Y=a(x-r)(x-s) what is a and r and s ?

The constant a is the scale factor on the parabola; positive a makes a CUP (concave up), which is the usual orientation.  Negative a makes an upside-down parabola.  Big a (in absolute value) makes a skinny parabola, small a a wider one.

r and s are the zeros of the quadratic function, the values of x that give y=0.

a , r, s , x all are variables

the inequality is:

250c+180g≥950

step-by-step explanation:

let c denotes the number of days in a week   miyoko worked as a cryptographer.

and g denotes the number of days in a week she works as a geologist.

now we are given that she earns $250 for every day she works as a cryptographer,and earns $180 for every day she works as a geologist.

now miyoko's goal is to earn more than $950 this week.

hence, the inequality could be represented as:

250c+180g≥950
