Mr. Folsom buys 8 boxes of ice pops. There are the same number of ice pops in each box. There are 96 ice pops in all. How many ice pops are in each box?
Write an equation to represent the problem. Use n to represent the number of ice pops in each box.
What operation do you use to solve this problem?

Step-by-step explanation:

try doing it by adding

8 16 24 32 40 48 56 64 72 80 88 96

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.

hope this
