Rewrite the given equation as

.
Since

, you can conclude that the imimum value of y will be gained for the minimum value of

. The minimum value of

is 0 for x=2.
So, y(2)=0+4=4.
Answer: minimum value of y is 4, when x=2.
The question is saying that if you buy 5 lbs, you have to pay $2.49. That means that 1 lb is $2.49/5 which (rounded to the nearest cent) is $0.50
For this, we will be using the quadratic formula, which is
, with a=x^2 coefficient, b=x coefficient, and c = constant. Our equation will look like this: 
Firstly, solve the multiplications and the exponents: 
Next, do the addition: 
Next, your equation will be split into two:
. Solve them separately, and your answer will be
Answer:
16 units
Step-by-step explanation:
period = length of an interval that contains exactly one copy of the repeating pattern, so from one peak to another peak.
in this graph its the peaks are 1 and 17, hence the period is 16
