Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph in the picture given is obviously a function of f(x) = x^3 which answers whether the graph is a function or not. In addition, the answer the part on why it's a graph, it's because it passes the vertical line test.

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x)=-0.05x^2+2.5x+5.2$

Where f(x) is height of the ball and x is the distance.

It is a polynomial function with degree 2. All polynomial functions are defined for all real numbers, therefore the mathematical domain of the function is all real numbers.

$-\infty$

Factorize the given function.

$f(x)=-0.05(x^2-50x-104)$

$f(x)=-0.05(x^2-52x+2x-104)$

$f(x)=-0.05(x(x-52)+2(x-52))$

$f(x) = -0.05 (x - 52) (x + 2)$

Put f(x)=0 to find the x intercepts.

$0 = -0.05 (x - 52) (x + 2)$

Equate each factor equal to 0.

$x=52,-2$

Therefore at x=52 and -2, the graph of f(x) intersects x-axis. Before x=-2 and after x=52 the values of f(x) is negative. Height cannot be negative, therefore reasonable domain is lie between -2 to 52.

Distance cannot be negative, therefore the reasonable domain must be positive.

$0\leq x\leq 52$

Therefore the reasonable domain is $0\leq x\leq 52$ and option 4 is correct.

HELP When 2((Three-fifths x + 2 and three-fourths y minus one-fourth x minus 1 and one-half y + 3)) is simplified, what is the r

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

<h2> StartFraction 7 over 10 EndFraction x + 2 and one-half y + 6</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression $2(\frac{3x}{5}+2\frac{3y}{4}-\frac{x}{4}-1 \frac{1}{2}y+3)$

To simplify the expression, we need to first collect the like terms of the functions in parentheses as shown;

$= 2(\frac{3x}{5}-\frac{x}{4}-1 \frac{1}{2}y+2\frac{3}{4}y+3)\\= 2(\frac{3x}{5}-\frac{x}{4}- \frac{3}{2}y+\frac{11}{4}y+3)\\$

Then we find the LCM of the resulting function

$= 2(\frac{3x}{5}-\frac{x}{4}- \frac{3}{2}y+\frac{11}{4}y+3)\\= 2(\frac{12x-5x}{20} - (\frac{6y-11y}{4})+3)\\= 2(\frac{7x}{20}- (\frac{-5y}{4})+3 )\\= 2(\frac{7x}{20}+ \frac{5y}{4}+3 )\\= \frac{7x}{10} + \frac{5y}{2} +6\\= \frac{7x}{10} + 2\frac{1}{2}y+6\\$
