Dominic is deciding if he should become a member of his local ice rink. The $144 annual membership fee at the ice rink includes admission and parking, members pay $4.00 per visit to rent ice skates. Non-members pay $11 admissions, $5.00 for parking and they also pay $4.00 per visit to rent ice skates. 1. When is it better to be a member? After 4 visits how much would each pay? Member: $ Non-Member: $ After 6 visits how much would each pay? Member: $ Non-Member: $

1. members = $ 160 , non members = $ 80

2. members = $ 168 , non members = $ 120

Step-by-step explanation:

For members

Annual membership = $ 144

rent per visit charges = $ 4

For Non members

parking charges = $ 5

admission charges = $ 11

rent per visit = $ 4

(1) for 4 visits

Members pay = $ 144 + 4 x $ 4 = $ 160

Non members pay = 4 x $ 11 + 4 x $ 5 + 4 x $ 4 = $ 80

So, non member ship is better.    

(2) for 6 visits

Members pay = $ 144 + 6 x $ 4 = $ 168

Non members pay = 6 x $ 11 + 6 x $ 5 + 6 x $ 4 = $ 120

So, non member ship is better.

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
