1.(a)
Given that f(x)=(x-a)(x-b) and a-b =k, prove that the minimum value of f(x) is k^2/a
—I would like to ask why the first step should be (a+b/2-a)(a+b/2-b)?
Would you explain that?Is it about the mid-pt thm or something else?
(b)Let g(x)=x^2-6x+5 and h(x-c)(x-3),where c<3
-Use (a) if g(x) and h(x) have the same minimum value of C.
-Hence,if h(x)=g(x+m)=n,find the values of m and n.
