Jarred sells dvds. his inventory shows that he has a total of 3500 dvds. he has 2342 more contemporary titles than classic titles. let x represent the number of contemporary titles and y represent the number of classic titles. the system of equations models the given information for both types of dvds.

Jared has a total of 3500 dvds of two types, contemporarys and classics.

we also know that Jared has 2342 more contemporary dvds than classics.

Now, how we write this as system of equations?

if x is the number of classics, and y the number of contemporarys, then:

1) x + y = 3500

and

2) y - x = 2342

this is the system of equations, but just for fun we can solve it!

in the second equation we can leave y alone in the right side ande get: y = 2342 + x, and then replace it in the first equation.

x + y = 3500

x + (2342 + x) = 3500

2*x = 3500 - 2342 =1158

x = 1158/2 = 579

So Jared has 579 classic titles.

then:

y + x =3500

y + 579 = 3500

y = 3500 - 579 = 2921

And Jared has 2921 contemporary titles.

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
