Find the minimum y-value on the graph y=f(x) f(x)= x^2+4x-5

Mathematics

There are two ways to solve the problem: using calculus and algebra. For this, I'll be using the algebraic way. The function is parabolic, thus the minimum value is the ordinate of the vertex. Using completing the square, we could get the vertex of the parabola.

y = x^2 + 4x - 5y = x^2 + 4x + 4 - 5 - 4y = (x + 2)^2 - 9Vertex is (-2, -9). 

Therefore, the minimum value is -9.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

From Midnight to 6 am the temperature rose 8 degrees C. At 6 am the temperature was -21 degrees C. What was the temperature at m
Alika [10]
Hello!

We know that from midnight to 6am the temperature went up 8° and at 6am it was -21°

To find what it was at midnight we have to work backwards

Since it went up we have to subtract 8 from -21

-21 - 8 = -29

The answer is -29°C

Hope this helps!
