Inimum value of y=4x^2+4x-35?

1 answer:

8 0

Hello there!

There are two ways to find the minimum value of this function, but before I show you how, I am going to teach you a little bit about minimum value.

The minimum value on a parabola is the vertex or turning point. This means that the slope of the tangent line is horizontal, having a slope of 0.

The algebraic way to find the minimum or maximum value on a parabola is to use the formula -b/2a. Let's do it...

y=4x^2+4x-35
where a=4, b=4, and c=-35
-b/2a
-4/2(4)
-4/8
-1/2

Now let me show you the other way...
Take the derivative of
y=4x^2+4x-35
y'=8x+4
And set it equal to 0...
8x+4=0
8x=-4
x=-1/2

We got the same answer. Now that we know x=-1/2, plug this into the original equation to find y.
y=4x^2+4x-35
y=4(-1/2)^2+4(-1/2)-35
y=-1-2-35
y=-38

So the minimum point on this parabola is (-1/2,-38)

In january of one winter, 3/10 of a wood pile was used in a wood stove. In February, 2/5 of the wood pile was used. What part of

arsen [322]

2/5 is equivalent to 4/10 so at the end of February 4/10 was used up
And at the end of January, 3/10 was used
so 4/10 + 3/10 = 7/10

At the end of February, 7/10 of the wood was used

Bajo del Gualicho has an elevation of - 72 meters. Lago Enriquillo has an elevation of - 46 meters. Note

Harman [31]

Answer: Bajo del Gualicho has a higher elevation than Lago Enriquillo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in this case the "elevations" are negative because are under sea level, we can call it depth.

In this sense, we are given the "elevations" or depths of two places:

Bajo del Gualicho: -72 m

Lago Enriquillo: -46 m

Keeping in mind we are actually talking about the depth of this places, we can say Bajo del Gualicho is deeper than Lago Enriquillo, and this is best expressed with the following inequality:

$G>E$
