7 people so first one shakes hand with the remaining people. that is 6

The 2nd person also shakes hand with 6 persons but we have already counted his handshake with first person. so we have to add 6-1 = 5 shakes for 2nd person

like wise 3rd person shakes hand with the remaining 6-2 = 4 people

4th person with 6-3=3 people

5th person with 6-4= 2 persons

6th person with 6-5=1 person

and 7th one with no one because already he has shaken his hand with everyone.

since these people shake their hands with others only once we just have to add the obtained values

6+5 +4+3+2+1= 21

totally 21 handshakes will be there in that room

Answer:

The minimum value of f(x) is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

  • To find the minimum value of the function f(x), you should find the value of x which has the minimum value of y, so we will use the differentiation to find it
  • Differentiate f(x) with respect to x and equate it by 0 to find x, then substitute the value of x in f(x) to find the minimum value of f(x)

∵ f(x) = 2x² - 4x + 4

→ Find f'(x)

∵ f'(x) = 2(2)x^{2-1} - 4(1)x^{1-1} + 0

∴ f'(x) = 4x - 4

→ Equate f'(x) by 0

∵ f'(x) = 0

∴ 4x - 4 = 0

→ Add 4 to both sides

∵ 4x - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4

∴ 4x = 4

→ Divide both sides by 4

∴ x = 1

→ The minimum value is f(1)

∵ f(1) = 2(1)² - 4(1) + 4

∴ f(1) = 2 - 4 + 4

∴ f(1) = 2

∴ The minimum value of f(x) is 2
