Answer: the function g(x) has the smallest minimum y-value.


Explanation:


1) The function f(x) = 3x² + 12x + 16 is a parabola.


The vertex of the parabola is the minimum or maximum on the parabola.


If the parabola open down then the vertex is a maximum, and if the parabola open upward the vertex is a minimum.


The sign of the coefficient of the quadratic term tells whether the parabola opens upward or downward.


When such coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upward (so it has a minimum); when the coefficient is negative the parabola opens downward (so it has a maximum).


Here the coefficient is positive (3), which tells that the vertex of the parabola is a miimum.


Then, finding the minimum value of the function is done by finding the vertex.

I will change the form of the function to the vertex form by completing squares:

Given: 3x² + 12x + 16

Group: (3x² + 12x) + 16
Common factor: 3 [x² + 4x ] + 16
Complete squares: 3[ ( x² + 4x + 4) - 4] + 16
Factor the trinomial: 3 [(x + 2)² - 4] + 16
Distributive property: 3 (x + 2)² - 12 + 16
Combine like terms: 3 (x + 2)² + 4

That is the vertex form: A(x - h)² + k, whch means that the vertex is (h,k) = (-2, 4).


Then the minimum value is 4 (when x = - 2).


2) The othe function is <span>g(x)= 2 *sin(x-pi)
</span>

The sine function goes from -1 to + 1, so the minimum value of sin(x - pi) is - 1.


When you multiply by 2, you just increased the amplitude of the function and obtain the new minimum value is 2 (-1) = - 2


Comparing the two minima, you have 4 vs - 2, and so the function g(x) has the smallest minimum y-value.

Simon pays $9 for 6 visits to swim at the community pool. He pays $18 for 12 visits to swim. How much does it cost for each visi
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

$1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

If you do cost per quantity you would get $9 over 6 visits. Then you divide both sides by 6 because to get to one by 6 it's 6 so when you divide both sides by 6 you would get 1.5 over 1 and all you do is add a zero because you're dealing with money

Hope this helps :)

Please add explanation

The answer is C

The equation has x = 8/10

To get X by itself you need to divide both sides by 8, so the equation should become X = 10/8
