(a)
f ( x ) x 2 + 8 x + 23
f ( x ) x 2 + 8 x + 23 ( x + a ) + b x 2 + 2ax + a 2 + b

(b)
f (x ) (x + 4) + 7
2
Since the coefficient of x2 > 0, the quadratic function has a minimum point.
Minimum value of f ( x ) is 7 and this occurs when (x + 4)2 = 0 i.e. x = 4
Also when x = 0, f ( x ) = 23

(4 x )x > 2 x 2
4 x x 2 > 2 x 2
4x + x2 > 0
x( x + 4 ) > 0
Solving this inequality, we get x > 0, x < 4
