All of those numbers have nothing but ones digits, that is, they're all single digits. j=4, k=5, and n=6.
The first stone will be 10-in wide
The last stone will be 10-in wide
The stones in the middle will be alternating between 5-in and 10-in stones, making a total of 15-in
Total width = 145-in
Width after placing first and last stones = 145 - 20 = 125-in
Number of 15-in patterns incorporated in 125-in:
125/15 = 8.33
Therefore, he will place 8 10-inch stones within and 9 5-inch stones within the patter.
The total 10-inch stones used = 8 + 2 = 10
The values of b and c are -4 and 4 respectively
<h3>How to determine the values of b and c?</h3>
The function is given as:
f(x) = x^2 + bx + c
Differentiate f(x)
f'(x) = 2x + b
Set to 0
2x + b = 0
Solve for b
b = -2x
The minimum is (2, 0).
So, we have:
b = -2 * 2
b = -4
Substitute b = -4 in f(x) = x^2 + bx + c
f(x) = x^2 - 4x + c
Substitute (2, 0)
0 = (2)^2 - 4(2) + c
This gives
0 = 4 - 8 + c
Evaluate
c = 4
Hence, the values of b and c are -4 and 4 respectively
