Classify each of the power functions based on their end behavior (increasing or decreasing) as x = ∞

Answer: right side behavior:

              f(x) is Decreasing

             g(x) is Increasing

             h(x) is Increasing

             j(x) is Decreasing

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The rules for end behavior are based on 2 criteria: Sign of leading coefficient and Degree of polynomial

<u>Sign of leading coefficient</u> (term with greatest exponent):

  • If sign is positive, then right side is increasing
  • If sign is negative, then right side is decreasing

<u>Degree of polynomial</u> (greatest exponent of polynomial:

  • If even, then end behavior is the same from the left and right
  • If odd, then end behavior is opposite from the left and right

f(x) = -2x²

  • Sign is negative so right side is decreasing
  • Degree is even so left side is the same as the right side (decreasing)

as x → +∞, f(x) → +∞  Decreasing

as x → -∞, f(x) → -∞   Decreasing

g(x) = (x + 2)³

  • Sign is positive so right side is increasing
  • Degree is odd so left side is opposite of the right side (decreasing)

as x → +∞, f(x) → +∞  Increasing

as x → -∞, f(x) → -∞   Decreasing

h(x)=-1+x^{\frac{1}{2}}\implies h(x)=x^{\frac{1}{2}}-1  

  • Sign is positive so right side is increasing
  • Degree is an even <u>fraction</u> so left side is opposite of the right side as it approaches the y-intercept (-1)

as x → +∞, f(x) → +∞  Increasing

as x → -∞, f(x) → -1    Decreasing to -1

j(x)=\dfrac{1}{2}(-x)^5\implies j(x)=\dfrac{1}{2}(-1)^5(x)^5\implies j(x)=-\dfrac{1}{2}x^5

  • Sign is negative so right side is decreasing
  • Degree is odd so left side is opposite of the right side (increasing)

as x → +∞, f(x) → +∞  Decreasing

as x → -∞, f(x) → -∞   Increasing

Is 4y - 8 &gt; 10 true?
steposvetlana [31]

4y-8>10

Add 8

4y-8+8>10+8

4y>18

Now divide both sides by 4

4y/4 > 18/4

y>9/2


Now let's see if it will be true

Replace y by its value

4(9/2)-8>10

36/2 -8 > 10

18-8 > 10

10 > 10

That's false because 10 can not smaller than 10

so it should be = instead


Answer : False


I hope that's help:)

Answer:

To solve this problem, we can use a system of equations.

We know the quadratic expression has the form

f(t)=at^{2}+bt

Using points (1,12) and (4,0), we can form the following system to find a and b.

12=a+b

0=16a+4b

We need to divide the second equation by -4 and sum both equations

12=a+b\\0=-4a-b

12=-3a\\a=\frac{12}{-3}\\ a=-4

Then, we use this value to find the other variable

12=a+b\\12=-4+b\\b=12+4\\b=16

<h3>Therefore, the quadratic function that models the situation is</h3>

f(t)=-4t^{2} +16t  or  f(t)=-4t(t-4)

According to this expression, after 2 seconds, the height is 16 feet.

f(2)=-4(2)(2-4)=-8(-2)=16
