The function f is such that f(x) = x^2 – 2x + 3
solve f(x) = 27

(the bottom question in the photo)

x = - 4, x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² - 2x + 3 and f(x) = 27, then equating the 2 gives

x² - 2x + 3 = 27 ( subtract 27 from both sides )

x² - 2x - 24 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 24) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 2)

The factors are - 6 and + 4, since

- 6 × 4 = - 24 and - 6 + 4 = - 2, thus

(x - 6)(x + 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
