Answer:
Option C (f(x) = 
)
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, the first step is to write the general form of the quadratic equation, which is f(x) = 
, where a, b, and c are the arbitrary constants. There are certain characteristics of the values of a, b, and c which determine the nature of the function. If a is a positive coefficient (i.e. if a>0), then the quadratic function is a minimizing function. On the other hand, a is negative (i.e. if a<0), then the quadratic function is a maximizing function. Since the latter condition is required, therefore, the first option (f(x) = 
) and the last option (f(x) = 
) are incorrect. The features of the values of b are irrelevant in this question, so that will not be discussed here. The value of c is actually the y-intercept of the quadratic equation. Since the y-intercept is 4, the correct choice for this question will be Option C (f(x) = ). In short, Option C fulfills both the criteria of the function which has a maximum and a y-intercept of 4!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
the original retail price was 120% of the manufacturer price (100% manufacturer price + 20% markup).
now, the whole retail price is reduced by 12%.
that means we have to subtract 12% from the 120%.
but careful, we cannot just do 120-12=108.
that is simply because these 120% are now for this calculation the new basic amount and therefore 100%.
we actually need to calculate and subtract 12% of 120 to get the new percentage over the manufacturer price.
we do this by multiplying 120 by (100-12)/100 = 88/100 = 0.88 :
120 × 0.88 = 105.6%
so, the new retail price is now only 5.6% over the manufacturer price.
8 and .25 are rational numbers because integers are negative and whole numbers don't include decimals and rational numbers can include whole number like 8 or 8/1 and .25.
7/24
You could try rounding up to 0.292 first and try guessing it it gets to 73/250 which you could guess into 70/240.
My guess is SAS, it’s definitely not a or d
