The veretx is normally the minimum value
hack:
for f(x)=ax²+bx+c
the x value of the vertex is -b/2a
so
f(x)=1x²-16x+71
x value is -(-16)/(2*1)=16/2=8
find f(8) to find y value of vertex
f(8)=8²-16(8)+71
f(8)=64-128+71
f(8)=7
the vertex is (8,7)
the minimum value is 7
Your answer is 25/40 hope this helps ;)
Answer:
Ramon's mistake was that he used whole numbers in comparison to decimals, which is not an accurate way to solve. Think about it this way, 0.1 is the tens place, 0.01 is the hundreds place. Which would be greater 100% of the time? The hundreds place, in decimal terms, the hundredths.
0.09 is greater than 0.1
<u><em>x=5/8 is the correct answer.</em></u><em> </em>First you had to simplify from both sides of equation, and it gave us, 
. Then you add 1/4 from both sides of equation, and it gave us, 
. And it gave us the answer is<u><em> </em></u><u><em>x=5/8 is the final answer. </em></u>Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day. -Charlie
