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

Do I need to put parentheses in this? Why it why not?
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Parentheses can change the result of the answer. If you want to add 4 and 0.95 first, then multiply that number by 3, then you need parentheses.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are given the question 3 X 4 + 0.95, it has to types of operations. <u>People solve using the order PEDMAS</u>:

Parentheses,

Exponents,

Division and Multiplication,

Addition and Subtraction.

Since there are <u>no parentheses</u> or exponents, the solver will do multiplication first, then addition.

3 X 4 + 0.95     Multiply first

= 12 + 0.95       Now add

= 12.95         Answer without parentheses

If you add <u>parentheses around 4 + 0.95</u>, the answer would change. According to PEDMAS, the parentheses must be solved before anything else.

3 X (4 + 0.95)       Add inside parentheses

= 3 X (4.95)       Now multiply

= 14.85           Answer with parentheses

If you added <u>parentheses around 3 X 4</u>, the answer would not change, because you still multiply first.

(3 X 4) + 0.95      Solving parentheses first

= 12 + 0.95       Add

= 12.95          Answer same as original
