Rewrite the given equation as 
y=x^2-4x+8=x^2-4x+4+4=(x-2)^2+4.
Since (x-2)^2\ge 0, you can conclude that the imimum value of y will be gained for the minimum value of (x-2)^2. The minimum value of (x-2)^2 is 0 for x=2. 
So, y(2)=0+4=4.
Answer: minimum value of y is 4, when x=2.

12n^2+12n+9=0<br> Please solve!
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

n = (1/2)(-1 ± i√2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the several ways in which quadratic equations can be solved is the quadratic formula.  Putting to use the coefficients {12, 12, 9}, we obtain the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac:  12^2 - 4(12)(9) = 144 - 432 = -288.  The negative sign of this discriminant tells us that the quadratic has two unequal, complex roots.  These roots are:

      -b ± √(discriminant)

n = ---------------------------------

                 2a

Here we have:

      -12 ± √(-288)           -12 ± i√2√144          -12 ± i12√2

n = ----------------------  =  ------------------------ =  --------------------

            2(12)                             24                           24

or:

n = (1/2)(-1 ± i√2)

1) Two numbers are in the ratio 5: 6. If 8 is added to each of the numbers, they will be in the ratio 7: 8. Find the numbers.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

20 and 24

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write 5:6 as 5x:6x. You know that 5x+8=7x or that 6x+8=8x. You can solve either one and then you get x=4. Then you can plug it in. I hope this is helpful!
