You have just received an inheritance of $20,000.00. you need to go to school, buy a car for transportation, pay for living expenses per month and rent. option a: - pay the full tuition of $20,000.00 for 4 years - finance a car with ($20,000.00) at a rate of 4.5 % per year - you need to pay a buying commission of 2.5 % which comes out of your inheritance - *rent is $1000.00 per month - *additional expenses $1000.00 per month - *rest of money owed from tuition option b: - pay (remainder of money) of tuition with the rest borrowed at 3 % per year - put down $10,000.00 on a car with the rest financed at 4.5 % per year - you need to pay commission of 2.5 % (which needs to come from your inheritance) - *rent is $1000.00 per month - *additional expenses are $1000.00 per month * = need a loan of 2 % per year which option is better? explain.

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
