To subtract? as minus means subract/take away?
Answer:
B) Vertex (1,2), maximum
Step-by-step explanation:
First, determine if the graph has a maximum or a minimum value. Since the graph opens downwards, it has a <u>maximum</u> value.
The maximum is the point that has the greatest y value. We can see that the greatest y value is at
. Going down two units from that spot, we can see that the x value is at
. We can plug those into the vertex form,
. By plugging in we get the point
.
Joel = j, Mark = m, Sandra = s
j + m + s = 120
m = 3j
j = 1/2 s --> s = 2j
plug in (substitute) each letter to make it in terms of only j: j + m + s = 120
j + 3j + 2j = 120
6j = 120
6j/6 = 120/6
j = 20
now plug in for the j & s equation:
s = 2j = 2(20) = 40
Therefore Sandra has 40 coins!
