Answer:

Let x = the charge in 1st city before taxes

Let y = the charge in 2nd city before taxes

 

 

Set up equation before taxes.

 

y = x - 1500        eq1

 

 

Set up equation for total tax paid.

 

0.065x + 0.06y = 378.75         eq2

 

 

Substitute eq1 into eq2.

 

0.065x + 0.06(x - 1500) = 378.75

0.065x + 0.06x - 90 = 378.75

0.125x - 90 = 378.75

0.125x = 468.75

       x = 3750

 

Substitute this value of x into eq1.

 

y = 3750 - 1500

y = 2250

 

 

The hotel charge in city one is $3750 and the hotel charge in city two is $2250

Write the equation of a quadratic function who has the vertex of (4,-7)
timama [110]

Given:

The vertex of a quadratic function is (4,-7).

To find:

The equation of the quadratic function.

Solution:

The vertex form of a quadratic function is:

y=a(x-h)^2+k          ...(i)

Where a is a constant and (h,k) is vertex.

The vertex is at point (4,-7).

Putting h=4 and k=-7 in (i), we get

y=a(x-4)^2+(-7)

y=a(x-4)^2-7

The required equation of the quadratic function is y=a(x-4)^2-7 where, a is a constant.

Putting a=1, we get

y=(1)(x-4)^2-7

y=(x^2-8x+16)-7             [\because (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2]

y=x^2-8x+9

Therefore, the required quadratic function is y=x^2-8x+9.

Aidan has 20 ft of fence with which to build a rectangular dog run. What is the maximum area he can enclose?
butalik [34]
Assuming this Fence enclosment will be in the shape of a rectangle we will use the equation used to find the area of a rectangle, b×h=a

Using this formula we then must pick out factors used to create, in which the perimeter will add up to 20

·5,5,5,5 (25)
·8,2,8,2 (16)
·6,4,6,4 (24)


using this we can learn<span> that the maximum area that can be exclosed by this is 25, because the 2 perimiter lengths that define this rectangle would be 5 and 5.

</span>b(5)×h(5)=25(a)

therefore, your answer is 25 Units
