f(x) has the smallest minimum. The minimum value of f(x) is -3
The largest sin(x) can get is 1.
This applies to sin(2x-pi) as well. So f(x) is as small as -5*(1)+2 = -5+2 = -3.
You can see this each time the red curve bottoms out at y = -3.
The smallest that g(x) can get is y = -2 as shown at the vertex (3,-2)
The smallest that h(x) can get is y = 3 as shown by the point (1,3)
See the attachment for a visual comparison of the three functions.
The answer is 9,520 I think
Given:
40 pages in 1.6 minutes
40 / 1.6 = 25 pages per minute
25 x 5 minutes = 125 pages
40 / 1.6 = x / 5
40*5 = 1.6x
200 = 1.6x
200/1.6 = x
125 = x pages
25 : 1 = 150 : x
25x = 150
x = 150/25
x = 6 minutes
