Answer:
4 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of 7k "minutes past nine" is the same as 8k" minutes to ten".
Since there are 60 minutes in an hour and 9 and 10 fall in between the same hour, this means that:
7k = 60 - 8k
7k + 8k = 60
15k = 60
k = 60 / 15
k = 4 minutes
4⅗.78 99⁹7./⅜87.5⅞8 /7 ⁰
if you rearrange to complete the square, you get (x^2-4)^2 +4
and seeing as anything squared will always be positive or zero, the lowest possible value for (x^2-4)^2 is 0, when x = 4
and 0 + 4 = 4, which is greater than 0, so positive
