How to find the minimum value of f(x) = 3x (x - 4)?

Mathematics

DaniilM [7]3 years ago
4 0

well, let's first off, expand the expression, 3x(x-4) => 3x²-12x, which we can also write as

f(x) = 3x² - 12x + 0

now, this is a quadratic equation with a leading term with a positive coefficient, namely its graph is a parabola, or a Cup-Shaped figure, so the graph comes from the top, goes down down down, reaches a U-turn, then goes back up up up.

the U-turn, or vertex of the quadratic, is the lowest point in the "cup".


\bf \textit{vertex of a vertical parabola, using coefficients} \\\\ \stackrel{f(x)}{y}=\stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{3}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{-12}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{+0} \qquad \qquad \left(-\cfrac{ b}{2 a}~~~~ ,~~~~ c-\cfrac{ b^2}{4 a}\right) \\\\\\ \left( -\cfrac{(-12)}{2(3)}~~,~~0-\cfrac{(-12)^2}{4(3)} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{12}{6}~,~0-\cfrac{144}{12} \right)\implies (2~,~-12)

If a train travels 80 m/s in two hours and 20 minutes, how far has it traveled?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

distance = 585600 m

Step-by-step explanation:

change 2 hours 20 minutes to seconds

2  hrs * 60 minutes/1hr * 60 sec/min = 7200 sec

20 minutes * 60 sec/min = 120 sec

2 hr 20 min = 7320 seconds

distance = rate * time

distance = 80 m/s * 7320 s = 585600 m

TAKE ANY UNMARKED BOWL OR GLASS AND FILL IT EXACTLY 3/5 FULL WITH WATER.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Take a glass, and fill it completely with water.

Now, pour that water in a marked bowl and measure how much water is in the bowl, that amount of water will be 100% of the total water that the glass can have.

Now you need to pour 3/5 of the water back in the glass, it is easier for water until the water in the bowl is exactly 2/5 of the initial amount.

You can do this as follows.

2/5 = 0.4 or 40% in percentage form.

Then if the amount of water in the marked bowl is A, the amount of water that must remain in the marked bowl is A*0.4

Then drop the water in the glass until the water in the marked bowl is the quantity that you found previously.

In this way, you can be sure that the glass is 3/5 full of water.
