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 a line given the point and slope below.
Levart [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{y - 6}{x - 3}  =  - 3

- 3(x - 3) = y - 6

- 3x + 9 = y - 6

y =  - 3x + 9  + 6 =  - 3x + 15

Two trains leave stations 560 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels at 90 miles per hour
lana [24]

Answer: the two trains will meet in 2.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Speed of train A  = 90mph

Speed of train B = 110 mph

Since both trains  are travelling towards each other , their effective speed will be= 90 mph + 110mph= 200mph

Step 2

we know that Speed = distance / time

therefore Time = Distance / speed

Distance = 560 miles

Speed = 200 mph

Time = 560miles / 200mph

2.8 hours
