Your insight that the function values differ by 5 every time is very important. So your f(x) will contain 5x as a term. You have to find a constant to add or subtract to make sure f(1)=-2.
f(x) = 5x-7 does the job.
If the vertex was at (-9,-5), then the range will only be ≤-5 or ≥-5.
The range could either be [-5,∞) or (-∞,-5].
B is 50 and A is all of them?
Answer: 1/(4a^2) + 1/(3a) + 1/9
Step-by-step explanation:
= (1/2a + 1/3)(1/2a + 1/3)
= 1/(4a^2) + 1/(6a) + 1/(6a) + 1/9
= 1/(4a^2) + 2/(6a) + 1/9
= 1/(4a^2) + 1/(3a) + 1/9
