F(x) = 3x² + 6x - 1

The graph is a parabola open upward (a= 3>0) with a minimum.

Calculate the vertex:

x = -b/2a → x = -6/(2.3) = -1. Then the axis of symmetry is x = - 1
Now to calculate the minimum, plugin the value of x:

y = 3x² + 6x - 1

y = 3(-1)² + 6(-1) -1

y= 3 - 6 -1 and y = - 4,

Ten the vertex (minimum) is at (-1,- 4)

Jennifer sold 57 pieces of art if she sold twice as many paintings as sculptures how many painting did she sell??

Westkost [7]

so we know she has sculptures and paintings, if she sold twice as many paintings as sculptures, that means that for every 2 paintings, she sold 1 sculpture, so the paintings and sculptures are on a 2:1 ratio.

we know she sold a total of 57, so we'll need to split 57 in a 2:1 ratio, we'll simply divide the whole amount of 57 by (2+1) and distribute accordingly.

$\bf \cfrac{paintings}{sculptures}\qquad 2:1\qquad \cfrac{2}{1}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{2\cdot \frac{57}{2+1}}{1\cdot \frac{57}{2+1}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 19}{1\cdot 19}\implies \cfrac{\boxed{38}}{19}$
