Answer:
yes, straight line crosses through the origin. x increases and y increases.
Answer:
B. A numerical expression
The veretx is normally the minimum value
hack:
for f(x)=ax²+bx+c
the x value of the vertex is -b/2a
so
f(x)=1x²-16x+71
x value is -(-16)/(2*1)=16/2=8
find f(8) to find y value of vertex
f(8)=8²-16(8)+71
f(8)=64-128+71
f(8)=7
the vertex is (8,7)
the minimum value is 7
14 3/5 as a decimal would be 14.6
