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.

Ten pieces of paper numbered consecutively from 1 to 10 are put into a hat. if three pieces of paper are drawn at random from th
DaniilM [7]

There are 5 even numbers from 1 to 10.


The number of ways to draw all even numbers is 5!/(2!*3!) = 10


The number of ways to draw from the hat is 10!/(7!*3!) = 128


Therefore the probability is 10/128 = 5/64 or roughly 7.81%

The hypotenuse of a right triangle measures 16 cm and one of its legs measures 11 cm.
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

11.6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

11^2+b^2=16^2

121+b^2=256

b^2=135

b=11.6

A 72,000 gallon water tower is being drained. Two thousand gallons are drained in the first hour. How many hours will it take to
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

To drain the water tower it will take 36 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A 72,000 water tower is being drained, and in an hour 2000 gallons are drained.

Now, to calculate the hours it would take to drain total 72,000 gallons of water, we should divide the gallons of water drained in one hour by total gallons of water in the tower.

Gallons of total water in the tower ÷ Gallons of water drained per hour

72000\div 2000

=\ 36

Therefore, to drain the water tower it will take 36 hours.
