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.

'find the equation of the line shown':
insens350 [35]

Answer:

y = x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is (0, 6).  This is where the line crosses the y-axis.

The slope is 4/4, or 1:  m = 1

The equation of the line is therefore y = x + 6

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x² -5x - 1

f'(x) =2*3x - 5*1 +0

     = 6x - 5

f'(4) = 6*4 - 5

      = 24 - 5

      = 19
