<h3>
Answer: b = 4 and c = 7.</h3>
===============================================
Explanation:
Comparing y = x^2+bx+c to y = ax^2+bx+c, we see that a = 1.
The vertex given is (-2,3). In general, the vertex is (h,k). So h = -2 and k = 3.
Plug those three values into the vertex form below
y = a(x-h)^2 + k
y = 1(x-(-2))^2 + 3
y = (x+2)^2 + 3
Then expand everything out and simplify
y = x^2+4x+4 + 3
y = x^2+4x+7
We see that b = 4 and c = 7.
For part A, The answer is that the car gets better gas mileage. We can see it from the graph that the number of gallons used is on the X axis, and the distance traveled using those number of gallons is on the Y axis. The easiest way to compare would be to look at the 1 gallon of gas. You can see that you can travel 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas. The truck on the other hand will get you 18 miles per gallon. Imagine putting 1 in for X, the Y value would be 18 if you did this. The graph just shows us a visual way of saying the same thing. To determine how much farther the car with a girl on 8 gallons of gas, you would just multiply 8 by 25 for the number of miles traveled by the car. You would multiply 8 by 18 to find the number of miles traveled for the truck. The answers are 200 miles for the car and 144 miles for the truck. 200-144=56 miles farther for the car.
The answer to this is 1/3
11.) You pay 620 to rent a hotel room for 4 weeks. Total cost include an initial deposit plus a weekly fee of 125.
a)y=(rate per week)x+deposit
620=125x+deposit
620=125(4)+deposit
620=500+deposit
620-500=deposit
120=deposit
y=125x+120
b) y-intercept is the deposit, at 120
