Answer:

Exterme Value: (2,4).

The bird reaches its minimum height which is 4ft affter covering a horizontal distance of 2 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is y=x^2-4x+8.

We add and subtract the square of half the coefficient of x.

y=x^2-4x+(-2)^2-(-2)^2+8.

The first three terms form a perfect quadratic trinomial.

y=(x-2)^2+4.

This function is now written in the form y=a(x-h)^2+k, where (h,k) is the extreme value(vertex).

The extreme value or the vertex is (2,4).

Interpretation:

The bird reaches its minimum height which is 4ft affter covering a horizontal distance of 2 ft.

A contemporary building has a window in the shape of a parallelogram with a base of 90 in and an adjacent side of 40 in. How man
BaLLatris [955]

260 inches of trim are needed to surround the​ window.

<h3 /><h3>What is the surface area?</h3>

The total land area of all the faces of a three-dimensional object is its surface area. When we wish to wrap something in real life, we employ the notion of surface areas of distinct things.

Actually, all we need is a trim that is the same size as our window and equal to the parallelogram's circumference, which is

The sum of the side is;

⇒Length of lower side + Length of the upper side

⇒ 90+90

⇒180 inches

The sum of adjacent sides;

Sum of adjacent sides  =  40+40

Sum of adjacent sides  = 80 inches

The length you should trim is needed to surround the​ window is found as;

⇒ 180 inches + 80 inches

⇒260 inches

Hence,260 inches of trim are needed to surround the​ window.
