Answer:
-9x² + 5x + 11
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x² + (-4x²) + 5x + 2 + 9
-9x² + 5x + 11
Because this is a positive parabola, it opens upwards, like a cup, and the vertex dictates what the minimum value of the function is. In order to determine the vertex, I recommend completing the square. Do that by first setting the function equal to 0 and then moving the 9 to the other side by subtraction. So far:

. Now, to complete the square, take half the linear term, square it, and add that number to both sides. Our linear term is 6. Half of 6 is 3 and 3 squared is 9. So add 9 to both sides.

. The right side reduces to 0, and the left side simplifies to the perfect square binomial we created while completing this process.

. Move the 0 back over and the vertex is clear now. It is (-3, 0). Therefore, 0 is the minimum point on your graph. The first choice above is the one you want.
The answer is -1/16 or -0.0625, do you need to see work?

6 * 1/4 is 6/4
6/4 is 1 2/4 which is 1 1/2
Answer:
c = 8.14 million×(0.9166)^t
4.83 million
Step-by-step explanation:
Data:
t = y - 2007
c₀ = 8.14 million
c₃ = 23 % less than c₁
Part 1. Calculate c₃
c₃ = c₀(1 - 0.23) = 0.77c₀
Part 2. Calculate r
c₃ = c₀r^t
0.77c₀ = c₀r³
0.77 = r³ Divided each side by c₀
r = 0.9166 Took the cube root of each side
The explicit decay model is c = 8.14 million×(0.9166)^t
Part 3. Prediction
t = 2013 - 2007 = 6
c = c₀r^t = 8.14 million×(0.9166)⁶ = 8.14 million × 0.5929 = 4.83 million
The model predicts that there will be 4.83 million cars for sale in 2013.
