Because this is a positive parabola, it opens upwards, like a cup, and the vertex dictates what the minimum value of the function is. In order to determine the vertex, I recommend completing the square. Do that by first setting the function equal to 0 and then moving the 9 to the other side by subtraction. So far:

. Now, to complete the square, take half the linear term, square it, and add that number to both sides. Our linear term is 6. Half of 6 is 3 and 3 squared is 9. So add 9 to both sides.

. The right side reduces to 0, and the left side simplifies to the perfect square binomial we created while completing this process.

. Move the 0 back over and the vertex is clear now. It is (-3, 0). Therefore, 0 is the minimum point on your graph. The first choice above is the one you want.
-6x=-36 then u divide by -6 so it is...
x=6
Answer:
x=72 and the exterior angle is 154
Step-by-step explanation:
We will call the unknown angle in the triangle y. Angle y and the angle (2x +10) form a straight line so they make 180 degrees.
y + 2x+10 =180
Solve for y by subtracting 2x+10 from each side.
y + 2x+10 - (2x+10) =180 - (2x+10)
y = 180-2x-10
y = 170-2x
The three angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees
x+ y+ 82 = 180
x+ (170-2x)+82 = 180
Combine like terms
-x +252=180
Subtract 252 from each side
-x+252-252 = 180-252
-x = -72
Multiply each side by -1
-1*-x = -72*-1
x=72
The exterior angle is 2x+10. Substitute x=72 into the equation.
2(72)+10
144+10
154
