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.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The amount after 4 years = $ 16198.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

Compound interest

A = P[1 + R/n]^nt

Were A - Amount

P - Principle

R - Rate of interest

t - Number of years

n - Number of times compounded

<u>To find the amount</u>

Here P = $11,800, R = 8% = 0.08, t = 4 years and n = 4 times

A = P[1 + R/n]^nt

 =  11800[1 + 0.08/4]^(4 * 4)

 = 16198.87

Therefore amount after 4 years = $ 16198.87
