Answer:

The minimum value of f(x) is -19.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please use parentheses around fractional coefficients to eliminate ambiguity:  f(x)=(1/2)x^2-8x+13.

Because the coefficient of the x^2 term, 1/2, is positive, the graph of this quadratic opens up.  Thus, the vertex represents the minimum of the function.

The equation of the axis of symmetry of this graph is x = -b / (2a).  In this case, x = -(-8) / (2*[1/2]), or x = 8.  Evaluating f(x) at x=8 produces the y coordinate of the vertex:  f(8) = (1/2)(8^2) - 8(8) + 13 = 32 - 64 + 13 = -19.

Thus, the vertex is (8, -19).  The minimum value of f(x) is -19.

The sum of two numbers is 99 and the difference is 13. Use a system of two equations and two variables to solve and find the two
andriy [413]

Answer:

56 and 43

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+13)+x = 99

2x+13 = 99

2x = 99-13

2x = 86

x = 86/2

x = 43

Smaller number = 43

Larger number is 56

Check

56-43 = 13

56+43 = 99

Choose the equation that satisfies the data in the table. in pic
dexar [7]

Question:

Solution:

Note that if we evaluate x = -1, 0, and x=1 in the last equation we get:

y = 3(-1)+ 3 = -3+3 = 0

y = 3(0)+3 = 3

y = 3(1)+3 = 6

So that, we can conclude that the correct solution is

D. y =3x + 3
