Alex rents a car for one day. The charge is $18 plus $0.12 per mile. Alex wants to spend exactly $30. Write an equation to represent the situation. A) 30 - 0.12 = 18x
B) 18 + 0.12x = 30
C) 18 - 0.12x = 30
D) 18x + 0.12 = 30
please help

B

Step-by-step explanation:

It's B because Alex wants to spend exactly $30, and since he has to pay $18 as a charge and $0.12 per mile, you would have to add those two together to get $30. Since you're spending money per mile and the charger, you have to add them.

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.
