horrorfan [7]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A)  See attached for graph.

B)  (-3, 0)  (0, 0)  (18, 0)

C)   (-3, 0) ∪ [3, 18)

Step-by-step explanation:

Piecewise functions have <u>multiple pieces</u> of curves/lines where each piece corresponds to its definition over an <u>interval</u>.

Given piecewise function:

g(x)=\begin{cases}x^3-9x \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \textsf{if }x < 3\\-\log_4(x-2)+2 \quad  \textsf{if }x\geq 3\end{cases}

Therefore, the function has two definitions:

  • g(x)=x^3-9x \quad \textsf{when x is less than 3}
  • g(x)=-\log_4(x-2)+2 \quad \textsf{when x is more than or equal to 3}

<h3><u>Part A</u></h3>

When <u>graphing</u> piecewise functions:

  • Use an open circle where the value of x is <u>not included</u> in the interval.
  • Use a closed circle where the value of x is <u>included</u> in the interval.
  • Use an arrow to show that the function <u>continues indefinitely</u>.

<u>First piece of function</u>

Substitute the endpoint of the interval into the corresponding function:

\implies g(3)=(3)^3-9(3)=0 \implies (3,0)

Place an open circle at point (3, 0).

Graph the cubic curve, adding an arrow at the other endpoint to show it continues indefinitely as x → -∞.

<u>Second piece of function</u>

Substitute the endpoint of the interval into the corresponding function:

\implies g(3)=-\log_4(3-2)+2=2 \implies (3,2)

Place an closed circle at point (3, 2).

Graph the curve, adding an arrow at the other endpoint to show it continues indefinitely as x → ∞.

See attached for graph.

<h3><u>Part B</u></h3>

The x-intercepts are where the curve crosses the x-axis, so when y = 0.

Set the <u>first piece</u> of the function to zero and solve for x:

\begin{aligned}g(x) & = 0\\\implies x^3-9x & = 0\\x(x^2-9) & = 0\\\\\implies x^2-9 & = 0 \quad \quad \quad \implies x=0\\x^2 & = 9\\\ x & = \pm 3\end{aligned}

Therefore, as x < 3, the x-intercepts are (-3, 0) and (0, 0) for the first piece.

Set the <u>second piece</u> to zero and solve for x:

\begin{aligned}\implies g(x) & =0\\-\log_4(x-2)+2 & =0\\\log_4(x-2) & =2\end{aligned}

\textsf{Apply log law}: \quad \log_ab=c \iff a^c=b

\begin{aligned}\implies 4^2&=x-2\\x & = 16+2\\x & = 18 \end{aligned}

Therefore, the x-intercept for the second piece is (18, 0).

So the x-intercepts for the piecewise function are (-3, 0), (0, 0) and (18, 0).

<h3><u>Part C</u></h3>

From the graph from part A, and the calculated x-intercepts from part B, the function g(x) is positive between the intervals -3 < x < 0 and 3 ≤ x < 18.

Interval notation:  (-3, 0) ∪ [3, 18)

The table shows three values of x and their corresponding values of f (x) for a linear function f, such that f (r) = 0 and f (0)
Rus_ich [418]

Using a linear function, it is found that the product rs is rs = 81.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

In this problem, when x changes by 68(from -64 to 68), y changes by -16(from 12 to -4), hence the slope is given by:

m = -16/64 = -0.25.

Hence:

y = -0.25x + b.

When x = 34, y = -4, hence this is used to find b.

-4 = -0.25(34) + b

b = 4.5.

Hence the function is:

y = -0.25x + 4.5.

f(r) = 0, hence:

-0.25x + 4.5 = 0

x = 4.5/0.25

x = 18

r = 18.

f (0) = s, hence s = 4.5.

Then the value of the product is:

rs = 18 x 4.5 = 81.

What is the GCF of (8x-6) <br><br>sos T-T
makvit [3.9K]

Hi student, let me help you out! :)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We are asked to find the G.C.F. of 8x-6.

\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}

  • G.C.F. stands for Greatest Common Factor.

So what is the G.C.F. of 8x-6? We can list all of their common factors and then select the greatest one, like so:

\longmapsto\bf{Factors\;of\;8x:} 1, 2, 4, 8, x

\longmapsto\bf{Factors\;of\;-6:} -1, 1, 2, -3, 3, -6, 6

So the GCF is:

2

Now, we can also factor it out by placing it outside the parentheses ():

2(4x-3)

See, we factored it out by dividing both terms of the expression by the G.C.F.

\ddot\bigstar Remember this...

\fbox{\bf{We\;factor\;out\;the\;G.C.F.\;by\;dividing\;all\;the\;terms\;of\;the\;expression\;by\;it}}

Hope this helps you out! :D
