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.

A stone is thrown vertically upward from a platform that is 20 feet height at a rate of 160 ft/sec. Use the quadratic function h

Nutka1998 [239]

Check the picture below.

$\textit{vertex of a vertical parabola, using coefficients} \\\\ y=\stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{-16}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{+160}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{+20} \qquad \qquad \left(-\cfrac{ b}{2 a}~~~~ ,~~~~ c-\cfrac{ b^2}{4 a}\right)$

$\left(-\cfrac{ 160}{2(-16)}~~~~ ,~~~~ 20-\cfrac{ (160)^2}{4(-16)}\right) \implies \left( - \cfrac{ 160 }{ -32 }~~,~~20 - \cfrac{ 25600 }{ -64 } \right) \\\\\\ \left( 5 ~~~~ ,~~~~ 20 +400 \right)\implies (\stackrel{seconds}{5}~~,~~\stackrel{feet}{420})$
