34 petals round down to 30

57 sunflowers round up to 60

so you are only 1 off, 34 - 30 = 4 // 60 - 57 = 3 // 4 - 3 = 1

30 * 60 = 1800 is the best estimate

the function of y= x^2 - 4x + 8 approximates the height y, of a bird and its horizontal distance, x as it flies from one fence p

Vika [28.1K]

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.
