How would you describe the difference between the graphs of f(x) = x^2 +4 and<br> g(y) - y^2 +4?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x)=x^2+4 is a positive upwards opening parabola with the vertex at (0, 4), whereas

the function g(y)=y^2+4 is a positive rightwards opening parabola (sideways parabola) with the vertex at (4, 0). This means that answer to this is that g(y) is reflected over the x axis whereas f(x) is reflected over the y axis.

At what point is the function y=(x+3)/(x^(2)-7x+12) continuous
nika2105 [10]

If a function is defined as

h(x)=\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}

where both f(x),g(x) are continuous functions, then h(x) is also continuous where defined, i.e. where g(x)\neq0

So, in your case, this function is continous everywhere, except where

x^2-7x+12=0

To solve this equation, we can use the formula x^2-sx+p=0

It means that, if the leading terms is 1, then the x coefficient is the opposite of the sum of the roots, and the constant term is the product of the roots.

So, we're looking for two terms whose sum is 7, and whose product is 12. These numbers are easily found to be 3 and 4.

So, this function is continuous for every real number different than 3 or 4.

Three times as many children as adults attended a concert on Saturday. An adult ticket cost $7 and a child’s ticket cost $3. The
Ierofanga [76]

For this case we propose a system of equations:

x: Let the variable representing the number of children in the concert

y: Let the variable representing the number of adults at the concert

According to the assistance we have:

x = 3y

According to the cost we have:

3x + 7y = 6000

Substituting the first in the second equation we have:

3 (3y) + 7y = 6000\\9y + 7y = 6000\\16y = 6000\\y = \frac {6000} {16}\\y = 375

Thus, the concert was 375 adults.

On the other hand we have:

x = 3 (375) = 1125

Thus, the concert was 1125 children.

In total they were:

375 + 1125 = 1500 people

ANswer:

The concert was 1500 people
