Given

To obtain the minimum value of y, we first take the derivative of y
The derivative of y is:

Equating

gives the minimum value we require.
Doing that, we have:

So that

Therefore, the minimum value is x = 3

Answer:
B. 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Equating exponents, we have ...
2x +7 = 15
2x = 8 . . . . . subtract 7
x = 4 . . . . . . divide by 2
The equation is true when the value of x is 4.
Answer:
i) 3/4
ii) 1/3
iii) 1/3
iv) 5/6 cents
Step-by-step explanation:
Any ratio can be written as a fraction.
For example 3:4 can be writen as 3/4 or 14:42 as 14/42.
After you convert them to fractions you then simplify them by finding their highest common factor (HCF) and then divide both numerator and denominator by the HCF. When you cant simplify the fraction anymore, that is the fraction in its lowest terms.
To determine the rate of a number do the following steps:
Multiply the number by the percent (e.g. 87 * 68 = 5916)
Divide the answer by 100 (Move decimal point two places to the left) (e.g. 5916/100 = 59.16)
Round to the desired precision (e.g. 59.16 rounded to the nearest whole number = 59)
5/7 ÷ 1/3 = 5/7 × 3/1 = 15/7
