Hi there!

Begin by differentiating f(x) using the power rule:

dy/dx = nxⁿ⁻¹

Therefore:

f(x) = 3x² - 5x + 10

f'(x) = 6x - 5

Set this equation equal to 0 to find the x-intercept:

0 = 6x - 5

5 = 6x

x = 5/6, which is where the graph goes from NEGATIVE to POSITIVE, so there is a MINIMUM at this value.

Answer:

300K

Step-by-step explanation:

T = t + 273 °C

T is absolute temperature

t = given temperature (27°C in this case)

Hence T = 27 °C + 273 °C (standard temperature)

T = 300K (since absolute temperature is measured in K from the question's preamble)

The equation describes a function whose maximum value is 5. The data set describes a function whose maximum value is also 5. Comparing the maximum values, we must conclude ...

... It is the same for both functions.

_____

Please note that the premise is that g(x) is a quadratic function. It is definitely NOT a quadratic function in the usual sense of the term.
