Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This question utilizes combining like terms and common denominators. First you have to convert both terms including "a" to have a denominator of 8. You would do this by multiplying both the numerator, and the denominator by the same value. This value in the case of would be 2, and in the case of the value would be 2. This would result in the equation: . Then simply combine like terms to get your final answer.
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).
Step-by-step explanation:
$15
He keeps 8. He saves 5 so 8+5=13
He also gives $2 to charity.
8+5+2= $15
