And how do you find its minimum value?
first ignore the square root and treat it normally:
f(x)=(2/5)x^2+10x+30
f(x)=(2/5)(x^2+10x+_)+30-(2/5)_
to complete the square, take the middle term, divide it by 2, and square it:
(10/2)^2=5^2=25
so
f(x)=(2/5)(x^2+10x+25)+20
f(x)=(2/5)(x+5)^2+20
now put the square root back
f(x)=((2/5)(x+5)^2+20)^(1/2)
f(x)=â[(2/5)x²+10x+30]
=â{2/5[x²+25x+(12.5)²]+(30-[12.5²][2/5]}
=â[2/5[x+12.5)²-32.5]
