Answer:
They have the same x-value
f(x) has the greater minimum
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the vertex of a second degree equation, in this case the minimum value, we can use the following equation:
x = -b / 2a
Remember that a second degree equation has the following form:
ax^2 + bx + c
so a = 1, b = -8 and c = 7. Now you have to substitute in the previous equation
x = - (-8) / 2(1)
x = 8 / 2
x = 4
This means that the two functions have the same x-value.
The y value of f(x) would be
f(4) = (4)^2 - 8(4) + 7
f(4) = 16 - 32 + 7
f(4) = -9
So the vertex, or minimun value of f(x) would be at the point (4, -9).
The vertex, or minimun value of g(x) is at the point (4, -4).
So f(x) has a minimum value of -9 and g(x) a minimum value of -4.

Question 14 of 25What is the complete factorization of the polynomial below?x³+x² + 4x+4O A. (x-1)(x+2)(x+2)B. (x + 1)(x + 2)(x

mote1985 [20]

GIVEN:

We are given the following polynomial;

$x^3+x^2+4x+4$

Required;

We are required to factorize this polynomial completely.

Step-by-step explanation;

To factorize this polynomial, we start by grouping;

$(x^3+x^2)+(4x+4)$

We now take the common factor in each group;

$\begin{gathered} x^2(x+1)+4(x+1) \\ \\ (x^2+4)(x+1) \end{gathered}$

Next, we factorize the first parenthesis. To do this we set the equation equal to zero and solve for x as follows;

$\begin{gathered} x^2+4=0 \\ \\ Subtract\text{ }4\text{ }from\text{ }both\text{ }sides: \\ \\ x^2=-4 \\ \\ Take\text{ }the\text{ }square\text{ }root\text{ }of\text{ }both\text{ }sides: \\ \\ x=\pm\sqrt{-4} \\ \\ x=(\pm\sqrt{-1}\times\sqrt{4}) \\ \\ x=\pm2i \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the factors of the other parenthesis are;

$(x+2i)(x-2i)$

Therefore, the complete factorization of the polynomial is;

ANSWER:

$(x+1)(x+2i)(x-2i)$

Option C is the correct answer.
