Answer: Rs. 25,300

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the original price of the plot:

Assume this price is x:

x * ( 1 - 15%) = 18,700

0.85x = 18,700

x = 18,700/0.85

x = Rs. 22,000

To make a gain of 15%, sell at:

= 22,000 * (1 + 15%)

= 22,000 * 1.15

= Rs. 25,300

Which is the equation of the parabola?

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: $y=-\dfrac{1}{8}(x - 2)^2 - 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of a parabola is: y = a(x - h)² + k where

(h, k) is the vertex
$a=\dfrac{1}{4p}$

NOTE: p is the distance from the vertex to the focus

The vertex (h, k) is (2, -3)

$p=-2\quad \implies\quad a = \dfrac{1}{4(-2)}=-\dfrac{1}{8}$

Insert those values into the vertex formula to get:

$y=-\dfrac{1}{8}(x - 2)^2 - 3$

Write a polynomial function $f$ of least degree that has rational coefficients, a leading coefficient of 1, and the given zeros.

olganol [36]

Answer:

$f(x) = x^{3} + 4x^{2} -7x^{} -10^{}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros of the polynomial function are given us as -5,-1,2

If the zeros of a polynomial function are α,β,ω, the polynomial function can be obtained using the expression below:

f(x) = (x - α)(x - β)(x - ω)

where α = -5, β = -1, and ω = 2

$f(x)=(x-(-5) )(x -(-1))(x - 2) = (x+5)(x+1)(x-2)\\\\f(x)=(x+5)(x^{2} -2x + x -2) = (x+5)(x^{2} -x-2)\\\\f(x)=x(x^{2} -x-2)+5(x^{2} -x-2)\\\\f(x)= x^{3} - x^{2} -2x + 5x^{2} - 5x - 10\\\\f(x)= x^{3} + 4x^{2} -7x - 10$

NB: To arrive at the answer, expand the brackets and after expansion, collect like terms to obtain the final answer
