Hello there!
There are two ways to find the minimum value of this function, but before I show you how, I am going to teach you a little bit about minimum value.
The minimum value on a parabola is the vertex or turning point. This means that the slope of the tangent line is horizontal, having a slope of 0.
The algebraic way to find the minimum or maximum value on a parabola is to use the formula -b/2a. Let's do it...
y=4x^2+4x-35
where a=4, b=4, and c=-35
-b/2a
-4/2(4)
-4/8
-1/2
Now let me show you the other way...
Take the derivative of
y=4x^2+4x-35
y'=8x+4
And set it equal to 0...
8x+4=0
8x=-4
x=-1/2
We got the same answer. Now that we know x=-1/2, plug this into the original equation to find y.
y=4x^2+4x-35
y=4(-1/2)^2+4(-1/2)-35
y=-1-2-35
y=-38
So the minimum point on this parabola is (-1/2,-38)

Answer:
57.06 unit^2
Step-by-step explanation:
find the area of the rectangle = 12*12 = 144 unit^2
the area of the circle = pi*r^2 = 3.14*8^2 = 201.06 unit^2 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
then the "shaded area" is the difference
201.06 - 144 = 57.06 unit^2

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for half life is
n = no e ^ (-kt)
Where no is the initial amount of a substance , k is the constant of decay and t is the time
no = 9.8
1/2 of that amount is 4.9 so n = 4.9 and t = 100 years
4.9 = 9.8 e^ (-k 100)
Divide each side by 9.8
1/2 = e ^ -100k
Take the natural log of each side
ln(1/2) = ln(e^(-100k))
ln(1/2) = -100k
Divide each side by -100
-ln(.5)/100 = k
Our equation in years is
n = 9.8 e ^ (ln.5)/100 t)
Approximating ln(.5)/100 =-.006931472
n = 9.8 e^(-.006931472 t) when t is in years
Now changing to days
100 years = 100*365 days/year
36500 days
Substituting this in for t
4.9 = 9.8 e^ (-k 36500)
Take the natural log of each side
ln(1/2) = ln(e^(-36500k))
ln(1/2) = -36500k
Divide each side by -100
-ln(.5)/36500 = k
Our equation in years is
n = 9.8 e ^ (ln.5)/36500 d)
Approximating ln(.5)/365=-.00001899
n = 9.8 e^(-.00001899 d) when d is in days
