F(x)=2x²+18x+16
1) we have to calculate the first derived.
f´(x)=4x+18
2) Now, we equalize the first derived to "0" and find out the value of "x"
4x+18=0
4x=-18
x=-18/4=-4.5
3)we calculate the second derived
f´´(x)=4>0 ⇒we have a minimum at x=-4.5
4) Now we calculate the value of "y".
f(-4.5)=2(-4.5)²+18(-4.5)+16=40.5-81+16=-24.5
Therefore; Exist a minimum at (-4.5 , -24.5)
Sequence and series are very important.
Because with the help of number sequences and series formulas, you can perform Quantitative Analysis, Financial and Business Analysis to help you in important business and investment decisions.

The graph is touching the x-axis at x= 2 and is turning away.
When a graph exhibit such a behavior at a root, we say that the multiplicity of the root is 2. So the roots of the polynomial are x = 2 and x = 2. The factors of the polynomial are (x - 2) and (x - 2)
The polynomial thus can be written as product of its factors as (x-2)(x-2)
So the correct answer to this question is option B
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Using the rule of exponents
=
, then
=
= 
Its basically the opposite
ex: 4+4 = 8 helps you do 8-4=4
