ANSWER
x \: > \: 17

EXPLANATION

The given function is

f(x) = 2 {x}^{2} - 31x - 51
Let us split the middle term to get,

f(x) = 2 {x}^{2} -34x + 3x- 51

We factor to obtain,

f(x) = 2x(x - 17) -+3(x - 17)

f(x) = (2x -+3)(x -17)

Let us find the zeros of f(x),

(2x +3)(x - 17) = 0

Either

2x +3 = 0 \: or \: x - 17 = 0
x = -\frac{3}{2} \: or \: x = 17

We need to find the x-value of the vertex, which is the midpoint of the x-intercepts.

This gives us,

\frac{- \frac{3}{2} + 17}{2} = 7.75
Hence the axis of symmetry of the parabola has equation,

x = 7.75

Since the given function has minimum turning point, it will decrease and then increase.

The function will be increasing for
x \: > \: 7.75

The function will be increasing and positive for
x \: > \: 17

On Tuesday the temperature is 1 ºC. By Wednesday it has dropped to –2 ºC. The temperature drops by twice as much from Wednesday
Finger [1]

Answer: -8^{\circ}C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The temperature on Tuesday is 1^{\circ}C

Temperature drops to -2^{\circ}C on Wednesday

Net drop in temperature 1-(-2)=3^{\circ}C

The temperature drops twice from Wednesday to Thursday

\Delta T=2\times 3=6^{\circ}C

Temperature on Thursday

\Rightarrow -2-6=-8^{\circ}C
