Answer:
Each knight will 4.8 hrs spend on guard in one day
Step-by-step explanation:
A castle has to be guarded 24 hours a day 5 knights are ordered to split each day's guard duty equally
Each knights has to guard equally l.e for equal time .
That means 24 hours time has to be equally divided among the 5 knights
= 24 / 5 = 4.8
Each knight will spend on guard in one day = 4.8 hrs
We need a picture of the graph
You could complete the square to state the vertex.
You could use the quadratic equation to find the roots (which are complex).
Try an example that will require both.
y = x^2 + 2x + 5
Step One
Get the graph. That's included below.
Step Two
Provide the steps for completing the square.
Note: we should get (-1,4)
y= (x^2 +2x ) + 5
y = (x^2 +2x + 1) + 5 - 1
y = (x +1)^2 + 4
The vertex is at (-1,4)
Step Three
Find the roots. Use the quadratic equation. Note that the graph shows us that the equation never crosses or touches the x axis. The roots are complex.

a = 1
b = 2
c = 5




x = -1 +/- 2i
x1 = -1 + 2i
x2 = -1 - 2i And we are done.
