Answer:

B.  f(x) = -x^3 - x^2 + 7x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we want to find the fastest-growing term in our given expressions and equate them when x is - infinite and when x is infinite to see the given trends.

For each of these equations, we will simply take the terms with the highest power and consider those.  The two cases we need to consider is + infinite for x and - infinite for x.  Let's check each of these equations.

Note, any value raised to an even power will be positive.  Any negative value raised to an odd power will be negative.

<u>[A] - x^4</u>

<em>When x is +∞ --> - (∞)^4 -->  f(x) is -∞</em>

<em>When x is -∞ --> - (-∞)^4 --> f(x) is -∞</em>

<em />

<u>[B] - x^3</u>

<em>When x is +∞ --> - (∞)^3 --> f(x) is -∞</em>

<em>When x is -∞ --> - (-∞)^3 --> f(x) is ∞</em>

<em />

<u>[C] 2x^5</u>

<em>When x is +∞ --> 2(∞)^5 --> f(x) is ∞</em>

<em>When x is -∞ --> 2(-∞)^5 --> f(x) is -∞</em>

<em />

<u>[D] x^4</u>

<em>When x is +∞ --> (∞)^4 --> f(x) is ∞</em>

<em>When x is -∞ --> (-∞)^4 --> f(x) is ∞</em>

<em />

Notice how only option B, when looking at asymptotic (fastest-growing) values, satisfies the originally given conditions for the relation of x to f(x).

Cheers.

What is the equation of the line that has a slope of m = 2 and passes through the point (-5, -6)?
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

y=2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this two ways: insert the values into point-slope form and simplify to solve for y, converting it to slope-intercept form, <em>or</em><em> </em>insert the values into slope-intercept form, solve for b, and insert b. We'll do both :)

<em><u>Point-slope form:</u></em>

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})

Where:

  • m is the slope
  • x_{1} and y_{1} are corresponding coordinate points (x,y)

Insert the given values:

m=2\\\\(-5_{x_{1}},-6_{y_{1}})\\\\y-(-6)=2(x-(-5))\\\\y+6=2(x+5)

Solve for y. Expand the right sie using the distributive property:

y+6=2(x)+2(5)\\\\y+6=2x+10

Isolate the variable. Subtract 6 from both sides, canceling out the 6 on the left:

y+6-6=2x+10-6\\\\y=2x+4

<em>OR</em>

<em></em>

<em><u>Slope-intercept form:</u></em>

y=mx+b

Where:

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept
  • x and y are corresponding coordinate points (x,y)

Insert the given values:

m=2\\\\(-5_{x},-6_{y})\\\\-6=2(-5)+b

Simplify the multiplication:

-6=-10+b

Solve for b. Add 10 to both sides, canceling out the 10 on the right:

-6+10=-10+10+b\\\\4=b

The value of b is 4. Insert the appropriate information into the equation. When using slope-intercept form, you don't plug in the coordinate points:

y=2x+4

The formula for the area is length times width, so for question 17, multiply those two numbers together.

If he drives 9 miles to work per day and works 5 days a week, you would need to get the total of miles per week. Then, once you do, multiply that number by 52.

During his shift, Damion filled 8 orders in 30 minutes. If he keeps up that rate, how many orders will he fill in 7 hours?
Veronika [31]
The answer is 28
30 minutes is half of an hour so you have to divide 7 by 2 which is 3.5 and then multiply 3.5 by 8 to get 28
