Answer:

A function is increasing when the gradient is positive

A function is decreasing when the gradient is negative

<u>Question 7</u>

If you draw a tangent to the curve in the interval x < -2 then the tangent will have a positive gradient, and so the function is increasing in this interval.

If you draw a tangent to the curve in the interval x > -2 then the tangent will have a negative gradient, and so the function is decreasing in this interval.

If you draw a tangent to the curve at the vertex of the parabola, it will be a horizontal line, and so the gradient at x = -2 will be zero.

The function is increasing when x < -2

(- \infty,-2)

The function is decreasing when x > -2

(-2, \infty)

<u>Additional information</u>

We can actually determine the intervals where the function is increasing and decreasing by differentiating the function.

The equation of this graph is:

f(x)=-2x^2-8x-8

\implies f'(x)=-4x-8

The function is increasing when f'(x) > 0

\implies -4x-8 > 0

\implies -4x > 8

\implies x < -2

The function is decreasing when f'(x) < 0

\implies -4x-8 < 0

\implies -4x < 8

\implies x > -2

This concurs with the observations made from the graph.

<u>Question 8</u>

This is a straight line graph. The gradient is negative, so:

The function is decreasing for all real values of x

(- \infty,+ \infty)

But if they want the interval for the grid only, it would be -4 ≤ x ≤ 1

[-4,1]

<u>Question 9</u>

If you draw a tangent to the curve in the interval x < -1 then the tangent will have a negative gradient, and so the function is decreasing in this interval.

If you draw a tangent to the curve in the interval x > -1 then the tangent will have a positive gradient, and so the function is increasing in this interval.

If you draw a tangent to the curve at the vertex of the parabola, it will be a horizontal line, and so the gradient at x = -1 will be zero.

The function is decreasing when x < -1

(- \infty,-1)

The function is increasing when x > -1

(-1, \infty)

Ishaan is 222 times as old as Christopher. 353535 years ago, Ishaan was 777 times as old as Christopher.
klemol [59]
<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

Ishaan is 2 times as old as Christopher. 35 years ago, Ishaan was 7 times as old as Christopher. How old is Christoper now?

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The present age of Christoper is 42 years old

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Ishaan is 2 times as old as Christoper

Let the present age of Christoper be "x"

Then, Present age of Ishaan = 2 times as old as Christoper

present age of Ishaan = 2x

<em><u>35 years ago, Ishaan was 7 times as old as Christopher</u></em>

Age of Ishaan 35 years ago = Present age of Ishaan - 35

Age of Ishaan 35 years ago = 2x - 35

Similarly,

Age of christoper 35 years ago = Present age of christoper - 35

Age of christoper 35 years ago = x - 35

From given statement, 35 years ago, Ishaan was 7 times as old as Christopher

Age of Ishaan 35 years ago = 7 times the age of Christoper 35 years ago

(2x - 35) = 7(x - 35)

<em><u>Solve the above equation for "x"</u></em>

2x - 35 = 7x - 245

2x - 7x = -245 + 35

-5x = -210

<h3>x = 42</h3>

Thus present age of Christoper is 42 years old

Anderson has $50 in his savings account. He deposits $5 every week. His father also deposits $20 into the account every time And
Sav [38]

Part A: 5 is the coefficient, w is the variable, 50 is the constant

Part B: 10 x 5 = 50 + 2 x 20 = 40+ 50 = $140

Part C: the constant,50,would change and become 85.  Hope this helps :)
