Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 9 +2x + 9 = 2x - 2
5x = 2x - 2
5x - 2x = - 2
3x = - 2
x= - 2/ 3
First of all, we convert the equation to a vertex form.


.
The equation in vertex form is

. By looking at the equation we can understand that the y value of the vertex point is -6. By further calculation we can verify that the x value of the vertex point is -3.
Now, there are two ways of finding if the vertex point is a maximum or a minimum. The first way is picking random x coordinates after and before the y vertex value. If the values of y decrease before the y vertex point and increase afterwards, the vertex is a minimum. If the values of y increase before the y vertex point and then decrease afterwards, the vertex is a maximum point. The second way is applying teh second derivative. Here, I will show you the way of doing it:



The result proves two facts about the function:
1. The function has only one vertex/turning point.
2. The vertex/turning point is a minimum (due to the result of the second derivative being positive).
The answer is C.
Oh the LCM is 30. I know this because 6 times 5 is 30 and 10 times three is 30
Log base 4 16 asks the question "How many times do multiply 4 to itself to get to 16? Well two times: 4 * 4 = 16
