Q. f(x)=4x2+64x+262 f(x)=4 x^{2}+64 x+262 \newlineThe function g g is defined by g(x)=f(x+5) g(x)=f(x+5) . For what value of x x does g(x) g(x) reach its minimum?\newlineA. 13-13\newlineB. 8-8\newlineC. 5-5\newlineD. 3-3
  1. Substitute and Define g(x)g(x): g(x)g(x) is defined as f(x+5)f(x+5), so substitute x+5x+5 into f(x)f(x).\newlineg(x)=f(x+5)=4(x+5)2+64(x+5)+262g(x) = f(x+5) = 4(x+5)^2 + 64(x+5) + 262
  2. Expand and Simplify: Expand the square and simplify. \newlineg(x)=4(x2+10x+25)+64x+320+262g(x) = 4(x^2 + 10x + 25) + 64x + 320 + 262
  3. Distribute and Combine Terms: Distribute the 44 and combine like terms.g(x)=4x2+40x+100+64x+320+262g(x) = 4x^2 + 40x + 100 + 64x + 320 + 262g(x)=4x2+104x+682g(x) = 4x^2 + 104x + 682
  4. Find Vertex Form: The vertex form of a quadratic function is a(xh)2+ka(x-h)^2 + k, where (h,k)(h, k) is the vertex.\newlineThe x-coordinate of the vertex, hh, is given by b/(2a)-b/(2a).\newlineFor g(x)=4x2+104x+682g(x) = 4x^2 + 104x + 682, a=4a = 4 and b=104b = 104.\newlineh=104/(24)h = -104/(2\cdot4)\newlineh=104/8h = -104/8\newlineh=13h = -13
  5. Calculate Vertex Coordinates: The minimum value of g(x)g(x) occurs at x=hx = h. So, the minimum value of g(x)g(x) occurs at x=13x = -13.
