Answer:

f(x) = (x - 9)(x + 2) = x^2 - 7x - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

If the x-intercepts are -2 and 9, then the factors of this quadratic are (x + 2) and (x - 9). Multiplying these two factors together, we get:

f(x) = (x - 9)(x + 2) = x^2 - 9x + 2x -18, or

f(x) = (x - 9)(x + 2) = x^2 - 7x - 18

If the sale price is $40 and the discount is 25%, what is the original price?

sveta [45]

Use this equation to solve the problem:

x - (x * .25) = 40

This equation is saying the original price times itself by 25% is 40.

x - (x * .25) = 40
Simplify.
x - .25x = 40
.75x = 40
Divide both sides by .75.
x = 53.33

The original price was $53.33
