Let's just change your problem to 147 of 30%

"Of" is always equaling to multiplication (×)

Now, it would be easier to simplify

30% (147)
30% ÷ 100 = 0.3
0.3(147)
Now, we get to your answer which might be 44.1

A quadratic function has x-intercepts 2 and 6 and its vertex is (4, 8). What is the corresponding quadratic expression? A. 2x2 −

Goryan [66]

Given:

A quadratic function has x-intercepts 2 and 6 and its vertex is (4, 8).

To find:

The corresponding quadratic expression.

Solution:

If graph of a function intersect the x-axis at c, then (x-c) is a factor of the function.

A quadratic function has x-intercepts 2 and 6. It means (x-2) and (x-6) are two factors of the required quadratic function.

The function is defined as:

$P(x)=a(x-2)(x-6)$ ...(i)

Where, a is a constant.

The vertex of the quadratic function is (4,8). It means the point (4,8) will satisfy the function.

Substituting x=4 and P(x)=8 in (i).

$8=a(4-2)(4-6)$

$8=a(2)(-2)$

$8=-4a$

Divide both sides by -4.

$\dfrac{8}{-4}=a$

$-2=a$

Putting $a=-2$ in (i), we get

$P(x)=-2(x-2)(x-6)$

$P(x)=-2(x^2-6x-2x+12)$

$P(x)=-2(x^2-8x+12)$

$P(x)=-2x^2+16x-24$

Therefore, the correct option is B.
