The function

describes a parabola with vertex = (5, 3).
The graph of the function is attached.
You have to make a system of equations: lets make a equal the amount marry makes per student and b be her base amount.
90=15a+b (you have to subtract the top equation by the bottom equation)
62=8a+b (90-62=28, 15a-8a=7a, and b-b=0)
Since b canceled out, you are left with 7a=28 which means a=4. you can than plug a into the equation 62=8a+b to find that b=30.
since Lisa makes half of the base amount marry, her base amount is 15. However, she also make twice the amount per kid so she makes 8 per kid.
using the found values found you can make the equations (m=the amount Marry makes, l=the amount Lisa makes, and c is the number of children)
m=4c+30
l=8c+15
set c=20 and you should get m=110 and l=175. Based off of that information, we can say that Lisa makes more money instructing a class of 20 students.
I hope this helps.

Answer: Choice A</h3>
The first line shown in choice A is
which means "the first term is -2"
The next line in choice A means "the nth term (
) is found by multiplying the prior term (
) by 8". Put another way: multiply each term by 8 to get the next term.
first term = -2
second term = 8*(first term) = 8*(-2) = -16
third term = 8*(second term) = 8*(-16) = -128
fourth term = 8*(third term) = 8*(-128) = -1024
and so on.
Let the total cost of the item be represented by C and the price be represented by P, then given that t<span>he total cost of an item including sales tax is directly proportional to its price, thus</span>

where k is a constant.
Given that <span>the total cost of a $32 item is $33.60, thus

Therefore, the total cost on a $55 item is given by
