-- Subtract K from each side of the equation.
8/5 = 0
-- There is no value for K that can make this a true statement. So the original equation has no solution.
Check the picture below, that's just an example of a parabola opening upwards.
so the cost equation C(b), which is a quadratic with a positive leading term's coefficient, has the graph of a parabola like the one in the picture, so the cost goes down and down and down, reaches the vertex or namely the minimum, and then goes back up.
bearing in mind that the quantity will be on the x-axis and the cost amount is over the y-axis, what are the coordinates of the vertex of this parabola? namely, at what cost for how many bats?

Answer:answer is a (x+8)^2=86
Step-by-step explanation:
x+8=±√
86
2 Break down the problem into these 2 equations.
x+8=\sqrt{86}x+8=√
86
x+8=-\sqrt{86}x+8=−√
86
3 Solve the 1st equation: x+8=\sqrt{86}x+8=√
86
.
x=\sqrt{86}-8x=√
86
−8
4 Solve the 2nd equation: x+8=-\sqrt{86}x+8=−√
86
.
x=-\sqrt{86}-8x=−√
86
−8
5 Collect all solutions.
x=\sqrt{86}-8,-\sqrt{86}-8x=√
86

+16x−22=0
2 Use the Quadratic Formula.
x=\frac{-16+2\sqrt{86}}{2},\frac{-16-2\sqrt{86}}{2}x=

3 Simplify solutions.
x=-8+\sqrt{86},-8-\sqrt{86}x=−8+√
86
,−8−√

2x - (3x + 2x)
= -3x
hope this helps !!
X = 3 Right side length!
I hope this helps. :)
