b. minimum (1,8)
c. maximum (-1,3)
d. minimum (-1,3)

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer : d. minimum (-1,3)

$f(x) = 5x^2 + 10x + 8$

The vertex form of quadratic function is

$f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k$ , where (h,k) is the vertex

To get vertex form we apply completing the square method

To apply completing the square method , there should be only x^2

So we factor out 5 from from first two terms

$f(x) = 5(x^2 + 2x) + 8$

Now we take the number before x (coefficient of x) and divide by 2

$(2)/(2)$ =1

Now square it

$(1)^2 =1$

Add and subtract 1 inside the parenthesis

$f(x) = 5(x^2 + 2x + 1 - 1) + 8$

Now we take out -1 by multiplying 5

$f(x) = 5(x^2 + 2x + 1) -5 + 8$

$f(x) = 5(x^2 + 2x + 1) + 3$

Now we factor x^2 +2x+1 as (x+1)(x+1)

$f(x) = 5(x+1)(x+1) + 3$

$f(x) = 5(x+1)^2 + 3$

h=-1 and k=3

So vertex is (-1,3)

When the value of 'a' is negative , then it is a maximum

When the value of 'a' is positive , then it is a minimum

$f(x) = 5x^2 + 10x + 8$ is in the form of $f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

The value of a is 5

5 is positive so it is a minimum

f(x) is minimum at point (-1,3)

Answer 2

Answer: The vertex form is a(x-h)²+k, where (h,k) are the coordinates of the vertex.

$f(x)= \n 5x^2+10x+8= \n5(x^2+2x)+8= \n5((x^2+2x+1)-1)+8= \n5((x+1)^2-1)+8= \n5(x+1)^2-5+8= \n5(x+1)^2+3$

The coordinates of the vertex are (-1,3).

The coefficient of x² is positive, so the parabola opens upwards and the vertex is the minimum of the function.

The answer is d.

Find the sum of place value of 5 in the no 505

Answers

Place values are determined by the position of a digit in the number multiplied by 10 for each digit it has to its right.

Since there are two "5" digits in the number, let us break them down to their respective place values.

1.) 5: one's place: 5
2.) 5: hundred's place: 5 x 10 x 10 = 500

Adding the place values:
500 + 5 = 505

Therefore the sum is 505.

The sum of two numbers is 13. Two times the first number minus three times the second number is 1. If you let x stand for the first number and y for the second number, what are the two numbers?

Answers

x+y= 13
2x-3y= 1
This can be found by using a system but I will try this method:
x=13-y
We replace it on the second one:
2(13-y) + y = 13
26-2y + y=13
-y= -13
y= 13

Answers

A discrete variable is a variable which may take only certain discrete values; for example the number of people in a household is a discrete variable which may have the value 1, 2, 3, etc. but cannot have intermediate values such as 1.473 or 3.732.
Choice d) can be represented by a discrete probability distribution, the other choices cannot be so represented.
