Jason is entering a weight lifting contest. Gurrently, his maximum bench press weight is 105 pounds. If he increases the weight by 7 pounds each week, What is the maximum weight he be able to bench press after 13 weeks?

196 lbs is the maximum weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

7 × 13 = 91 lbs (this is the amount he added by the 13th week)

91 + 105 = 196 lbs (this is the amount he added and the amount he had. giving us the finished product.)

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.

hope this
