3/8 (x-1) (x-9)
graph the function

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The factors tell you the x-intercepts are at x=1 and x=9, as these are the x-values that make the factors zero.

The y-intercept is ...

  (3/8)(0 -1)(0 -9) = 27/8 = 3 3/8

The vertex is at the point halfway between the x-intercepts, at x = (1+9)/2 = 5.

  (3/8)(5 -1)(5 -9) = 3(-16)/8 = -6

The vertex is (5, -6)

So, we have points on the curve (0, 3 3/8), (1, 0), (5, -6), (9, 0), (10, 3 3/8)*. The graph is a smooth parabolic curve through these points.

___

* (10, 3 3/8) is symmetrically located about x=5 from the y-intercept.

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
