Answer:
x = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a vertical line is
x = c
where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through
the line passes through the x- intercept of - 1 , then
x = - 1 ← equation of vertical line
To find it, evaluate it at the endpoints and the vertex
in form
f(x)=ax²+bx+c
the x value of the vertex is -b/2a
given
c(t)=1t²-10t+76
x value of vertex is -(-10)/1=10
evaluate c(0) and c(13) and c(10)
c(0)=76
c(13)=115
c(10)=76
it reached minimum in 2000 and 2010
porbably teacher wants 2010
the min value is $76
First term = T(1) is obtained by plugging n = 1 into the formula,
thus First term = 1^2 - 4 = 1 - 4
= 3 (answer)
