What is the minimum value for h(x)=x2−16x+60?

1 answer:

7 0

Minimum value is equal to x=8, y=-4First find the derivative of the original equation which equals= d/dx(x^2-16x+60) = 2x - 16at x=8, f'(x), the derivative of x equals zero, so therefore, at point x = 8, we have a minimum value.Just plug in 8 to the original equation to find the answer for the minimum value.

Six times a number increased by 20 is four less than eight times the number. Find the number

DaniilM [7]

Greetings!

"Six times a number increased by 20 is four less than eight times the number. Find the number."...

This would be, as an equation:
 $6x+20=8x-4$

Solve:
Add 4 and -6x to both sides.
$(6x+20)+4+(-6x)=(8x-4)+4+(-6x)$
Simplify.
$24=2x$
Divide both sides by 2.
$(24)/2=(2x)/2$
Simplify.
$12=x$
$x=12$

x=12

Hope this helps.

They would have to pay the hourly cost if they played around 7 games because 7 games would equal to the cost of one hour.

The table represents the temperature of a cup of coffee over time.

Zanzabum

Answer: A) exponential, because there is a relatively consistent multiplicative rate of change

temperature thrice. If you compare time=0 until time=30, you will get this table
t(10)- t(0)= 180-200= -20
t(20)-t(10)= 163-180= -17
t(30)-t(20)= 146-163= -17
t(40)-t(30)= 131- 146= -15
t(50)-t(40)= 118-131= -13
t(50)-t(40)= 107-118= -11

There is something weird about the 2nd and 3rd value because it was same -17., but there seems to be a +2 change to the difference. So, the graph would be exponential with a relatively consistent multiplicative rate of change
