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)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean (average) of a data set is found by adding all numbers in the data set and then dividing by the number of values in the set. The median is the middle value when a data set is ordered from least to greatest.

Hope this help

Solve −2x2 +3x − 9 = 0
luda_lava [24]
-2x^2 + 3x - 9 = 0
The quadratic is not factorable so quadratic formula must be used.
x = (-b + - √(b^2 - 4ac))/2a
a = -2, b = 3, c = -9
x = (-3 + - √(9 - 4*-2*-9))/-4
x = (-3 + - √(-63))/-4
x = -3 + - 3i√7
     --------------
           -4
x = 3 + 3i√7            x = 3 - 3i√7
    ------------                ------------
