As can be read from your statement written "T, equals, start fraction, left parenthesis, d, minus, 15, right parenthesis, strt superscript, 2, end superscript, divided by, 300, end fraction, plus, 20", I hope your model equation is this :
[tex] T = \frac{(d-15)^{2}}{300} + 20 [/tex]
Hope this is your question, if not I think you will, still be able to find an answer of your question based on this solution
As we have to find lowest average temperature, So for minimum of a function its derivative is equal to 0 there.
So lets find derivative of T function first
So first expand [tex] (d-15)^{2} [/tex] as (d-15)(d-15)
we will use FOIL to multiply these
so [tex] (d-15)(d-15) = d^{2} -15d -15d +225 [/tex]
[tex] = d^{2} -30d +225 [/tex]
so we have [tex] T = \frac{d^{2} -30d +225}{300} +20 [/tex]
Now we will derivate each term here,300 in denominator is constant so that will come as it in in denominator.
To derivate terms in [tex] dx^{2} -30d +225 [/tex] we will use power rule formula:
[tex] (x^{n} )'= nx^{n-1} [/tex]
so derivative of [tex] (d^{2} )'= 2d^{2-1} = 2d^{1} = 2d [/tex]
Then derivative of d will be 1
so that of -30d will be -30
then derivate of constant -225 will be 0
so we will have derivative as [tex] \frac{2d-30}{300} [/tex] for the fraction part and then derivative of +20 is again 0 as its constant term
[tex] T' = \frac{2d-30}{300} [/tex]
For minimum we will put this derivative =0
[tex] 0 = \frac{2d-30}{300} [/tex]
Now solve for d
times both sides by 300
[tex] 0 \times 300 = \frac{2d-30}{300} \times 300 [/tex]
[tex] 0 = 2d-30 [/tex]
[tex] 0 +30 = 2d -30 +30 [/tex]
[tex] 30 = 2d [/tex]
[tex] \frac{30}{2} = \frac{2d}{2} [/tex]
[tex] 15 = d [/tex]
So now we have to find value of lowest temperature.
For that simply plug 15 in d place in original T function equation
[tex] T = \frac{(d-15)^{2}}{300} + 20 [/tex]
[tex] T = \frac{(15-15)^{2}}{300} + 20 [/tex]
[tex] T = 20 [/tex]
So T = 20 °C is the lowest average temperature and the answer.
