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)

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the<br> graph of the equation 5x - 3y = 2?)
Advocard [28]

The slope of a line perpendicular to the

graph of the equation 5x - 3y = 2 is -3/5.

<h3>How to find the slope of a line?</h3>

given that the equation is 5x - 3y = 2.

now write the equation in standard form y = mx + b

then -3y = 2 - 5x

y = -2/3 + 5x/3

y = 5/3x - 2/3

m 1*m 2 = - 1 is the formula for the slopes from a pair of perpendicular lines. where the slopes of the lines are m 1 and m 2.

Here m1 = 5/3 and m2 = -3/5.

Hence,the slope of a line perpendicular to the

graph of the equation 5x - 3y = 2 is -3/5.

Which of the following is the equation of a line that passed though the points (2,5) and (4,3)
STatiana [176]

The correct answer is C as it has the same line of equation. We can make this clear by verifying that these two points make the same equation or not. So as we can see if we calculate the gradient using the formula y2 - y1 / x2 - x1.

As we now know that the gradient is -1. We can simply put any one point in the equation y - y1 = m(x - x1) to get the line of equation. WHen we calculate the line of equation it come out to be y = -x + 7
