X=1 because -7 times 1 = -7
Haha I know this totally unhelpful but I do connections academy too. What quiz/test are you on
Answer:
A. 1ft
Step-by-step explanation:
1 x 1 = 1 squared
So 1 foot x 1 foot = 1 square foot
The minimum happens at x = -b/2a
x = -30 / 2(3) = -30/6 = -5
Now replace x in the equation with -5 and solve:
3(-5)^2 + 30(-5) +27 = 75 - 150 + 27 = -48
The minimum is at (-5,-48)
