What real value of produces the smallest value of the quadratic t^2 - 9t - 36 + 7t - 20?
What real value of t produces the smallest value of the quadratic t^2 - 9t - 36 + 7t - 20?
+36916 t^2 - 9t - 36 + 7t - 20
t^2 -2t - 56 = 0 Is a bowl shaped parabola ...the minimum value will occur at t = - b/2a = - -2/2 =1
( If needed: use this value fo t in the equation to compute the minimum value of the fxn)
