Answer:

The function is decreasing.

The domain is all real numbers.

The range is all real numbers.

I can't read your other options.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=-3x is a linear function.

I know this because it is in the form of f(x)=mx+b.

The degree is also 1. If the degree is 1 then the polynomial is linear.

Anyways it is in the slope-intercept form of f(x)=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Comparing the following two:

f(x)=mx+b

f(x)=-3x

Tells us the slope is -3 while the y-intercept is 0.

If the slope is negative, the function decreases.

If the slope is positive, the function increases.

If the slope is 0, then it neither increases nor decreases.

So since -3 well is negative, then the function decreases.

Since linear functions are continuous and ours is either decreasing/increase (decreasing), then the function hits every x and y value so the domain and range is all real numbers.

If EF = 6 and EG = 21, find the value of FG. The drawing is not to scale.

insens350 [35]

EF = 6

EG = 21

You would subtract EF from EG to find FG:

21 - 6 = 15.

The answer is B.) 15

Data from Previous Truck Head Gaskets

AlladinOne [14]

If we take a look at the data presented in the chart we can see the damage that the head gasket on truck suffers according to the ambient temperature. The correct answer is letter C) because there is a negative slope that is less than one and the y-intercept begins 14 units up the y-axis.

Based on the results from part C, which two statements correctly interpret actions the business should take? If material 2 is us

Serjik [45]

The profit function is the difference between the cost and the revenue functions.

The true statement is (a) If material 2 is used, Carrie will earn a profit if she sells chairs for more than $150 each.

<h3>How to determine the true profit functions</h3>

From the complete questions, the profit functions are calculated as follows:

<u>Material 1</u>

$P(x) = 5000000- 20000x - 200000x + 2000x^2$

$P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2$

<u>Material 2</u>

$P(x) = 4000000 - 10000x - 160000x+ 1000x^2$

$P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2$

<u>Material 3</u>

$P(x) = 2000000 - 5000x - 54000x - 270x^2$

$P(x) = 2000000 -59000x - 270x^2$

Next, we test the options

Option 1: When material 2 is used

A price is greater than $150 is $151.

Calculate P(151) using $P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(151) = 4000000-170000 * 151+ 1000* 151^2$

$P(151) = 1131000$

P(151) is greater than 0; this represents a profit

Hence, option (1) is true

Option 2: When material 1 is used

A price is less than $50 is $49.

Calculate P(49) using $P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(49) = 5000000-220000 * 49 + 2000* 49^2$

$P(49) =-978000$

P(49) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (2) is false

Option 3: When material 3 is used

Calculate P(45) and P(160) using $P(x) = 2000000 -59000x - 270x^2$

So, we have:

$P(45) = 2000000 -59000 * 45 - 270 * 45^2$

$P(45) = -1201750$

P(45) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (3) is false

Option 1: When material 2 is used

Calculate P(30) and P(120) using $P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(30) = 4000000-170000*30+ 1000*30^2$

$P(30) = -200000$

P(30) is less than 0; this represents a loss

Hence, option (4) is false

Option 2: When material 1 is used

Calculate P(40) and P(70) using $P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(40) = 5000000-220000*40 + 2000*40^2$

$P(40) = -600000$

P(49) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (5) is false

The above means that:

The true statement is (a) If material 2 is used, Carrie will earn a profit if she sells chairs for more than $150 each.
