Hi i really need help ASAP. The expression 8x^2 − 176x + 1,024 is used to approximate a small town's population in thousands from 1998 to 2018, where x represents the number of years since 1998. Choose the equivalent expression that is most useful for finding the year where the population was at a minimum.
8(x − 11)^2 − 56
8(x − 11)^2 + 56
8(x2 − 22x + 128)
8(x2 − 22x) + 128

the solution is x=1

step-by-step explanation:

we are given our   equation as

let's assume

left side function is

right side function is

now, we can draw graph

and then we can get intersection point

the intersection point will be solution

so, the solution is

x=1

the given 6 = w/p is equivalent to 6p = w, where w is the total area of the walls and p is the area covered by a single can of paint.

knowing that 6 cans of paint will be needed, 6p = w becomes 6(6) = w = 36.   this tells us that the total area to be painted is 36 square units.
