Answer:

The minimum value of f(x) is -21 and it occurs at x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =3x^2-6x-18

Factor out the greatest common factor out of the first two terms

f(x) =3(x^2-2x)-18

Complete the square

-2x/2 =-1  (-1)^2 = 1

Add 1  (But remember the 3 out front so we are really adding 3  so we need to subtract 3 to remain balanced)

f(x) = 3(x^2 -2x+1) -3 -18

f(x) = 3(x-1)^2 -21

This is vertex form

f(x) = a(x-h)^2 +k  where (h,k) is the vertex and a is a constant

The vertex is (1,-21)  

Since a > 0 this opens upward and the vertex is a minimum

The minimum value of f(x) is -21 and it occurs at x = 1

Please can someone help me with this question

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>r = -</em>\frac{6a}{1-5m^2}<em />

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>Rewrite the equation as </em>\sqrt{x} 6a+r/5r<em>  = m</em>

<em>Remove the radical on the left side of the equation by squaring both sides of the equation.</em>

<em>(</em>\sqrt{\frac{6a+r}{5r} )^{2}<em> = m^2</em>

<em>Then, you simplify each of the equation. </em>

<em>Rewrite: (</em>\sqrt{\frac{6a+r}{5r} )^{2}<em> as </em>\frac{6a+r}{5r} = m^{2}<em />

<em>Remove any parentheses if needed.</em>

<em>Solve for r. </em>

<em>Multiply each term by r and simplify."</em>

<em>Multiply both sides of the equation by  5.</em>

<em>6a+r= m^2r⋅(5)</em>

<em>Remove parentheses.</em>

<em>Move 5   to the left of (m ^2)  r </em>

<em>6a+r=5m^2)r</em>

<em>Subtract  5m^2)r  from both sides of the equation.</em>

<em>6a+r-5m^2)r=0</em>

<em>Subtract  6a  from both sides of the equation.</em>

<em>r-5m^2)r=-6a</em>

<em>Factor  r out of  r-5m^2)r  </em>

<em>r(1-5m^2)=-6a</em>

Divide each term by 1-5m^2 and simplify.

r = - \frac{6a}{1-5m^2}

There you go, hope this helps!

Need help with this question; What is the measure of one leg of a right angle given that the hypotenuse measure 14cm and the oth
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

11.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of a right angled triangle can be determined using Pythagoras theorem

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c = hypotenuse

a² + 8² = 14²

a² + 64 = 196

a² = 196 - 64

a² = 132

find the square root of 132

a = 11.5 cm
