All of given options contain quadratic functions. One way to determine the extreme value is squaring the expression with variable x.
Option B contain the expression where you can see perfect square. Thus, equation (choice B) reveals its extreme value without needing to be altered.
To determine the extreme value of this equation, you should substitute x=2 (x-value that makes expression in brackets equal to zero) into the function notation:
The extreme value of this equation has a minimum at the point (2,5).
Answer:
none of the above
Step-by-step explanation:
The grocer's revenue will be the product of the number of loaves sold (30-2x) and their price (2.50+0.50x).
Revenue will be positive for values of x between those that make these factors be zero. The number of loaves sold will be zero when ...
... 30 -2x = 0
... 15 -x = 0 . . . . . divide by 2
... x = 15 . . . . . . . add x
The price of each loaf will be zero when ...
... 2.50 +0.50x = 0
... 5 + x = 0 . . . . . . . multiply by 2
... x = -5 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5
Revenue will be positive for any number of increases greater than -5 and less than 15.
_____
D is the best of the offered choices, but it is incorrect in detail. -5 is a number less than 15, but will give zero revenue.
