Answer:
Option B. minimum is correct for the first blank
Option C. 6 is correct for second blank.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the maxima or minima of a function, we have to take the first derivative and then put it equal to zero to find the critical values.
Given function is:

Taking first derivative

Now the first derivative has to be put equal to zero to find the critical value

The function has only one critical value which is 5.
Taking 2nd derivative


As the value of 2nd derivative is positive for the critical value 5, this means that the function has a minimum value at x = 5
The value can be found out by putting x=5 in the function

Hence,
<u>The function y = x 2 - 10x + 31 has a minimum value of 6</u>
Hence,
Option B. minimum is correct for the first blank
Option C. 6 is correct for second blank.
P(7,6), Q(1,6), R(4,2)
We have PQ parallel to the x axis. We'll call that the base,
b = 7 - 1 = 6
The altitude is then the y difference h = 6 - 2 = 4
The area is 
Answer: 12 square units
In general we can use the shoelace formula for the area of any polygon given coordinates. We write the points like this:
(7,6), (1,6), (4,2)
(1,6), (4,2), (7,6)
The area is then half the absolute value of the sum of the cross products:

Answer: D. 5 blinks</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
First we'll need to find out how long it takes for the ball to go from the pitcher to the batter.
It needs to travel 60.5 feet and does so at a speed of 121 ft/sec
distance = speed*time
time = distance/speed
time = (60.5 ft)/(121 ft per sec)
time = 0.5 seconds
In half a second, the ball is from the pitcher to the batter.
------------
An eye blink is 0.1 second which means we can form this equation
0.1 second = 1 blink
We multiply both sides by 5 to get the "0.1 second" to turn into "0.5 seconds".
So,
0.1 second = 1 blink
5*(0.1 second) = 5*(1 blink)
0.5 seconds = <u>5 blinks</u> which points us to choice D.
Vertical angles are where the top equals the bottom or the left equals the right angle. So we would do:
8x - 13 = 5x + 8
And then substitute.
3x = 21
x = 7
