Jazmin is completing an art project. she has two pieces of construction paper. the first piece is 44 cm wide and the second piece is 33 cm wide. jazmin wants to cut the paper into strips that are equal in width and are as wide as possible. how wide should jazmin cut each strip?

answer: 177/8

step-by-step explanation:

the correct answer is c) 2.

(a) x intercepts: -6 and 2

you can obtain these by solving the equation 0=x^2 +4x-12 using your favorite quadratic formula. but it is easy to verify -6 and 2 indeed satisfy this equation.

(b) y intercept: -12

this is obtained by setting x=0: 0^2+4*0-12 = -12

(c) the minimum value is: -16 (this is the vertex)

you can get the vertex by rewriting the equation into the form:

there is no global or local maximum as the function goes to infinity, so only in the limit sense: +infinity.
