Ohh gosh honestly idk @hartnn can u help i would like to learn this too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright :s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the meantime can you help me with this one ? ;O

hartnn (hartnn):

does this question belong to calculus ? how do you usually find minimum value ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no idea :/

hartnn (hartnn):

assuming its not calculus, lets first try to find the vertex of that quadratic function , \(\Large f(x)= 2 (x^2+14x-4)\) have you learnt the method of completing the squares before ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, and no :/

hartnn (hartnn):

then lets use the direct formula here, for a>0 and \(\Large f(x) = ax^2+bx+c \) the minimum value is just \(\Large c -\dfrac{b^2}{4a}\) so first find the values of a,b,c

hartnn (hartnn):

compare \(ax^2+bx+c \: \: with \\ 2x^2+28x-8\)

hartnn (hartnn):

could you get values of a,b,c by comparing ?
