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

Today, everything at a store is on sale. The store offers a 20% discount.
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

a) $19.2

b) 0.8x

c) $17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We want to find the discount price given the regular price

The discount is 20%

so the discount price will be;

24 - 20% of 24

24 - 4.8 = $19.2

b) We have this as;

x - (20% of x)

x - 0.2x = 0.8x

c) let the original price be x

x - 20% of x = 14

x - 0.2x = 14

0.8x = 14

x = 14/0.8

x = $17.5

Round 17.641 to the nearest whole number
vfiekz [6]
The nearest whole number would be 18 because the 6 is greater than 5. Anything greater than five, would most likely be rounded to the nearest whole number. Hope this helped!
