Can you retype whatever you’re asking in this please?
Answer:
<u>No, it's not a function.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
This is not a function because the x-inputs repeat. It would be a function if each x-input was a different number, but the inputs 3 and 4 repeat twice. <u>Therefore, this is not a function.</u>
The answer is 16 2/3 as explained above
Answer:25,000(0.15)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
I think this is the answer because there are 25,000 gray wolf in the world and they are expected to grow by 15%. 15% is .15. So those two numbers multiplied, to the x exponent should give you the answer of how large the wolf population is expected to be.
If the discriminant b^2-4ac is 0, then you have TWO EQUAL, REAL ROOTS.
If you're given the x-intercepts, you can determine the factors of the polynomial as follows: Take -3, change the sign and write (x+3). Take 5, change the sign and write (x-5). Then the eq'n of the parabola is
f(x) = (x+3)(x-5) = x^2 - 2x -15, in which a=1, b = -2 and c= -15.
You can find the x-coordinate of the vertex, which is also the equation of the axis of symmetry, using
x= -b / (2a). Here, x = -(-2) / (2[1]), or x = 1
Find the y-coordinate by subbing 1 for x in the equation above:
y = (1)^2 - 2(1) - 15 = 1 - 2 - 15 = -16
The vertex is at (1, -16) and the equation of the axis of symm. is x = 1.
