1) this is a parabola open upward since the coefficient of x² is positive so it has a minimum.
2) Its symmetry line = -b/2a = -1/2 & for x=-1/2, y= 23/4 So its minimum is (-1/2, 23/4)
3) Now to see if the parabole intercepts the x-axis we calculate the roots of x²+x-6. As you will notice Δ <0 so there is no roots & consequently it doesn't intersect with x-axis Your graph is wrong, and the parabola should be above the x-axis & it will intersect with the y-axis at y=23/4 =5.75nunits
The number of chocolate wafers taken by 8 members of the baseball team are in the sequence :
The above sequence is <u>arithmetic sequence</u> with first term(a₁)= 1 and common difference (d) = 2
<u>Formula for Sum</u> of first terms in arithmetic sequence is....
So, the Sum of 8 terms in that sequence....
That means, the total number of chocolate wafers taken by the baseball team members is 64. Tom ate 5 and then gave his brother 3 chocolate wafers at first.
So, the total number of chocolate wafers at starting
