The original price is $200 because if you did 200 * 0.2, it would equal $160 which is the discounted price.

Answer:

1) (-3,-2)

2) x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The vertex of a parabola is the turning point that is the minimum or maximum of the graph, based on the shape of the parabola. In this case, the vertex is the minimum. By looking at the coordinate points, we can tell that the minimum value where the graph changes the direction is at (-3,-2).

2) The line of symmetry is the line on the graph that cuts the shape exactly in half. This means that if you were to fold the graph along this line, the two sides would be identical. All parabolas have a line of symmetry and it always matches the vertex. The equation for the line of symmetry will be x= whatever the x-value of the vertex is. So, for this graph, the line of symmetry is x=-3.

Anyone can help me solve this equation using cross multiplying

Answer:

x = 1 or 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The notion of "cross-multiplying" is the idea that the numerator on the left is multiplied by the denominator on the right, and the numerator on the right is multiplied by the denominator on the left. This looks like ...

$\displaystyle \frac{x-1}{7}=\frac{2x-2}{3x-1}\ \longrightarrow\ (x-1)(3x-1)=(7)(2x-2)$

Then the solution proceeds by eliminating parentheses, and solving the resulting quadratic equation.

$3x^2-4x+1=14x-14\\\\3x^2-18x+15=0\qquad\text{subtract $14x-14$}\\\\x^2-6x+5=0 \qquad\text{divide by 3}\\\\(x-1)(x-5)=0\qquad\text{factor}\\\\x\in\{1,5\}$

<em>Comment on "cross multiply"</em>

Like a lot of instructions in Algebra courses, the idea of "cross multiply" describes <em>what the result looks like</em>. It doesn't adequately describe how you get there. The <em>one and only rule</em> in solving Algebra problems is "<em>whatever is done to one side of the equation must also be done to the other side of the equation</em>." If you multiply one side by one thing and the other side by a different thing, you are violating this rule.

What looks like "cross multiply" is really "<em>multiply by the product of the denominators</em> and cancel like terms from numerator and denominator." Here's what that looks like with the intermediate steps added.

$\displaystyle \frac{x-1}{7}=\frac{2x-2}{3x-1}\\\\\frac{x-1}{7}\times7(3x-1)=\frac{2x-2}{3x-1}\times7(3x-1)\\\\(x-1)(3x-1)=(2x-2)(7)\qquad\textit{looks like}\text{ cross multiply}$

Answer:

$=8\sqrt{15}b^{\frac{7}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{24b^3}\sqrt{40b^2}\sqrt{b^2}$

$=\sqrt{40}\sqrt{b^2}\sqrt{b^2}\sqrt{24b^3}$

$=\sqrt{40}b^2\sqrt{24b^3}$

$\sqrt{24b^3}$

$=\sqrt{24}\sqrt{b^3}$

$=\sqrt{24}b^{\frac{3}{2}}$

$=\sqrt{24}b^{\frac{3}{2}}\sqrt{40}b^2$

$=\sqrt{2^3\cdot \:3}b^{\frac{3}{2}}\sqrt{40}b^2$

$=\sqrt{2^3}\sqrt{3}b^{\frac{3}{2}}\sqrt{40}b^2$

$\sqrt{2^3}$

$=2^{3\cdot \frac{1}{2}$

$=2^{3\cdot \frac{1}{2}}\sqrt{3}b^{\frac{3}{2}}\sqrt{40}b^2$

$=2^{\frac{3}{2}}\sqrt{3}b^{\frac{3}{2}}\sqrt{40}b^2$

$=2^{\frac{3}{2}}\sqrt{3}b^{\frac{3}{2}}\sqrt{2^3\cdot \:5}b^2$

$=2^{\frac{3}{2}}\sqrt{3}b^{\frac{3}{2}}\sqrt{2^3}\sqrt{5}b^2$

$=2^{\frac{3}{2}}\sqrt{3}b^{\frac{3}{2}}\cdot \:2^{\frac{3}{2}}\sqrt{5}b^2$

$=\sqrt{3}b^{\frac{3}{2}}\cdot \:2^{\frac{3}{2}+\frac{3}{2}}\sqrt{5}b^2$

$=\sqrt{3}\cdot \:2^{\frac{3}{2}+\frac{3}{2}}\sqrt{5}b^{\frac{3}{2}+2}$

$2^{\frac{3}{2}+\frac{3}{2}}$

$=2^3$

$=2^3\sqrt{3}\sqrt{5}b^{\frac{3}{2}+2}$

$b^{\frac{3}{2}+2}$

$=b^{\frac{7}{2}}$

$=2^3\sqrt{3}\sqrt{5}b^{\frac{7}{2}}$

$=2^3\sqrt{3\cdot \:5}b^{\frac{7}{2}}$

$=8\sqrt{15}b^{\frac{7}{2}}$
