Answer:
Option B. minimum is correct for the first blank
Option C. 6 is correct for second blank.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the maxima or minima of a function, we have to take the first derivative and then put it equal to zero to find the critical values.
Given function is:

Taking first derivative

Now the first derivative has to be put equal to zero to find the critical value

The function has only one critical value which is 5.
Taking 2nd derivative


As the value of 2nd derivative is positive for the critical value 5, this means that the function has a minimum value at x = 5
The value can be found out by putting x=5 in the function

Hence,
<u>The function y = x 2 - 10x + 31 has a minimum value of 6</u>
Hence,
Option B. minimum is correct for the first blank
Option C. 6 is correct for second blank.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You already got the first step, where D is the midpoint of AC and AB is congruent to BC, since it's given.
2. AD will be congruent to DC, via the definition of a midpoint (a midpoint is the middle point of a line segment, and it splits the segment into two congruent parts)
3. BD is equal to BD, via reflexive property. ( It's a shared side between the two triangles)
4. that means that ΔADB ≅ΔCDB via SSS rule.
5. ∠ABD ≅∠CDB by CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent)
