Answer:
{y | y ≥ -11 }
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer a question like this, it is often helpful to graph the function or to rewrite it to vertex form.
f(x) = 3x^2 +6x -8
f(x) = 3(x^2 +2x) -8 . . . . factor the leading coefficient from x terms
f(x) = 3(x^2 +2x +1) -8 -3(1) . . . . complete the square*
f(x) = 3(x +1)^2 -11
The form of this equation tells you that the graph is a parabola that opens upward. Its vertex is (-1, -11), so the minimum value is -11. The range is the vertical extent of the function values, so goes upward from -11:
y ≥ -11
_____
* Vertex form is ...
f(x) = a(x -h)^2 +k
where "a" is the vertical scale factor and (h, k) is the vertex. When "a" is positive, the parabola opens upward; when it is negative, the parabola opens downward.
The square is completed by adding the square of half the x-coefficient inside parentheses, and subtracting the equivalent amount outside parentheses. Here, we had 2x inside parentheses, so we added (2/2)^2 = 1 inside and -3(1) outside, because "a" was 3.

Pretty sure you just divide 14,136/23,550 and then that percent would be the answer
Answer:
125 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that that surface area of the triangular prism that will be covered with insulation is equal to the area of the two triangular faces, plus the two lateral rectangular faces.
So you get:
SA = 2 [
(15)(15)] + 2 [(30)(15)] = 1,125 ft²
