if we zero out f(x), namely make y = 0, we can get the roots or x-intercepts for this quadratic equation
now, the equation is in x-terms, meaning is a vertically opening parabola, so the axis of symmetry will be x = something, a vertical line.
well, we have two x-intercepts, one at -4 and another at 2, and the vertex is right half-way between those guys
-4------------(-1)------------2
so the vertex is at x=-1, namely the axis of symmetry is x = -1.
Answer:
Number of hot dogs sold = 56
Number of hamburgers sold = 52
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Number of hot dogs sold = x
Number of hamburgers sold = y
We can make equation from given equations:
(Hot dogs were sold for $.50 (fifty cents), and hamburgers were sold for $1 (one dollar). The total money raised by your class was $80. )
(Together you sold 108 hot dogs and hamburgers.)
Now we cam solve these system of equations to find value of x and y
Subtract both equations to get value of x:
We get value of x = 56
Now putting value of x in equation 2 to find value of y
So, we get y = 52
Therefore,
Number of hot dogs sold = x = 56
Number of hamburgers sold = y = 52
Step-by-step explanation:
this is your answer..........
