Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the answer we can use proportion. We know that 4$ its 100% and 4.32 its 100% + taxes.

4$ ---------- 100%

4.32 -------- x

cross multiply now

4x=4.32*100%

4x=432% /:4

x=108%

We know that 4.32 its 100% + taxes=108% so to get taxes we have to subtract 108-100.

108%-100%=8% - its the answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$4 represents the sale price

4.32 - 4 =$ .32 represents the sale tax

Tax rate is the percentage $ .32 out of $4.

4 is 100%

.32 is x%

Cross multiply to find x, and divide by 4

x= (.32·100) / 4

x = 8

The tax rate is 8%.

What are the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola described by the equation below? y=7(x+5)^2-4

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

$y= 7(x+5)^2 -4$

The vertex form for a parabola is given by this expression:

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

By direct comparison we see that for this case:

$a = 7, h = -5 and k=-4$

And we know from the general expression that the vertex is:

$V= (h,k)$

So then the vertex for this case is:

$V= (-5,-4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following function:

$y= 7(x+5)^2 -4$

And we need to take in count that the vertex form for a parabola is given by this expression:

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

By direct comparison we see that for this case:

$a = 7, h = -5 and k=-4$

And we know from the general expression that the vertex is:

$V= (h,k)$

So then the vertex for this case is:

$V= (-5,-4)$
