What is the minimum of y = -x^2- 6x - 7

Mathematics
1 answer:
Firlakuza [10]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

No minimum.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the parabola is given to be y = - x² - 6x - 7 ......... (1)

Now, rearranging the equation we get  

y = - (x² + 6x + 9) - 7 + 9

⇒ y = - (x + 3)² + 2

⇒ y - 2 = - (x + 3)²

⇒ (x + 3)² = - (y - 2) ........ (2)

Now, this equation is similar to the parabola equation (x - α)² = - 4a(y - β), which is the vertex form of a parabola equation.

Therefore, we can say that equation (2) has the vertex at (-3,2) and the axis is parallel to the negative y-axis.

Therefore, the parabola (1) has a maximum at (-3,2)  and it does not have a valid minimum. (Answer)

Use the right triangular prism to find the total surface area of the prism. Leave label off answer.
9966 [12]

Step-by-step explanation:

the total surface area is the sum of the 5 individual areas in the surface :

2 triangle sides (left and right).

1 back rectangle side

1 rectangle floor

1 inclined rectangle front side

to get the length of the baseline (Hypotenuse) of the right-angled triangles on the side. we use Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

where c is the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle).

c² = 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25

c = 5

so, now, we have everything we need.

the area of a triangle side (since it is right-angled) :

4×3/2 = 6

2 sides, that makes 12

the area of the back side

6×3 = 18

the area of the floor

6×4 = 24

the area of the inclined front side

6×5 = 30

so, the total surface area is

12+18+24+30 = 84
