OpenStudy (rational):

are you looking at the table of h(x) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (rational):

look only at "y" values column whats the minimum value you see ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

OpenStudy (rational):

Yes! so "5" is the minimum value of h(x)

OpenStudy (rational):

lets find the minimum value of g(x)

OpenStudy (rational):

|dw:1432430618074:dw|

OpenStudy (rational):

look at the graph that blue point is the one having minimum value, right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (rational):

whats the "y" value of that point ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4

OpenStudy (rational):

you're good! so the minimum value of g(x) is -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok what about f(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be -4 for f(x)?

OpenStudy (rational):

minimum value would be -4+2 = -2 for f(x)

OpenStudy (rational):

f(x) : -2 g(x) : -4 h(x) : 5 who has the smallest value ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x)?

OpenStudy (rational):

careful with negative numbers

OpenStudy (rational):

suppose you have a debt of 2 million and i have a debt of 4 million who is worse ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yours

OpenStudy (rational):

because -4 is less than -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh I see so its g(x)?

OpenStudy (rational):

Yep!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yay!!!!!!!!! you think you can help with a few more????

OpenStudy (rational):

wil try, please open a new thread

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
