Answer: The correct option is D.

Explanation:

The reciprocal function is in the form of rational function and negative exponent form.

The parent equation of reciprocal function is,

$f(x)=\frac{1}{x}$

It can be written as,

$f(x)=x^{-1}$

The domain of this function is all real numbers except 0 and range is all real number except zero.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

The function in option A and B are polynomial functions.

The function in option C is a modulus function.

Therefore, the options A,B and C are incorrect.

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 4 is 444. Find the multiples.<br> PLEASE ANS FAST PLS

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

144,148,152

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we will have, 4x + 4(x+1) + 4(x+2) = 444

=> x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 111 (dividing both sides by 4)

=>x + x+1 + x+2 =111

=> 3x + 3 = 111

=> 3x = 108

=> x = 36.

So, the three desired numbers 4x, 4(x+1) and 4(x+2) are,

4*36, 4*(36+1) and 4*(36+2)

That means the numbers are, 144, 148 and 152.

Find the rate of change

Tatiana [17]

$\bf slope = m = \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{ f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{ x_2 - x_1}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average~rate\\
of~change
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
h(x)= 2^x \qquad 
\stackrel{2\le x\le 4}{\begin{cases}
x_1=2\\
x_2=4
\end{cases}}\implies \cfrac{h(4)-h(2)}{4-2}\implies \cfrac{2^4-2^2}{2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{16-4}{2}\implies \cfrac{12}{2}\implies 6$
