Which integer is closest to 0 on the number line? a. –12 b. –8 c. 10 d. 14

An integer is close to zero if it is "small".

By small, we mean that it is small in absolute value. In fact, for any given distance , there are two integers that are units away from zero: and .

So, for example, -6 is close to zero than 8, because -6 is six units away from zero, while 8 is eight units away from zero.

So, the answer is B, -8, because it is 8 units away from zero. The other options A, C and D are, respectively, 12, 10 and 14 units away from zero.

the answer is b.)

< 1=< 2

hello,

as we don't know if g(x) is continue,

answer b

f(x)=2x²-8x+1=2(x²-4x+4)+1-8=2(x-2)²-7

vertex is (2,-7) ( a minimum since coefficient of x² is > 0)
