The answer is -40 because if you get rid of the negative sign and add instead of subtract... you get 40 so its like adding in the opposite direction.
F(x)= (x-p)²+q where (p,q) is min point
f(x)=(x-1)²-2
min point is (1,-2)
the answer is first picture
Ok so to solve to first one u do this:
62.4 - 31.53, which gives u 30.87. and then u add 30.87 and 31.33, and u get 62.4
for the second one u do the same thing.
