The vertex (5,39)
5 is the value of x. 39 is the value of y. y is the cost function of the minimum value in dollars.
(5,39) vertex means that <span>Buying five of each type of plant costs $39, which is the lowest possible cost.</span>

Since we have given that
Total number of tickets =10
Number of winning tickets =6

In which one out of every three awards is a large prize
so,

Now,


Given parameters:
Equation:
(x-4)²=9
Problem, solve the equation by factoring and extracting the root
<u>Solution:</u>
Given equation:
(x-4)²=9
subtract 9 from both sides to equate to zero;
(x-4)² - 9 = 0
(x -4)² - 3² = 0
Now, this is similar to the concept of difference of two squares;
x² - y² = <em>(x + y)(x-y)</em>
Here x = x-4 and y = -3
So input and solve;
(x - 4 -3)(x - 4 -(-3)) = 0
(x - 7)(x - 4+3) = 0
(x -7)(x -1) = 0
S0,
x - 7 = 0 or x-1 = 0
x = 7 or 1
If we extract the square roots;
(x-4)² = 9
√(x-4)² = √9
x - 4 = 3
x = 4 + 3 = 7; this is not the only solution to the problem
So we cannot solve it by extracting the square root.
