Answer:
the graph has a minimum
Step-by-step explanation:
the minimum is -9
You can treat x and 2x+1 just as though they are real numbers.
So f(2x+1) = 3(2x+1) - 5 = 6x + 3 - 5 = 6x - 2
In the above, I made use of something called the distributive law which says that if a,b and c are real numbers, then a(b+c) = ab + ac.
Answer:
the 4th option
Step-by-step explanation:
x is greater than -6 but less than 2
-24a²- 6a +9 = - 3(8a² +6a - 9)
8a² +6a - 9 =0
x=(-b +/-√(b² - 4ac))/2a
x = (-6 +/-√(36+4*8*9) /(2*8) = (-6 +/-√(324) /16 = (-6 +/-18)/16
x1 = (-6 +18)/16 = 0.75
x2 = (-6 -18)/16 = - 1.5
-24a²- 6a +9 = - 3(8a² +6a - 9) = -3(a - 0.75)(a + 1.5)
