Answer:

- 13

Step-by-step explanation:

\begin{gathered}y = 2 - 5x \\ f(x) = 2 - 5x \\ f(3) = 2 - 5(3) \\ f(3) = 2 - 15 = - 13\end{gathered}

y=2−5x

f(x)=2−5x

f(3)=2−5(3)

f(3)=2−15 = −13

An arch in the shape of a parabola has a height of 50 feet at the center and a span of 120 feet across. Find the height of the a

Feliz [49]

Check the picture below.

so, we know the parabola has a vertex at (0 , 50), we also know it passes through (60 , 0), so then

$~~~~~~\textit{vertical parabola vertex form} \\\\ y=a(x- h)^2+ k\qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\\\\ \stackrel{"a"~is~negative}{op ens~\cap}\qquad \stackrel{"a"~is~positive}{op ens~\cup} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}$

$\stackrel{vertex}{(0~~,~~50)}\implies y=a(x-0)^2+50\implies y = ax^2+50 \\\\\\ \begin{cases} x =60\\ y = 0 \end{cases}\implies 0=a6^2+50\implies -50=3600a\implies -\cfrac{50}{3600}=a \\\\\\ -\cfrac{1}{72}=a~\hfill therefore~\hfill \boxed{y=-\cfrac{1}{72}x^2+50}$

so then, what's "y" when x = 25?

$y=-\cfrac{1}{72}25^2+50\implies y = -\cfrac{625}{72}+50\implies y = \cfrac{2975}{72}\implies y\approx 41.32$

Original price: $150; Markdown:40%(show work please)

zepelin [54]

Original price is $150 so you times 150 by 0.40
150 x 0.40 = 60
So you take the $150 and you subtract $60 from $150
150 - 60 = 90
So the answer is $90
