Which is the minimum or maximum value of the given function? a. The function has a minimum value of -2 b. The function has a minimum value of 1 c. Function has a maximum value of -2 d. The function has a maximum value of 1

The function f(x) is not given, I used a different function but the approach and steps is the same .

Step-by-step explanation:

compare with the normal quadratic equation ; ax2 + bx + c = f(x)

As such, it has a minimum

hence for minimum value; x = -b/2a

x = -(-8)/2 x 2

x = 8/4 = 2

plugging the values of x in f(x) ; f(2) = 2(2)^2 -8(2) + 5

f(2) = -3, hence it has minimum value and the minimum value is -3

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
