Answer:

Vertex is (-4, -18)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = ax^{2} +bx +c

Let (h, k) be the vertex

An easy way to find h is to use the formula h = -b/2a

In your case where f(x) = x^{2} +8x - 2   a = 2 and b = 8

So, h =  -8/2(1) = -8/2 = -4

Substitue -4 in for x to find k

k = (-4^{2}) + 8(-4) - 2

  = (16) - 32 - 2

  = 16 - 32 - 2

  = -18

Vertex is (-4, -18)

Note:  Another way to find the vertex is to complete the square, but this can really be difficult in some cases

A department store sells logo shirts at an original price of $20. Every month that a shirt doesn’t sell, the store reduces the s
Tasya [4]
Given:
Original price = 20
reduces selling price by 25% every month it's not sold.

First markdown month:
20 * (100%-25%) = 20 * 75% = 15

Second markdown month
15 * 75% = 11.25

Macy, employee gets a 50% discount off the current price.
11.25 * 50% = 5.625
11.25 - 5.625 = 5.625 or 5.63

The pre-tax price of the shirt for Macy will be $5.63

In a class in which the final course grade depends entirely on the average of four equally weighted 100-point tests, Joyce has s
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

66 ≤ f ≤100

Explanation

Mean= ( Σ x ) / n

Mean= sum of scores/ number of subject she took

Now, she already too 3 subject which sum is 85+83+86=254

Now we need to know range of score for her to have (grade) a mark between 80 and 89

Now let take the lower limit mean=80

The lowest score she can get is

Mean = ( Σx) / n

80=(85+83+86+f)/4

80×4= 254+f

Therefore, f= 320-254=66

Therefore the minimum score she can have to have a B is 66.

Then, let take the upper limit mean 89. i.e the maximum she can have so that she don't have an A grade.

Mean = ( Σx) / n

89=( 83+85+86+f)/4

89×4= 254+f

f= 356-254

f=102.

Therefore this shows that she cannot have an A grade in the exam. The maximum score for the exam is 100.

There the range of score is 66 ≤ f ≤100 to have a B grade

66 ≤ f ≤100 answer

Since she cannot score 102 in the examination.
