document.write( "Question 905108: Please help solve. I was able to put g(x) = 5x^2 − 30x + 55 into standard form like so g(x) = 5(x − 3)^2 + 10 I understand that the vertex is (3,10) however what does the g mean in this? I know it's a variable but I have a problem asking me if it's greater than or less than zero. I don't know how to find this. Also asking for it's max and min value which I think is the vertex and if it's upward then it's only a min because it's showing it's lowest point and the rest exceeds infinitely. Does that all sound correct?\r

Algebra.Com's Answer #549057 by Math_Boss(45)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! g(x) means its a function. It depends on (x). \n" ); document.write( "You need to find if \"a\" is greater than or less than zero; not \"g\". \n" ); document.write( "a=5; a is greater than zero. \n" ); document.write( "\"minimum\" is correct. \n" ); document.write( "Minimum value is 10. occurs at x = 3. \n" ); document.write( "Max value DNE, x DNE.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
