5x - 9 = 26
5x - 9 + 9 = 26 + 9
5x = 35
5x/5 = 35/5
X = 7
A) part of it is decreasing, part of it is increasing.
Going left-to-right, the downhill/negative slope is the decreasing portion (x<-1) and the uphill/positive slope is the increasing portion (x>-1).
B) The x-intercepts are the points where the graph intersects the x-axis: (2,0) and (-4,0).
C: The y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis: (0,-2).
D: There is no absolute maximum. The graph keeps going up forever.
E: The absolute minimum <u>point</u> is at that bottom, at (-1, -3). The absolute minimum <u>value</u> is -3, since that's the lowest y-value used.
Step-by-step explanation:
This isn't. a true identity.

Answer: 800
Divide 3200 by 4 to get 800.
