Using a system of equations, it is found that the unit prices are:

  • $2.25 for a bag of chips.
  • $1.50 for a liter of pop.
  • $1.75 for a chocolate bar.

For the system:

  • x is the unit price of a bag of chips.
  • y is the unit price of liter of pop.
  • z is the unit price for a chocolate bar.

From the table, the equations are:

2x + 2y + z = 9.25

3x + 4y + z = 14.50

x + 3y + 3z = 12

Replacing the <u>first equation on the second and the third:</u>

z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y

3x + 4y + z = 14.50

3x + 4y + 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 14.50

x + 2y = 5.25

x = 5.25 - 2y

x + 3y + 3z = 12

x + 3y + 3(9.25 - 2x - 2y) = 12

-5x - 3y = -15.75

5x + 3y = 15.75

Since x = 5.25 - 2y:

5(5.25 - 2y) + 3y = 15.75

-7y = -10.5

y = \frac{10.5}{7}

y = 1.5

Then:

x = 5.25 - 2y = 5.25 - 2(1.5) = 2.25

z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 9.25 - 2(2.25) - 2(1.5) = 1.75

The unit prices are:

  • $2.25 for a bag of chips.
  • $1.50 for a liter of pop.
  • $1.75 for a chocolate bar.

Answer:

A. Vertex is ( -1, 16)

B. Do they mean y-intercept for vertical intercept? That is (0,14)

C. X-intercepts are

(-3.838, 0) and (1.828, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

plug the equation into desmos. It will graph and give you the info.

To find y-int, plug in 0 for x. This gives you the point 0, 14.

You can also use the quadratic equation to find the x-intercepts.
