The question is asking you to come up with a real-life example of something that can be represented as 15+ c= 17.50. If I were you I would do sales tax. You bought an item with a 15 dollar price tag, but when you go to check out 2.50 are added in tax to equal 17.50. to solve subtract 15 from 17.50: c= 2.50. Your variable (c) represents the sales tax. Hope that helps! :)
Answer:
its C just did it
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both are equivalent to y, the equations must be equivalent.
x^2-x-3= -3x+5
x^2+2x-8=0
(x+4)(x-2)=0
x=-4, x=2
Plug the values of x in to either equation
y=-3(-4)+5
y= 12+5
y=17
y= -3(2)+5
y=-6+5
y=-1
Final answer: (-4,17) and (2,-1)
Answer:
2a) -2
b) 8
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equation of a parabola in vertex form</u>
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) is the vertex and the axis of symmetry is x = h
2 a)
Using the equation of a parabola in vertex form, a parabola with vertex (2, -6):
f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 6
If one of the x-axis intercepts is 6, then
f(6) = 0
⇒ a(6 - 2)² - 6 = 0
⇒ 16a - 6 = 0
⇒ 16a = 6
⇒ a = 6/16 = 3/8
So f(x) = 3/8(x - 2)² - 6
To find the other intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:
f(x) = 0
⇒ 3/8(x - 2)² - 6 = 0
⇒ 3/8(x - 2)² = 6
⇒ (x - 2)² = 16
⇒ x - 2 = ±4
⇒ x = 6, -2
Therefore, the other x-axis intercept is -2
b)
Using the equation of a parabola in vertex form, a parabola with vertex (2, -6):
f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 6
If one of the x-axis intercepts is -4, then
f(-4) = 0
⇒ a(-4 - 2)² - 6 = 0
⇒ 36a - 6 = 0
⇒ 36a = 6
⇒ a = 6/36 = 1/6
So f(x) = 1/6(x - 2)² - 6
To find the other intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:
f(x) = 0
⇒ 1/6(x - 2)² - 6 = 0
⇒ 1/6(x - 2)² = 6
⇒ (x - 2)² = 36
⇒ x - 2 = ±6
⇒ x = 8, -4
Therefore, the other x-axis intercept is 8
