"T<u>he function is decreasing":</u>
This means the slope of the function will be negative at the given point. Anywhere the line is going down, from left to right, is decreasing. This eliminates choices A and C.
<u>"The function is concave down":</u>
This means the curve of the function will be open down (think of an upside down u). This eliminates choice E.
<u>"f(x)>0":</u>
This is anywhere the curve is above the x axis. This eliminates choice D.
The answer is Choice B) x=2.
Hope this helps!!
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: f(x) = 4 if -1 ≤x ≤ 1
f(x) = x - 1 if 3≤ x ≤ 5
Step-by-step explanation:
if -1 ≤x ≤ 1
We can see that in this range the function is constant, f(x) = 4
if 3≤ x ≤ 5
In this region we can see a linear relationship, with the points (3, 2) and (5, 4)
as the extremes, we can find the slope of this linear equation as:
s = (4 - 2)/(5 - 3) = 2/2 = 1
So our equation is
f(x) = 1*x + b
to find the value of b we can evaluate our function in the first point, we know that when x = 3, y = 2, so we have:
2 = 1*3 + b
b = 2- 3 = -1
then f(x) = 1*x - 1
Then we have:
f(x) = 4 if -1 ≤x ≤ 1
f(x) = x - 1 if 3≤ x ≤ 5
