9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a)  none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest exponent in the function shown is 2. That makes it a 2nd-degree function, also called a quadratic function. The graph of such a function is a parabola -- a U-shaped curve.

The coefficient of the highest-degree term is the "leading coefficient." In this case, that is the coefficient of the x² term, which is 1. When the leading coefficient of an even-degree function is positive, the U curve has its open end at the top of the graph. We say it "opens upward." (When the leading coefficient is negative, the curve opens downward.)

This means the bottom of the U is the minimum value the function has. For a quadratic in the form ax²+bx+c, the horizontal location of the minimum on the graph is at x=-b/(2a). This extreme point on the curve is called the "vertex."

This function has a=1, b=1, and c=3. The minimum of the function is where ...

  x = -b/(2·a) = -1/(2·1) = -1/2

This value is not listed among the answer choices, so the correct choice for this function is ...

  none of the above

__

The attached graph of the function confirms that the minimum is located at x=-1/2

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

When you're studying quadratic functions, there are few formulas that you might want to keep handy. The formula for the location of the vertex is one of them.

Emma has addressed seven invitations to her
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by working backwards.

7 is one more than half the number of invitations.

Subtract 1.  6 is half the number of invitations.

Double.

12 is the full number of invitations.

Algebra (if you must!):

x = number of invitations

x/2 + 1 = 7

Subtract 1.

x/2 = 6

Multiply by 2.

x = 12

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so they used  a total of  560  units

we are next told that if the units of usage are 360 or less use the 1st formula, but there is morn than 360 units in the given amount so use the 2nd formula

0.1(x-360+54)

0.1(560-360) + 54 = monthly bill

20+54 = monthly bill

74 = monthly bill

answer D looks good
