Answer: the function g(x) has the smallest minimum y-value.
Explanation:
1) The function f(x) = 3x² + 12x + 16 is a parabola.
The vertex of the parabola is the minimum or maximum on the parabola.
If the parabola open down then the vertex is a maximum, and if the parabola open upward the vertex is a minimum.
The sign of the coefficient of the quadratic term tells whether the parabola opens upward or downward.
When such coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upward (so it has a minimum); when the coefficient is negative the parabola opens downward (so it has a maximum).
Here the coefficient is positive (3), which tells that the vertex of the parabola is a miimum.
Then, finding the minimum value of the function is done by finding the vertex.
I will change the form of the function to the vertex form by completing squares:
Given: 3x² + 12x + 16
Group: (3x² + 12x) + 16
Common factor: 3 [x² + 4x ] + 16
Complete squares: 3[ ( x² + 4x + 4) - 4] + 16
Factor the trinomial: 3 [(x + 2)² - 4] + 16
Distributive property: 3 (x + 2)² - 12 + 16
Combine like terms: 3 (x + 2)² + 4
That is the vertex form: A(x - h)² + k, whch means that the vertex is (h,k) = (-2, 4).
Then the minimum value is 4 (when x = - 2).
2) The othe function is <span>g(x)= 2 *sin(x-pi)
</span>
The sine function goes from -1 to + 1, so the minimum value of sin(x - pi) is - 1.
When you multiply by 2, you just increased the amplitude of the function and obtain the new minimum value is 2 (-1) = - 2
Comparing the two minima, you have 4 vs - 2, and so the function g(x) has the smallest minimum y-value.

Answer:
x = 5m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance flying out = 12 km (headwind)
Distance flying back = 12 km (tailwind)
total distance = 12 + 12 =24 km
wind speed = 1km/h
speed going out (with headwind) = (x - 1) km/h
speed coming back (with tailwind) = (x + 1) km/h
Time taken to go out = distance going out / speed going out
= 12 / (x-1)
Time taken to come back = distance coming back / speed coming back
= 12 / (x+1)
total time = time taken to go out + time taken to come back
5 =[ 12/(x-1) ] + [ 12/(x-1)]
expanding this, we will get
5x² - 24x - 5 = 0
solving quadratic equation, we will get
x = -1/5 (impossible because speed cannot be negative)
or
x = 5 (answer)
