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.

HELP PLZ!!!!!!! Is the following graph a function?
Stels [109]
This graph does not represent a function because the x-intercepts repeat themselves several times. In order for a graph or group of coordinates to be a function, there must be only one of a particular x-coordinate.

Please help me write quadratic equation given the roots and the leading coefficient
Pie

Answer:

Example Question: f(x) = 2x^2 + 2x - 1


If the leading coefficient is positive, the graph will be opening up (U) if the leading coefficient is negative, the graph will be opening down (n)


Roots are the x-intercepts that help find the axis of symmetry (add the two roots together and divide the result by 2 to get the axis of symmetry)


To find the vertex, simply imput the axis of symmetry into the given equation.


And that’s about it.
