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.

Can someone solve Pythagorean theorem​
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

48 units

b= 48 units

Step-by-step explanation:

pythag is a^2+b^2=c^2

we have a and c

so substitute them in

14^2+b^2=50^2

now you can solve

196+b^2=2500

subtract 196 from both sides

b^2=2500-196

subtract

2500 - 196 = 2304

b^2=2304

solve for the square root

square root of 2304= 48

therefore b= 48 units

Jonah recorded the points his team scored during its last nine basketball
Ainat [17]

Jonah recorded the points his team scored during its last nine basketball

games. The mean number of points scored was 42 and the MAD Was 4.4.

The MAD shows that the scores generally varied greatly from the mean.

The scores were mostly less than

38 (42 -4.4 = 37.6)

greater than

46 (42 + 4.4 = 46.4).
