So the easiest method to find the vertex (the minimum in this case) to do this is to find the axis of symmetry, then plug it into the function.
Firstly, the equation to find the axis of symmetry is
, with b = x coefficient and a = x^2 coefficient. The equation equation can be solved as such:

Since the vertex falls on the axis of symmetry, we know that the x-coordinate of the vertex is -2.5. Now to solve for the y-coordinate, plug in x with -2.5 and solve as such:

Now putting it all together, our minimum value (vertex) is (-2.5,-12.25).
Answer:
30.594
Step-by-step explanation:
To find perimeter we need to find the length of all the sides
The coordinates are A(-3,4), B(7,2), C(6,-3), D (-4,-1)
To find the length of side , we use distance formula

Side 
Side 
Side 
Side 
To find perimeter we add all the sides
10.198 + 5.099 + 10.198 + 5.099= 30.594
the perimeter of the rectangle= 30.594
6 * 6^4 can be rewritten as 6^1 * 6^4
Using the rule of multiplication / exponent addition, we find that this is equal to 6^(1+4) =
Answer: Yes b/c everything gets multiplied by 2
so, you are tryign to figure out how many times you can get 2.5 into 8.5.
it is about 3.4
