The veretx is normally the minimum value
hack:
for f(x)=ax²+bx+c
the x value of the vertex is -b/2a
so
f(x)=1x²-16x+71
x value is -(-16)/(2*1)=16/2=8
find f(8) to find y value of vertex
f(8)=8²-16(8)+71
f(8)=64-128+71
f(8)=7
the vertex is (8,7)
the minimum value is 7

Answer: C) 3</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
f(x) is the outer function, so the final output -8 corresponds to f(x)
We see that f(-4) = -8 in the first column of the table. I'm starting with the output and working my way backward to get the input. So we started with -8 and worked back to -4.
Then we move to the g(x) function to follow the same pattern: start with the output and move to the input. We start at -4 in the g(x) bubble and move to 3 in the x bubble.
In short, g(3) = -4
So,
f(g(x)) = f(g(3)) = f(-4) = -8
We see that x = 3 leads to f(g(x)) = -8

The answer will be 40. As it doubles twice during 220mins- 10 to 20 and then 20 to 40.
Well if you write the statement as an equation then that will get you
3*x^2 = 12x
Now we just solve. You can divide both sides by 3x and that gives you x = 4
