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.

Answer:

A=80

B=31

C=64

Step-by-step explanation:

A, 69, and b will equal 180 since it forms a straight line

A+69+b=180

to solve for A we subtract 53+47 from 180 and get 80

80+69+b=180

to get B we subtract 80+69 from 180 and get 31

to get c we add 85+b and subtract it from 180 getting c=64
