The function g(n)=n²-6n+16 represents a parabola.

goblinko [34]

Part A: (n^2-6n)+16

[(n^2-6n+9)-9]+16

(n-3)^2+7

Part B: From the above result,

Vertex (3,7) this is the minimum point of the graph since the coefficient of a is positive

Part C: The axis of symmetry is basically the x coordinate of the vertex, so the axis of symmetry is x=3

Hope this helps!

Dy/dx = y/x , y(1) = −2

s2008m [1.1K]

Start with

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{y}{x}$

Separate the variables:

$\dfrac{dy}{y} = \dfrac{dx}{x}$

Integrate both parts:

$\displaystyle \int \dfrac{dy}{y} = \int\dfrac{dx}{x}$

Which implies

$\log(y) = \log(x)+c$

Solving for y:

$y = e^{\log(x)+c} = e^{\log(x)}e^c=xe^c$

Since $e^c$ is itself a constant, let's rename it $c_1$ .

Fix the additive constant imposing the condition:

$y(1) = c_1\cdot 1 = -2\iff c_1=-2$

So, the solution is

$y(x) = -2x$
