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)

Factor the trinomial x^2 - 2x - 8
ValentinkaMS [17]
Well what two numbers multiply to get -8 and add to get -2?
Well, to get -8, we either have (-1,8),(-2,4),(-4,2),(-8,1)
8-1=7
-2+4=2
2-4=-2
1-8=-7
Thus it should be (-4,2),
This means we should get (X-4)(X+2)

m) 2.597= 2 .0+ 0.5+ 0.09+0.007

Step-by-step explanation:

A medida que nos alejamos del punto decimal, el número de ceros aumenta y el dígito se mueve hacia la derecha.

Los valores después del decimal se denominan décimas, centésimas y milésimas.

a) 1.585 =1.0 + 0.5+ 0.08+0.005

b) 1.059= 1 .0+ 0.0+ 0.05+0.009

c) 2.440 = 2.0 + 0.4+ 0.04

d) 5.329= 5.0 + 0.3+ 0.02+0.009

One kitten weighs 2 lbs 4 oz. Another kitten weighs 2 oz less. What is the combined weight of the two kittens in oz?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

70 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that one kitten weighs 2 lbs 4 oz. and the other ways 2 lbs 2 oz all you need to do is add that together to get 4 lbs 6 oz then convert that into lbs (1 lbs = 16 oz)

In total the 4 lbs gets you 64 oz, then you just need to add the 6 remaining oz to get 70 lbs!
