Because the vertex of the parabola is at (16,0), its equation is of the formy = a(x-10)² + 15
The graph goes through (0,0), thereforea(0 - 10)² + 15 = 0100a = -15a = -0.15
The equation is y = f(x) = -0.15(x - 10)² + 15
The graph is shown below.
Part A
Note that y = f(x).
The x-intercepts identify values where the function or y=0. The x-intercepts occur at x=0 and x=20, or at (0,0) and (20,0).
The maximum value of y occurs at the vertex (10, 15) because the curve is down due to the negative leading coefficient of -0.15.
The curve increases in the interval x = (-∞, 10) and it decreases in the interval x = (10, ∞).
Part B
When x=12, y = -0.15(12 - 10)² + 15 = 14.4When x=15, y = -0.15(15 - 10)² + 15 = 11.25
The average rate of change between x =12 to x = 15 is(11.25 - 14.4)/(15 - 12) = -1.05
This rate of change represents the slope of the secant line from A to B. It approximates the rate at which f(x) decreases in the interval x =[12, 15].
1/2 pounds,
assuming that each friend takes an equal part of the 2 1/2 pounds, then 2 1/2 divided by 5 would get you 1/2 pound
All except 0. The inequality is saying that x must be less than or equal to 3 which all answers except 0 are.
