-coordinate.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets translate this word problem into math.
"Latoya's annual salary is $26,000" = We start with the number 26,000
"A total of $7352.24 will be deducted for taxes and health insurance" = It's the number we started with "deducted" (minus) 7352.24
"She will receive her paycheck monthly in 12 equal installments" = Our number will be divided by 12
"How much will she get paid with each paycheck?" = "Find answer pls thx"
To put it all together...

Now all we have to do is solve!



Answer:
Latoya will get paid $1,553.98 with each paycheck.
