Answer:

The minimum value = -38

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ f(x) = x² - 12x - 2

∵ -12x ÷ 2 = -6x ⇒ -6 × x

∴ (x - 6)² = x² - 12x + 36

∴ Add and subtract 36 in f(x)

∴ f(x) = (x² - 12x + 36) - 36 - 2

∴ f(x) = (x - 6)² - 38 ⇒ completing square

∴ The vertex of the parabola is (6 , -38)

∵ Its minimum point because the coefficient of x² is positive

∴ The minimum value = -38

HELP ME ASAP. The answer is -10 but explain it how to do it step by step. -6+(-30) divided by 5-(-2)
Alex777 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Following the order of operations we would first divide -30 by 5 which would give us -6

-6 + (-30) ÷ 5 - (-2)

From here we can add -6 + -6 = -12

-6 + (-6) - (-2)

When subtracting a negative number, the two negatives changes it to a positive. (-12) - (-2) = (-12) + 2 which would give us -10

(-12) - (-2) = -10

~Hope this helps!~
