Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
solving for dy/dx
multiply the equation out to remove parentheses

now differentiating in terms of x (
)

isolating dy/dx to one side



Yes you have a good example.
x = number of cookies
2*x = total amount spent on cookies at $2 each
2x-3 = amount you pay after the $3 discount is applied one time for the entire order
-------------
a more numeric example may be this
Lets say you bought 12 cookies, so x = 12
This means it costs 2*x = 2*12 = 24 dollars total if the discount doesnt apply
However, the 3 dollar discount is there, so the grand total is 24-3 = 21 dollars.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
No it doesn't. When you get stuck on a question like this one, you should go to Desmos and graph the equation. I've done that for you.
Correctly stated the equation should read f(x) = (x + 2)^2 + 4
As you can see from the graph the vertex is at -2,4. To find the x value of the vertex, create a small equation
x + 2 = 0
x = - 2
That will turn what is inside the brackets into 0. The value for x is always what will turn (x + a) to zero.
