@Qwertty123 @kky10997
OpenStudy (kky10997):
there is only 1 function
OpenStudy (kky10997):
there is only 1 function

@kky10997
OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):
the more detailed steps the better please If you can help
OpenStudy (kky10997):
see range of sin is
[-1,1] so range of g(x)=[-2,2]
OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):
ok
OpenStudy (kky10997):
now try to second function

Try to plot
OpenStudy (kky10997):
f(x)=3x^2+12x+16
D={b^2-4ac} in this case D< 0 so f(x)>0 for all x
so g(x) is min
OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):
Could I please just have the steps of how to do it? I really just need to have a thing to study rather than do it right now
OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):
So thats all?
OpenStudy (kky10997):
yeah

I got the g(x) is minimum, and so those are all of the steps of how to get this answer? Bc i need to explain it to someone else as well so just making sure

@jim_thompson5910 @Vocaloid
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
@iwanttogotostanford focus on y = 3x^2+12x+16
notice how it's in the form y = ax^2+bx+c
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
do you agree that
a = 3
b = 12
c = 16
?

can you repost it
OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):
this: Using complete sentences, explain how to find the minimum value for each function and determine which function has the smallest minimum y-value.
OpenStudy (supersmart1001):
2x - sin (2x - pi) + 4*
x= -2 and 3pi/4
OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):
and then what? Could yu please expound on your answer and reasoning a bit? so i can understand better @supersmart1001
OpenStudy (supersmart1001):
ok hold on

ok!
OpenStudy (supersmart1001):
You can find the minimum value of each function by first finding the critical points and then using the second derivative test. The second derivative test tells you that if f "(x) < 0 at the critical point, then you have a maximum and if f "(x) > 0 at the critical point then you have a minimum. The critical points can be found by finding the derivative of the function and setting the function equal to 0.
f '(x) = 6x + 12 =0 => x = -2
g '(x) = 4cos(4x - π) = 0 => 4x - π = π/2, 3π/2, etc.
x = 3π/8, 5π/8, 7π/8, etc.
Note that since f "(x) = 6 > 0, we have a minimum at x = -2
g "(x) = -16sin(4x - π) > 0 for x = 5π/8, etc.
So therefore, g(5π/8) = 2sin(π/4) + 4 = 4 + √2 > f(-2) = 4
I hope this helps
OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):
thank you! so that is all to this question?
OpenStudy (supersmart1001):
yes
OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):
also, could i please have help with another if i tag you ?
