Answer: Because the a-value is negative.

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

The vertex form of a quadratic equation is: y = a(x - h)² + k where

"a" is the vertical stretch
-a is a reflection over the x-axis
h is the horizontal shift (positive = right, negative = left)
k is the vertical shift (positive = up, negative = down)

Given: g(x) = - (x + 1)² - 3

↓

a= -1

Since the a-value is negative, the parabola will be reflected over the x-axis which will change the curve from (U-shaped) to (∩-shaped).

Identify the functions that are continuous on the set of real numbers and arrange them in ascending order of their limits as x t

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

g(x)<j(x)<k(x)<f(x)<m(x)<h(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $f(x)=\frac{x^2+x-20}{x^2+4}$

The denominator of f is defined for all real values of x

Therefore, the function is continuous on the set of real numbers

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\frac{x^2+x-20}{x^2+4}=\frac{25+5-20}{25+4}=\frac{10}{29}=0.345$

3. $h(x)=\frac{3x-5}{x^2-5x+7}$

$x^2-5x+7=0$

It cannot be factorize .

Therefore, it has no real values for which it is not defined .

Hence, function h is defined for all real values.

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\frac{3x-5}{x^2-5x+7}=\frac{15-5}{25-25+7}=\frac{10}{7}=1.43$

2. $g(x)=\frac{x-17}{x^2+75}$

The denominator of g is defined for all real values of x.

Therefore, the function g is continuous on the set of real numbers

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\frac{x-17}{x^2+75}=\frac{5-17}{25+75}=\frac{-12}{100}=-0.12$

4. $i(x)=\frac{x^2-9}{x-9}$

x-9=0

x=9

The function i is not defined for x=9

Therefore, the function i is not continuous on the set of real numbers.

5. $j(x)=\frac{4x^2-7x-65}{x^2+10}$

The denominator of j is defined for all real values of x.

Therefore, the function j is continuous on the set of real numbers.

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\frac{4x^2-7x-65}{x^2+10}=\frac{100-35-65}{25+10}=0$

6. $k(x)=\frac{x+1}{x^2+x+29}$

$x^2+x+29=0$

It cannot be factorize .

Therefore, it has no real values for which it is not defined .

Hence, function k is defined for all real values.

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\frac{x+1}{x^2+x+29}=\frac{5+1}{25+5+29}=\frac{6}{59}=0.102$

7. $l(x)=\frac{5x-1}{x^2-9x+8}$

$x^2-9x+8=0$

$x^2-8x-x+8=0$

$x(x-8)-1(x-8)=0$

$(x-8)(x-1)=0$

$x=8,1$

The function is not defined for x=8 and x=1

Hence, function l is not defined for all real values.

8. $m(x)=\frac{x^2+5x-24}{x^2+11}$

The denominator of m is defined for all real values of x.

Therefore, the function m is continuous on the set of real numbers.

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\frac{x^2+5x-24}{x^2+11}=\frac{25+25-24}{25+11}=\frac{26}{36}=\frac{13}{18}=0.722$

g(x)<j(x)<k(x)<f(x)<m(x)<h(x)

Fill in the blanks.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Hi there! I can help you.

Rate: To find the rate, let’s divide interest earned by the principal. When you do, you get 0.15. Multiply by 100 to get 15 and divide by 3 to get 5. The simple interest rate is 5%.

New balance: All you have to do is add the principal and he new balance. When you do, you get 517.5. The new balance is $517.50.
