It's a good thing that the domain is confined or the graph is. That function is undefined if x < - 3
At exactly x = - 3, f(x) = 0 and that's your starting point.
So look what happens to this graph. If x = 0, f(0) = y = 3. So we are starting to see that as x get's larger so does f(x). The graph tells us that x = 0 is bigger than x = - 3.
Let's keep on plugging things in.
As x increases to 5, f(5) = 5. x = 5 is larger than x = 0, and f(5) > 3.
One more and then we'll start drawing conclusions. If x = 9 then f(9) = y = 6.
x = 9 is larger than x = 5. f(9) = 6 is just larger than f(5) which is 5
OK I think we should be ready to look at answers. There's nothing there that makes the answer anything but a. Let's find out what the problem is with the rest of the choices.
B
The problem with B is that as x increases, f(x) does not decrease. We didn't find one example of that. So B is wrong.
C
C has exactly the same problem as B.
D
The second statement in D is incorrect. As x increases f(x) never decreases. No example showed that.
The answer is A <<<< Answer.
Multiply using the distributive property so it would be 5x+60
"Product" signifies multiplication, and "half" means divide by two (or multiply by 1/2). So half the product of b and c is (bc)/2 or (1/2)(bc).
Answer:
84 sq meters
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Approach
In order to solve this problem, one will have to divide the figure up into simple shapes. A picture is attached showing how the shape is divided up for this answer. Find the area of each region, then add up the results to find the total area.
2. Area of Region 1
As one can see, the length of (Region 1), as given is (6), the width is (3). To find the area multiply the length by the width.
Length * width
6 * 3
= 18
3. Area of Region 2
In (Region 2), the length is given, (12). However, one must find the width, this would be the size of the total side, minus the width of (Region 1). Multiply the length by the side to find the area.
Length * width
= 12 * (8 - 3)
= 12 * 5
= 60
4. Area of Region 3
In (Region 3), the length of the figure is (2), the width is (3). To find the area, multiply the length by the width.
Length * width
= 2 * 3
= 6
5. Total area
Now add up the area of each region to find the total rea,
(Region 1) + (Region 2) + ( Region 3)
= 18 + 60 + 6
= 84
