OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

Okay, good I had the second one right! :)

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

Thank you very much jack! :)

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

np

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

wait it says its wrong. :(

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

lol mathmale would you be able to help?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

My approach is MUCH different. I'll as you, Mark, to do whatever you can and then ask clarifying questions. We should not be doing anyone's homework for him/her.

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

Yea, I agree with you brotha

OpenStudy (mathmale):

When does f(x)=ax^2 have minimum values?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

A more basic question: When does y=x^2 have minimum value or values?

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

well, it has minimum values when it is going up

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

right?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

No. A minimum value is a y-value. In the case of x^2, there is only one x value at which the function has its smallest valule. What is that x value and what is the minimum (y-) value? Draw the function y=x^2, please.

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

its a parabola right?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Yes, indeed. Knowing that, can you answer my 2 questions?

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

shas let me try

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

i mean wait... ooops using russian lol

OpenStudy (mathmale):

y=x^2 is one of the most common of functions, and so it's worth learning by heart. |dw:1475193137780:dw|
