Find the x-intercepts of the parabola with vertex (1, -9) and y intercept at (0, -6).

hello :
the parabola's equation is : f(x) = a(x-1)²-9
the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola's equation is : a
but ; f(0) = -6 ...  ( y-intercepts (0,-6) )

-6 = a(0-1)²-9
-6 =a -9

a=3
f(x) = 3(x-1)²-9

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
