Harriet used her credit card to buy a $779 laptop, which she paid off by making identical monthly payments for two and a half years. Over the six years that she kept the laptop, it cost her an average of $0.36 of electricity per day. Harriet's credit card has an APR of 11.27%, compounded monthly, and she made no other purchases with her credit card until she had paid off the laptop. What percentage of the lifetime cost of the laptop was interest? (Assume that there were two leap years over the period that Harriet kept the laptop, and round all dollar values to the nearest cent.) a.7.03% b. 13.21% c.11.27% d. 6.97%

correct answer:

i^31 = -i

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
