between 1995 and 2006, the population of samburg, usa(in thousands) can be modeled by f(x) = 0.35x(squared) - 2.1x+15.8 where x=

0 represents 1995. Based on this model, in what year did the population of samburg reached it's minimum?

\bf f(x)=0.35x^2-2.1x+15.8\qquad 
\begin{cases}
x=\textit{year since 1995}\\
f(x)=\textit{population amount}
\end{cases}

the equation is a quadratic one, and it has a positive coefficient on the leading term, meaning, is opening upwards, so it has a "burrow" for the vertex.

the minimum or lowest point for a quadratic opening upwards is, well, the vertex point :),   the "x" value is the year, the "y" or f(x) value is the population, we're asked for the year, or the x-coordinate of the vertex

well   \bf \begin{array}{llll}
f(x)=&0.35x^2&-2.1x&+15.8\\
&\quad \uparrow &\quad \uparrow&\uparrow \\
&\quad  a&\quad  b &c
\end{array}
\\\\

\\\\
\qquad  \textit{vertex of a parabola}\\ \quad \\
\qquad 

\left(\boxed{-\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}}}\quad ,\quad  {{ c}}-\cfrac{{{ b}}^2}{4{{ a}}}\right)

A certain connected graph has 68 vertices and 72 edges. Does it have a circuit?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a graph G doesn't have a circuit, we must have that

|E(G)|=|V(G)|-1

where |E(G)| is the number of edges of the graph and |V(G)| the number of vertices. However, in this case it holds that

|E(G)|=72>68=|V(G)|.
