First,

We are dealing with parabola since the equation has a form of,

y=ax^2+bx+c

Here the vertex of an up - down facing parabola has a form of,

x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}

The parameters we have are,

a=-5,b=-10, c=6

Plug them in vertex formula,

x_v=-\dfrac{-10}{2(-5)}=-1

Plug in the x_v into the equation,

y_v=-5(-1)^2-10(-1)+6=11

We now got a point parabola vertex with coordinates,

(x_v, y_v)\Longrightarrow(-1,11)

From here we emerge two rules:

  • If a then vertex is max value
  • If a>0 then vertex is min value

So our vertex is minimum value since,

a=-5\Longleftrightarrow a

Hope this helps.

What is the quotient? URGENT!!
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to multiply by converting the second fraction into upside down :

\frac{4x + 1}{6x}  \div  \frac{x}{3x - 1}

=  \frac{4x + 1}{6x}  \times  \frac{3x  -  1}{x}

=  \frac{(4x + 1)(3x - 1)}{x(6x)}

=  \frac{12 {x}^{2}   -  4x + 3x - 1}{6 {x}^{2} }

=  \frac{12 {x}^{2} - x - 1 }{6 {x}^{2} }
