6. The temperature at a state park for one day in June can be approximated by the function T(x) = 0.28x2 - 4.48x + 84 0 x 18 where T is degrees Fahrenheit and x is the number of hours after 5 PM on Friday. At what time is the temperature lowest? Round to the nearest hour. [Hint: Minimum occurs at xmim= -(b/2a) where b = -4.48 and a = 0.28. To find the time add Xmin to 5 PM.] Group of answer choices
