Answer:

The attached image shows the graph for the given function.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

$y = -2\ln(x)$

We have to graph the given function.

Properties of given function:

The given function is a log function of the form $y = c\log_a(x) + b$
Here a = e(exponential constant), b = 0 and c = -2
There are no y intercept for the given function.
The x-intercept is $(1,0)$
The range of the given function is $(-\infty,\infty)$
The domain of the given function is $(0,\infty)$

The attached image shows the graph for the given function.

Wally wants to determine the height of a statue that casts a 164-inch shadow by comparing it to his own height and shadow length

nataly862011 [7]

We have been given that Wally wants to determine the height of a statue that casts a 164-inch shadow by comparing it to his own height and shadow length. Wally is 68 inches tall, casts a shadow that is 41 inches in length.

We will use proportions to solve for the height of the statue because proportions state that ratio between two proportional quantities is same.

$\frac{\text{Height of statue}}{\text{Shadow of statue}}=\frac{\text{Height of Wally}}{\text{Shadow of Wally}}$

Upon substituting our given values in above equation, we will get:

$\frac{\text{Height of statue}}{\text{164 cm}}=\frac{\text{68 inch}}{\text{41 inch}}$

$\frac{\text{Height of statue}}{\text{164 cm}}\times \text{164 cm}=\frac{\text{68 inch}}{\text{41 inch}}\times \text{164 cm}$

$\text{Height of statue}=\frac{\text{68 inch}}{1}\times 4$

$\text{Height of statue}=272\text{ inches}$

Therefore, the height of the statue is 272 inches.

4x^2-5x-15=0 how to find the vertex and y intercept

mezya [45]

$ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\the\ vertex:\left(\frac{-b}{2a};\frac{-(b^2-4ac)}{4a}\right)\\\\y-intrcept=c\\=======================================\\\\4x^2-5x-15=0\\\\a=4;\ b=-5;\ c=-15\\\\\frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{-(-5)}{2\cdot4}=\frac{5}{8};\ \frac{-(b^2-4ac)}{4a}=\frac{-[(-5)^2-4\cdot4\cdot(-15)]}{4\cdot4}=-\frac{265}{16}\\\\\boxed{the\ vertex:\left(\frac{5}{8};-\frac{265}{16}\right)}\\\\\boxed{y-intercept:-15}$
