Answer:

3.536 units

Step-by-step explanation:

on the x axis, the difference is 2.5

on the y axis, the difference is 5

5^2/2=d^2

25/2=d^2

d^2=12.5

d=3.536

between 1995 and 2006, the population of samburg, usa(in thousands) can be modeled by f(x) = 0.35x(squared) - 2.1x+15.8 where x=

Juli2301 [7.4K]

$\bf f(x)=0.35x^2-2.1x+15.8\qquad 
\begin{cases}
x=\textit{year since 1995}\\
f(x)=\textit{population amount}
\end{cases}$

the equation is a quadratic one, and it has a positive coefficient on the leading term, meaning, is opening upwards, so it has a "burrow" for the vertex.

the minimum or lowest point for a quadratic opening upwards is, well, the vertex point :), the "x" value is the year, the "y" or f(x) value is the population, we're asked for the year, or the x-coordinate of the vertex

well $\bf \begin{array}{llll}
f(x)=&0.35x^2&-2.1x&+15.8\\
&\quad \uparrow &\quad \uparrow&\uparrow \\
&\quad a&\quad b &c
\end{array}
\\\\

\qquad \textit{vertex of a parabola}\\ \quad \\
\qquad
