Question

Answer maximum value of ____ or minimum value of (blank)

Determine whether each function has a maximum or a minimum value. Then find the maximum or minimum value of each function.

f(x) = x2 +9

anonymous · Answer

Graph the equation. This is going to be a standard x^2 graph shifted upward 9 units. Since it is concave up (the x^2 has a positive coefficient) it has a minimum, no maximum. Use your graph to determine the coordinates of the minimum.

@vinnv226 Is saying to find the coordinates. Of course it would be in a blank space. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_coordinate_system

jazzyfa30 · Answer

i thought wiki couldnt be trusted

jazzyfa30 · Answer

and how dos this help

dumbsearch2 · Answer

Who's said it couldn't be trusted.
The definition of coordinates stays the same wether it's wikipedia or not

dumbsearch2 · Answer

Get the coordinate of the minimum, he says.
That would be a number (which would fit in a blank space).

jazzyfa30 · Answer

but how do i find that with the equation given

jazzyfa30 · Answer

can you help me get the first part of the question

jazzyfa30 · Answer

Do u know how to do it @Opcode ?

anonymous · Answer

graph the function and it will become clear
does x^2 every become less than 0?

anonymous · Answer

ever*

jazzyfa30 · Answer

idk

anonymous · Answer

plug in stuff for x and check if their squares are ever negative

jazzyfa30 · Answer

?????

anonymous · Answer

is the square of a number ever negative.

jazzyfa30 · Answer

no it would be no solution

anonymous · Answer

so x^2 is always above or equal to 0 right?

anonymous · Answer

with that in mind, what would be the minimum value of x^2+9

jazzyfa30 · Answer

above the line i think

anonymous · Answer

but exactly where?

anonymous · Answer

minimum value y=9

anonymous · Answer

sigh^

@FutureMathProfessor Don't give away answers. Lead up to them. http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct

jazzyfa30 · Answer

IDK

anonymous · Answer

okay x^2 is at its lowest value 0, and 9 is always 9, so x^2+9 is lowest at?

jazzyfa30 · Answer

attachment

anonymous · Answer

x^2 ++++9

anonymous · Answer

if that equals 0, it would imply that x^2 is -9

jazzyfa30 · Answer

so it 9

anonymous · Answer

yeah

jazzyfa30 · Answer

ok now what????
