This is the graph of y = -x2 - 2x + 8.

What is the range of this function?

Hi there!

We can find the range using completing the square:

y = -x² - 2x + 8

Factor out a -1:

y = -(x² + 2x) + 8

Use the first two terms. Take the second term's coefficient, divide by 2, and square:

y = -(x² + 2x + 1) + 8  

Remember to add by 1 because we cannot randomly add an additional number into the equation:

y = -(x² + 2x + 1) + 8 + 1

Simplify:

y = -(x + 1)² + 9

Since the graph opens downward (negative coefficient), the range is (-∞, 9)

step-by-step explanation:

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
