2 * 2.5 = 5, David’s brother drank 5 bottles of water. And the number of miles they ran is insignificant to the question.

Alexandria,a car dealer,earns 40% commission of her luxury vehicles sales. Last year,her sales were $480,000. What was the total

Oxana [17]

Answer:

$12,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

To find her commission, create a proportion.

$\frac{40}{100}=\frac{480000}{x}$

To solve use cross multiplication.

40(x) = 100(480000)

40x = 48000000

x= 12,000,000

The equation of a parabola is y=x^2-10x+27. Write the equation in vertex form

azamat

Answer:

$\large \boxed{y = (x - 5)^{2} + 2 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x² - 10x + 27

y = ax² + bx + c

This is the general form of the equation for a parabola.

We must convert it to the vertex form

y = (x - h)² + k, where (h,k) are the coordinates of the vertex.

We can do this by completing the square.

$\begin{array}{rcll}y & = & x^{2} - 10x + 27 & \\y - 27 & = & x^{2} - 10x & \text{Subtracted 27 from each side}\\y - 27&= & x^{2} - 10x + 25 - 25 & \text{Added and subtracted (b/2)}^{2}\\y - 27&= & (x - 5)^{2} - 25 & \text{Wrote the first three terms as the square of a binomial}\\y& = & \mathbf{(x - 5)^{2} + 2} & \text{Added 27 to each side}\\\end{array}\\\text{The vertex form of the parabola is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{y = (x - 5)^{2} + 2 }}$}$ The figure below shows that your parabola has its vertex at (5,2).
