Given that a<span>
local RadioShack store wants to buy a new line of plasma TVs.
Manufacturer A offers chain discounts of 18/12, and Manufacturer B
offers terms of 17/13.
Let the list price of the plasma TVs be x, then after a chain discount of 18/12 by Manufacturer A, the selling price of the plasma TVs will be (1 - 0.18)(1 - 0.12)x = 0.82(0.88)x = 0.7216x
Also, after the discount of 17/13 by manufacturer B, the selling price of the plasma TVs will be (1 - 0.17)(1 - 0.13)x = 0.83(0.87)x = 0.7221x
Thus, the final selling price after discount by manufacturer A is 0.7216 and the final selling price after dscount by manufacturer B is 0.7221x.
Therefore, Manufacturer A offers a </span><span>single equivalent discount rate that is the best deal.</span>
The answer to this question is A
Answer:
Part A:
( 1.8333, -0.08333)
Part B:
x = 2 or x = 5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic equation
has been given.
Part A:
We are required to determine the vertex. The vertex is simply the turning point of the quadratic function. We shall differentiate the given quadratic function and set the result to 0 in order to obtain the co-ordinates of its vertex.

Setting the derivative to 0;
6x - 11 = 0
6x = 11
x = 11/6
The corresponding y value is determined by substituting x = 11/6 into the original equation;
y = 3(11/6)^2 - 11(11/6) + 10
y = -0.08333
The vertex is thus located at the point;
( 1.8333, -0.08333)
Find the attached
Part B:
We can use the quadratic formula to solve for x as follows;
The quadratic formula is given as,

From the quadratic equation given;
a = 3, b = -11, c = 10
We substitute these values into the above formula and simplify to determine the value of x;
