What is the minimum value of the function g(x) = x2 - 6x – 12?<br> -21<br> 3-21<br> 3<br> 3+21

balandron [24]

Answer:

- 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum value occurs at the vertex of the function

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

To obtain this form use the method of completing the square

Given

f(x) = x² - 6x - 12

add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 6x

f(x) = x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 - 9 - 12

= (x - 3)² - 21

with vertex = (3, - 21 )

The minimum is the value of k, that is minimum value = - 21

Suppose that 45% of people have dogs. If two people are randomly chosen, what is the probability that they both have a dog

mylen [45]

Answer:

$P(Dogs) = 0.2025$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Proportion, p = 45\%$

Required

Probability of two people having dog

First, we have to convert the given parameter to decimal

$p = \frac{45}{100}$

$p = 0.45$

Let P(Dogs) represent the required probability;

This is calculated as thus;

<em>P(Dogs) = Probability of first person having a dog * Probability of second person having a dog</em>

<em />

$P(Dogs) = p * p$

$P(Dogs) = 0.45 * 0.45$

$P(Dogs) = 0.45^2$

$P(Dogs) = 0.2025$

<em>Hence, the probability of 2 people having a dog is </em> $P(Dogs) = 0.2025$ <em />

A rectangular block of metal measures 5 cm by 10 cm by 2 cm and has a mass of 700g. What is the density of the block of metal?

masha68 [24]

Volume = 5 cm * 10 cm * 2 cm
volume = 100 cm³
massa = 700 g
Densidade = massa / volume
D = 700/100
D = 7 g / cm³
