Answer:
a = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming that the equation is a + 8/3 = 2/3, and you are supposed to solve for a.
B is the correct answer choice,you didn’t hear it from me
Answer: the function g(x) has the smallest minimum y-value.
Explanation:
1) The function f(x) = 3x² + 12x + 16 is a parabola.
The vertex of the parabola is the minimum or maximum on the parabola.
If the parabola open down then the vertex is a maximum, and if the parabola open upward the vertex is a minimum.
The sign of the coefficient of the quadratic term tells whether the parabola opens upward or downward.
When such coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upward (so it has a minimum); when the coefficient is negative the parabola opens downward (so it has a maximum).
Here the coefficient is positive (3), which tells that the vertex of the parabola is a miimum.
Then, finding the minimum value of the function is done by finding the vertex.
I will change the form of the function to the vertex form by completing squares:
Given: 3x² + 12x + 16
Group: (3x² + 12x) + 16
Common factor: 3 [x² + 4x ] + 16
Complete squares: 3[ ( x² + 4x + 4) - 4] + 16
Factor the trinomial: 3 [(x + 2)² - 4] + 16
Distributive property: 3 (x + 2)² - 12 + 16
Combine like terms: 3 (x + 2)² + 4
That is the vertex form: A(x - h)² + k, whch means that the vertex is (h,k) = (-2, 4).
Then the minimum value is 4 (when x = - 2).
2) The othe function is <span>g(x)= 2 *sin(x-pi)
</span>
The sine function goes from -1 to + 1, so the minimum value of sin(x - pi) is - 1.
When you multiply by 2, you just increased the amplitude of the function and obtain the new minimum value is 2 (-1) = - 2
Comparing the two minima, you have 4 vs - 2, and so the function g(x) has the smallest minimum y-value.
Answer:
12 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is calculated by adding all up the sides of a shape. In this case, the shape is a square, considering that all the sides are the same measurements. 3+3+3+3 can be simplified to 3x4. This gives you 12 in. as the perimeter.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of blue line:
blue line is parallel to y-axis
⇒ x = 5
Equation of green line:
Green line is parallel to x-axis.
y = 2
Equation of red line:
At y-intercept x = 0. Point on red line is (0,5)
So, y-intercept = 5
y = mx + b Here, m is slope any b is y-intercept.
y = mx + 5
Now, choose any other point in red line. ((1,7)
Substitute this value in the above equation and we can find m
7 = m*1 + 5
7 - 5 = m
m = 2
y = 2x + 5
Equation of black line:
Black line and red line are parallel and so, they have same slope.
y = 2x + b
y-intercept (0,-6) ; b = -6
y = 2x - 6
