Your post would be clearer if you'd please put each function on its own line:
f(x) = (x + 4)2 + 4
f(x) = –(x + 4)2 + 4
f(x) = (x – 4)2 – 4
f(x) = –(x – 4)2 – 4
Also, use "^2" to denote "squaring." x2 has no meaning.
f(x) = (x + 4)^2 + 4 has a parabolic graph with vertex (-4,4). It increases steadily once x is greater than -4. Reject this choice.
f(x) = –(x + 4)^2 + 4 has a parab. graph with vertex (-4,4) also. It decreases steadily once x is greaster than -4. This is the answer.
Analyze the other 2 possible answers in the same way, please.
0.0166 because it’s bigger than all other numbers
Yes I think so if not am sorry
This is how I would solve it:
1st # = x 4(x+1)=3x+18
2nd # = x+1 4x+4=3x+18
4x=3x+14
x=14
To check: 15x4=60; 60-42=18. <u>1st # = 14; 2nd # = 15.</u>
