Answer:
The function f(x) is not given, I used a different function but the approach and steps is the same .
Step-by-step explanation:
- Given the function f(x) = 2x2 - 8x + 5
compare with the normal quadratic equation ; ax2 + bx + c = f(x)
- since a is greater than zero i.e a > o {positive}
As such, it has a minimum
hence for minimum value; x = -b/2a
x = -(-8)/2 x 2
x = 8/4 = 2
plugging the values of x in f(x) ; f(2) = 2(2)^2 -8(2) + 5
f(2) = -3, hence it has minimum value and the minimum value is -3
Answer:
From our calculations the large jar is the best value for money because a penny buys more honey
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2>In this problem we are expected to determine which purchase of honey is the cheapest ? large jar or small jar ?.</h2><h2 />
We will determine which has the best value for money using the quantity a pound can purchase.
firstly for the large jar.
if £4.10 will purchase 540g of honey then,
£1.00 will purchase xg
cross multiplying to find x will have
Hence for the large jar a penny would buy 131.7g of honey
secondly for the small jar
if £2.81 will purchase 360g of honey then,
£1.00 will purchase xg
cross multiplying to find x will have
Hence for the small jar a penny would buy 128.1g of honey
Answer:
x² - 16xy + 64y²
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference of x and 8y is x - 8y
The square of the difference is (x - 8y)² = (x - 8y)(x - 8y)
Expand by multiplying each term in the second factor by each term in the first factor, that is
x(x - 8y) - 8y(x - 8y) ← distribute both parenthesis
= x² - 8xy - 8xy + 64y² ← collect like terms
= x² - 16xy + 64y²
