SOLUTION: Suppose that the equation v = 20.8x(square root) - 458.3x + 3,500 represents the value of a car from 1964 to 2002. What year did the car have the least value? (x= 0 in 1964)

Question 973848: Suppose that the equation v = 20.8x(square root) - 458.3x + 3,500 represents the value of a car from 1964 to 2002. What year did the car have the least value? (x= 0 in 1964)

I think this is 20.8x^2-458.3x+3500
The x-value for the vertex, minimum, is -b/2a, or +458.3/41.6 and that is at 11.01 or 11. That would be 1973. It is $975.49
