The minimum for g(x)=x2-10
36
Here is a quadratic equation x^2 + 5x = 14
x^2 + 5x - 14 = 0 - Subtract 14 from both sides
(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0 - Factor
x + 7 = 0 x - 2 = 0 - Set each factor equal to 0
x = -7 x = 2 - solve each piece
If the constant is easy to find factors of then use the factoring method
If the constant is difficult and you have a graphing calculator, then graph
If no graphing calculator then use the quadratic formula
For the answer to the question above asking <span>how long will it take a mark to recover his investment assuming he has a salary of $32,000 upon graduating?
The answer is </span>Mark will lose:
4 * $ 8,000 = $32,000 ( without salary ) + $64,000 ( college costs ) =
= $96,000 in total
$96,000 : $32,000 = 3
Answer:
<span>It will take Mark 3 years to recover his investments. Poor Mark</span>
It looks like the first 3 are because they all are blank x2.5 but the last one would be 8x2.5=20..
