If I am reading the equations correctly, they are:
   5x - 14 = 3x   AND  7x + 12 = x - 6

If this is correct, the first one would be worked out like this:
   5x (- 5x) - 14 = 3x (- 5x)
   - 14 = - 2x
   - 14 (/ - 2) = - 2x (/ - 2)
   7 = x

The second would be worked out like this:
    7x + 12 (+ 6) = x - 6 (+ 6)
    7x + 18 = x
    7x (- 7x) + 18 = x (- 7x)
    18 = - 6x
    18 (/ - 6) = - 6x (/ - 6)
    - 3 = x

I hope this is what you are looking for :)

Which statements about the graph of the function f(x) = -x2 - 4x + 2 are true? Select three options.
Nady [450]

Answer:

Domain is all real numbers.

The range is \{y|y\le 6\}

The function is increasing over (-\infty,-2).

The function is decreasing over (-2,\infty)

The function has a positive y-intercept.

-----------------This is a guess if I had interpreted your choices correctly:

Second option: The range is \{y|y\le 6\}

Third option:  The function is increasing over (-\infty,-2).

Last option:  The function has a positive y-intercept.

I can't really read some of your choices. So you can read my above and determine which is false. If you have a question about any of what I said above please let me know.

Note: I guess those 0's are suppose to be infinities? I hopefully your function is f(x)=-x^2-4x+2.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=-x^2-4x+2 is a polynomial function which mean it has domain of all real numbers.  All this sentence is really saying is that there exists a number for any value you input into -x^2-4x+2.

Now since the is a quadratic then it is a parabola. We know it is a quadratic because it is comparable to ax^2+bx+c, a \neq 0.

This means the graph sort of looks like a U or an upside down U.

It is U, when a>0.

It is upside down U, when a.

So here we have a=-1 so a which means the parabola is an upside down U.  

Let's look at the range.  We know the vertex is either the highest point (if a) or the lowest point (if a>0).

The vertex here will be the highest point, again since a.

The vertex's x-coordinate can be found by evaluating \frac{-b}{2a}:

\frac{-(-4)}{2(-1)}=\frac{4}{-2}=-2.

So the y-coordinate can be found by evaluate -x^2-4x+2 for x=-2:

-(-2)^2-4(-2)+2

-(4)+8+2

4+2

6

So the highest y-coordinate is 6.  The range is therefore (-\infty,6].

If you picture the upside down U in your mind and you know the graph is symmetrical about x=-2.

Then you know the parabola is increasing on (-\infty,-2) and decreasing on (-2,\infty).

So let's look at the intevals they have:

So on (-\infty,-2) the function is increasing.

Looking on (-4,\infty) the function is increasing on (-4,-2) but decreasing on the rest of that given interval.

The function's y-intercept can be found by putting 0 in for x:

-(0)^2-4(0)+2

-0-0+2

0+2

2

The y-intercept is positive since 2>0.
