Answer:
- vertex: (7.5, 2.25)
- f(x) = -(x -7.5)² +2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
My favorite "technology" for problems like this is the Desmos graphing calculator app or web service. It easily displays the vertex (and/or zeros) of the function.
Of course, vertex form is ...
f(x) = a(x -h)² +k . . . . . . . . vertex (h, k), leading coefficient 'a'
The solution is found by reading the graph and putting the numbers in the formula. The leading coefficient is copied from the standard form equation.
- vertex: (7.5, 2.25)
- f(x) = -(x -7.5)² +2.25
Answer:
Eli has saved $10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us use the first letters of their names to represent them.
A for Angela and E for ELi
So, from the first statement, we can write out an equation: E = A + 8, that is, <em>one-third of Angela's savings + $8 will give us Eli's savings</em>
From the second statement, we can write out: E + 10 = (A + 10) + 4 which means that <em>if $10 is added to both their savings, Eli will still have $4 more than Angela.</em>
So, we can solve both equations;
Equation 1: E = A + 8
Equation 2: E + 10 = (A + 10) + 4; which can be rewritten as E + 10 = A + 14
and then E = A + 4
The two equations (in bold), can then be solved simultaneously.
Let us carry out this operation to <u>eliminate the E:</u> Subtract equation 1 from equation 2, so that;
A + 4 - ( A + 8) = E - E
A - 4 = 0
A = 4
A = 4 × = 6
So, if A is 6, and E = A + 4 (from equation 2, that means that E = 6 + 4 = 10
So, Eli has saved $10, while Angela has saved $6.
If we check what was said in the question about their savings, which is what we have represented using the equations, the answers can be confirmed.
