Using the completing-the-square method, find the vertex of the function f(x) = 2x2 − 8x + 6 and indicate whether it is a minimum or a maximum and at what point. maximum at (2, –2) minimum at (2, –2) maximum at (2, 6) minimum at (2, 6)

Solve the system of equations. y= 2x y= x^2 - 15

Tomas is making trail mix using granola and walnuts. he can spend a total of $12 on the ingredients. he buys 3 pounds of granola that costs $2.00 per pound. the walnuts cost $6 per pound. he uses the equation to represent the total cost, where x represents the number of pounds of granola and y represents the number of pounds of walnuts. he solves the equation for y, the number of pounds of walnuts he can buy. answer- b tomas added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6. just took the test
