32) Identify the turning point of the function f(x)= x^2-2x+8 by writing its equation in vertex form. Show your work.

1 answer:

4 0

(1,7)

Working;
Start by finding the derivative of the function f(x);
$f^{'} (x)$ =2x-2
Turning points occur when the derivative function=0;
Thus
2x-2=0
x=1
when x=1 then
f(1)= $1^{2} -2(1)+8$
=7
Turning point then is (1,7)

A wild animal generally stays at least x mi from the edge of a forest. For a rectangular forest preserve that is 2 mi

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

$Area = 4x^2 - 14x + 10$

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>See Attachment for Complete Question</em>

Given

$Width = 5mi$ --- For the forest

$Length = 2mi$ -- --- For the forest

Required

Determine the area of the habitat

Since the distance between the animal's habitat is x mi on both sides;

The length and width of the habitat is:

$Width = 5 - (x + x)$

$Width = 5 - 2x$

$Height = 2 - (x +x)$

$Height = 2 - 2x$

The area is then calculated as follows;

$Area = Width * Height$

$Area = (5 - 2x) * (2 - 2x)$

Expand

$Area = 5(2 - 2x) -2x(2 - 2x)$

Open Brackets

$Area = 10 - 10x - 4x + 4x^2$

$Area = 10 - 14x + 4x^2$

Reorder

$Area = 4x^2 - 14x + 10$

Hence; the required polynomial for the habitat area is:

$Area = 4x^2 - 14x + 10$

A box of 20 Crunchy Munchy cookies costs $2.50 and a box of 40 Crunchy Munchy cookies costs $4.00. One quart of milk costs $1.50

Otrada [13]

20 crunchy munchy=2.50 this means 2.50/20=0.125 cents per candy (i assume is candy)
40 crunchy munchy=4.00 4/40=0.100 cents per candy - this is cheaper than previous one
1 quart of milk =1.50 dollars
you cant actuality compare candy to milk
