Hello there!

To find the increasing intervals for this graph just based on the equation, we should find the turning points first.

Take the derivative of f(x)...
f(x)=-x²+3x+8
f'(x)=-2x+3

Set f'(x) equal to 0...
0=-2x+3
-3=-2x
3/2=x

This means that the x-value of our turning point is 3/2. Now we need to analyze the equation to figure out the end behavior of this graph as x approaches infinity and negative infinity.
Since the leading coefficient is -1, as x approaches ∞, f(x) approaches -∞ Because the exponent of the leading term is even, the end behavior of f(x) as x approaches -∞ is also -∞.

This means that the interval by which this parabola is increasing is...
(-∞,3/2)

PLEASE DON'T include 3/2 on the increasing interval because it's a turning point. The slope of the tangent line to the turning point is 0 so the graph isn't increasing OR decreasing at this point.

I really hope this helps!
Best wishes :)

Finding out how many events can someone attend with the cost of $36
Tcecarenko [31]
They're allowed to join for $15. And for every event, they have to pay $3.

3x = 21

x = 7

Someone who has $36 can attend 7 events.

1. The equation y=x^2-9x+20 models the roller coasters path over time. The variable y represents height (in feet) above or below
azamat

Answer:

1) the factored form is  y= ( x-5 ) ( x+4 )

2) the vertex is (4.5, -0.25)

3) the y intercept is when x equals 0 so it is at (0,20)

4) it opens upward and the vertex is (4.5, -0.25) the x intercepts are (4,0) and (5,0) and the y intercept is  (0,20)

5)

a. it dips  between 4 seconds and 5 seconds so the x intercepts are (4,0) and (5,0)

b. it is taken at the vertex aka the lowest point so the height is -0.25
