Answer:
y = -2·x^2 - 5·x - 18
y = -2·(x^2 + 10·x + 36)
y = -2·(x^2 + 10·x + 36)
y = -2·(x - (-5 - √11·i))·(x - (-5 + √11·i))
Maybe there is a typo in the original question, because there is no factorisation in the real numbers.
Because the question is " find the minimum value of y" the coefficient before x^2 must be a positive number. so it could be
y = 2·x^2 - 5·x - 18

The charge Q is 512 c.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
The equation is
, where q and Q are the charges, R is the distance between the charges, and F is the force between the charges.
From the question, we have;
F = 40 Newton, R = 16 m and q = 20 C.
We need to calculate Q.
Step 2:
By substituting the values of F, R, and q in the equation, we get
.
We cross multiply to solve Q.

So Q = 512 C.
