First, factor the expression on the top. What two numbers add to get 8 and multiply to 15? 5 and 3! so the top expression factors to (x+3)(x+5). You can cancel the x+3 from the denominator and end up with x+5. Make sense?
Answer:
; minimum
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The function is, 
The given function represent a parabola and can be expressed in vertex form as:

The vertex form of a parabola is
, where,
is the vertex.
So, the vertex is
.
In order to graph the given parabola, we find some points on it.
Let 




So, the points are
.
Mark these points on the graph and join them using a smooth curve.
The graph is shown below.
From the graph, we conclude that at the vertex
, it is minimum.
Answer:
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
PQ is a diameter, so arc PQ has a central angle of 180°. Inscribed angle PRQ has a measure half that, or 90°. (An inscribed triangle with one side a diameter is a right triangle.)
Then you can write ...
53y -16 = 90
53y = 106 . . . . . add 16
y = 106/53 = 2 . . . . divide by the coefficient of y
y = 2
5.33
3/2.3=1.3
1.3x4.1=5.33
