Please help quick!!! Jamie purchased a DVD that was on sale for 15% off. The sales tax in her county is 5%. Let y represent the

original price of the DVD. Write an expression that can be used to determine the final cost of the DVD.
y − 0.15y

0.05(0.85y)

y − 0.85y + 0.05y

1.05(0.85y)

1.05(.85y)

The .85y gets you the sales price, and multiplying by 1.05 adds in the sales tax.

Solve by substitution y=2x-1 y=3x+1

kupik [55]

Answer: x = -2

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Since the two expressions both equal y, you can set them equal to each other.

2x-1 = 3x+1

Subtract 2x from both sides.

-1 = x+1

Subtract 1 from both sides.

-2 = x

Marsha wants to determine the vertex of the quadratic function f(x) = x2 – x + 2. What is the function’s vertex?

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

$Vertex = (\frac{1}{2},\frac{7}{4})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x) = x^2 - x +2$

Required

The vertex

We have:

$f(x) = x^2 - x +2$

First, we express the equation as:

$f(x) = a(x - h)^2 +k$

Where

$Vertex = (h,k)$

So, we have:

$f(x) = x^2 - x +2$

--------------------------------------------

Take the coefficient of x: -1

Divide by 2: (-1/2)

Square: (-1/2)^2

Add and subtract this to the equation

--------------------------------------------

$f(x) = x^2 - x +2$

$f(x) = x^2 - x + (-\frac{1}{2})^2+2 -(-\frac{1}{2})^2$

$f(x) = x^2 - x + \frac{1}{4}+2 -\frac{1}{4}$

Expand

$f(x) = x^2 - \frac{1}{2}x- \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{1}{4}+2 -\frac{1}{4}$

Factorize

$f(x) = x(x - \frac{1}{2})- \frac{1}{2}(x - \frac{1}{2})+2 -\frac{1}{4}$

Factor out x - 1/2

$f(x) = (x - \frac{1}{2})(x - \frac{1}{2})+2 -\frac{1}{4}$

$f(x) = (x - \frac{1}{2})^2+2 -\frac{1}{4}$

$f(x) = (x - \frac{1}{2})^2+ \frac{8 -1 }{4}$

$f(x) = (x - \frac{1}{2})^2+ \frac{7}{4}$

Compare to: $f(x) = a(x - h)^2 +k$

$h = \frac{1}{2}$

$k = \frac{7}{4}$

Hence:

$Vertex = (\frac{1}{2},\frac{7}{4})$

Which translation maps the vertex of the graph of the function f(x) = x2 onto the vertex of the function g(x) = x2 + 2x +1?

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Option B is correct

Left 1 unit.

Explanation:

According to the graph theory of transformation:

y = f(x+k)= $\left \{ {{k>0 shift graph of y= f(x) left k unit} \atop {k$

Given the parent function: $f(x)=x^2$

and the function $g(x)=x^2+2x+1$

we can write it as:

g(x)= $(x+1)^2$ [ ∴ $(a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2$ ]

Therefore, vertex of the graph of the function $g(x)=(x+1)^2$ is 1 units to the left of the vertex of the graph of the function $f(x)=x^2$ .
