The law illustrated is Distributive Law

This question is under a topic called algebra laws.

The laws are;

- Commutative law; This implies that when we are to add or multiply numbers, the order of addition or multiplication doesn't matter as we will still get same result.

- Associative law; This implies that if we want to add more than 2 numbers, if we decide to add the first 2 before adding the third one, we will still get the same result as if we added the second one to the third one before adding to the first one. This law also applies to multiplication.

- Distributive law; This implies that when two numbers are multiplied to produce a result, both numbers are factors of the result.

We are told in the question that ; 5n x 1 = 5n

This means that 5n and 1 are factors of 5n and this corresponds to distributive law

Which of the following is the minimum value of the equation y = 3x^2 − 4x − 2?

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

-3 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic

... y = ax² +bx +c

has its extreme value at

... x = -b/(2a)

Since a = 3 is positive, we know the parabola opens upward and the extreme value is a minimum. (We also know that from the problem statement asking us to find the minimum value.) The value of x at the minimum is -(-4)/(2·3) = 2/3.

To find the minimum value, we need to evaluate the function for x=2/3.

The most straightforward way to do this is to substitue 2/3 for x.

... y = 3(2/3)² -4(2/3) -2 = 3(4/9) -8/3 -2

... y = (4 -8 -6)/3 = -10/3

... y = -3 1/3
