Answer:

<h2><u><em>80</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-12 increased by half of a number is 28. What is the number?

-12 + 1/2x = 28

1/2x = 28 + 12

1/2x = 40

x = 40 * 2

x = 80

----------------------

check

-12+ 1/2 * 80 = 28

-12 + 40 = 28

28 = 28

this answer and the other answer are good

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

28-28=0

0-12= -12

28+12 = 40

28-40 = -12

40 is the increase

40 is half of 80

So, the answer is 80

To check: -12 + 40 (half of a number; 80) = 28

Hope this makes sense. If you require further information, do not hesitate to ask!

Which statements about the graph of the function f(x) = –x2 – 4x + 2 are true? Check all that apply. The domain is {x|x ≤ –2}. T
Leto [7]
The graph of the function f(x) =-x^2-4x + 2 is parabola with branches going down in the negative direction of y-axis. 
The vertex of parabola has coordinates:

x_v=\dfrac{-(-4)}{2\cdot(-1)}=-2, \\ y_v=-(-2)^2-4\cdot (-2)+2=-4+8+2=6

Then you can conclude that all x are possible, that means that the dimain is x\in (-\infty,\infty) and the maximum value of y is at the vertex, then the range is (-\infty,6].The function is increasing for x<-2 and decreasing for x>-2 (since vertex is the maximum point).
When x=0, y=2. 
Hence,
<span>The domain is {x|x ≤ –2} - false.
</span>
<span>The range is {y|y ≤ 6} - true.
</span>
<span>The function is increasing over the interval (–∞ , –2) - true.
</span>
<span>The function is decreasing over the interval (−4, ∞) - false.
</span>
<span>The function has a positive y-intercept - true.</span>
