The graph of y=ax+b, where a≠0, is always a line:

i) increasing if a>0
ii) decreasing if a<0

Consider the decreasing case.

The line is above the x-axis, that is positive but decreasing. At 1 single point it cuts the x-axis, so x=0, and then it continues decreasing below the x-axis.


Back to our problem:

The graph of y=-1/2 x +2 is a decreasing line.,

so it CANNOT be
"positive over the interval (4, infinity) and negative over the interval (-infinity, 4)"

it is 

"<span>negative over the interval (4, infinity) and  positive over the interval (-infinity, 4)</span>"



the graph is "<span>positive over the interval (-infinity, 4)</span>", it means that the line is decreasing but above the x-axis until 4, (4 not included).

then, "negative over the interval (4, infinity)", which means that the line is now decreasing below the x-axis.

when x=4, the line cuts the x-axis.

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know AC = BC since this is an isosceles triangle

6 = 2x+2

Subtract 2 from each side

6-2 =2x+2-2

4 =2x

Divide each side by 2

4/2 =2x/2

2=x

Marcellus sent four faxes to Gem. The first fax took 14 seconds to send, the second fax 19 seconds, the third 16 seconds, and th
Scrat [10]

It took 60 seconds to fax all documents to Gem

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple addition has to be done to solve the given problem

Given

total faxes = 4

Time for fax 1: t_1 = 14\ sec

Time for fax 2: t_2 = 19\ sec

Time for fax 3: t_3 = 16\ sec

Time for fax 4: t_4 = 11\ sec

The total time t will be:

t = t_1+t_2+t_3+t_4\\= 14+19+16+11\\= 60\ sec

Hence,

It took 60 seconds to fax all documents to Gem
