Answer:
X= -20
Step-by-step explanation:
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
Answer:
a) P = 2/7
b) P = 4/7
c) P = 1/7
Step-by-step explanation:
In the range of [2,8], we have the following integers which are: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. So this is a total of 7 integers.
a) We look for the probability that the numbers are less than 4, so we conclude that there are possible numbers 2 and 3 out of possible 7, so the required probability is equal to P = 2/7.
b) We look for the probability that the numbers are greater than 4, so we conclude that there are possible numbers 5, 6, 7, 8 out of possible 7, so the required probability is equal to P = 4/7.
c) Based on the previous two examples, we conclude that the required probability is P = 2/7· 1/2=1/7.
