Juan purchased an antique that had a value of \$200$200dollar sign, 200 at the time of purchase. Each year, the value of the antique is estimated to increase 10\, percent over its value the previous year. The estimated value of the antique, in dollars, 222 years after purchase can be represented by the expression 200a200a200, a, where aaa is a constant. What is the value of aaa?

answer: b.48 for

step-by-step explanation:

your answer would be b

step-by-step explanation:

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
