<span>The y-intercept of  is  .
Of course, it is 3 less than  , the y-intercept of  .
Subtracting 3 does not change either the regions where the graph is increasing and decreasing, or the end behavior. It just translates the graph 3 units down.
It does not matter is the function is odd or even.

First of all, let's review the definition of some concepts.


Even and odd functions:


A function is said to be even if its graph is <em>symmetric with respect to the</em> y-axis, that is:


y=f(x) \ is \ \mathbf{even} \ if, \ for \ each \ x \ in \ the \ domain \ of \ f, \\ f(-x)=f(x)


On the other hand, a function is said to be odd if its graph is <em>symmetric with respect to the origin</em>, that is:


y=f(x) \ is \ \mathbf{odd} \ if, \ for \ each \ x \ in \ the \ domain \ of \ f, \\ f(-x)=-f(x)


Analyzing each question for each type of functions using examples of polynomial functions. Thus:



FOR EVEN FUNCTIONS:


1. When f(x) becomes f(x)-3 


1.1 Effects on the y-intercept


We need to find out the effects on the y-intercept when shifting the function f(x) into:


f(x)-3


We know that the graph f(x) intersects the y-axis when x=0, therefore:


y=f(0) \ is \ the \ y-intercept \ of \ f


So:


y=f(0)-3 \ is \ the \ new \ y-intercept


So the y-intercept of f(x)-3 is three units less than the y-intercept of f(x)


1.2. Effects on the regions where the graph is increasing and decreasing


Given that you are shifting the graph downward on the y-axis, there is no any effect on the intervals of the domain. The function f(x)-3 increases and decreases in the same intervals of f(x)


1.3 The end behavior when the following changes are made.


The function is shifted three units downward, so each point of f(x)-3 has the same x-coordinate but the output is three units less than the output of f(x). Thus, each point will be sketched as:



For \ y=f(x): \\ P(x_{0},f(x_{0})) \\ \\ For \ y=f(x)-3: \\ P(x_{0},f(x_{0})-3)



FOR ODD FUNCTIONS:


2. When f(x) becomes f(x)-3 


2.1 Effects on the y-intercept 


In this case happens the same as in the previous case. The new y-intercept is three units less. So the graph is shifted three units downward again.


An example is shown in Figure 1. The graph in blue is the function:


y=f(x)=x^3-x


and the function in red is:


y=f(x)-3=x^3-x-3


This function is odd, so you can see that:


y-intercept \ of \ f(x)=0 \\ y-intercept \ of \ f(x)-3=-3


2.2. Effects on the regions where the graph is increasing and decreasing


The effects are the same just as in the previous case. So the new function increases and decreases in the same intervals of f(x)


In Figure 1 you can see that both functions increase and decrease at the same intervals.


2.3 The end behavior when the following changes are made.


It happens the same, the output is three units less than the output of f(x). So, you can write the points just as they were written before. 


So you can realize this concept by taking a point with the same x-coordinate of both graphs in Figure 1.


FOR EVEN FUNCTIONS:


3. When f(x) becomes -2.f(x) 


3.1 Effects on the y-intercept 


As we know the graph f(x) intersects the y-axis when x=0, therefore:


y=f(0) \ is \ the \ y-intercept \ again


And:


y=-2f(0) \ is \ the \ new \ y-intercept


So the new y-intercept is the negative of the previous intercept multiplied by 2.


3.2. Effects on the regions where the graph is increasing and decreasing


In the intervals when the function f(x) increases, the function -2f(x) decreases. On the other hand, in the intervals when the function f(x) decreases, the function -2f(x) increases. 


3.3 The end behavior when the following changes are made.


Each point of the function -2f(x) has the same x-coordinate just as the function f(x) and the y-coordinate is the negative of the previous coordinate multiplied by 2, that is:


For \ y=f(x): \\ P(x_{0},f(x_{0})) \\ \\ For \ y=-2f(x): \\ P(x_{0},-2f(x_{0}))



FOR ODD FUNCTIONS:


4. When f(x) becomes -2f(x) 


See example in Figure 2


y=f(x)=x^3-x


and the function in red is:


y=-2f(x)=-2(x^3-x)


4.1 Effects on the y-intercept 


In this case happens the same as in the previous case. The new y-intercept is the negative of the previous intercept multiplied by 2.


4.2. Effects on the regions where the graph is increasing and decreasing


In this case it happens the same. So in the intervals when the function f(x) increases, the function -2f(x) decreases. On the other hand, in the intervals when the function f(x) decreases, the function -2f(x) increases. 


4.3 The end behavior when the following changes are made.


Similarly, each point of the function -2f(x) has the same x-coordinate just as the function f(x) and the y-coordinate is the negative of the previous coordinate multiplied by 2.

The second step in the process for factoring the trinomial is to:
emmainna [20.7K]
Example:  <span>the second step in the process for factoring the trinomial x^2-3x-40 is to:</span> <span>Well you really should find the sum of the factors of −40 (not 40) </span>
<span>But before you can do that, you need to LIST the factors of −40 (not 40) </span>
<span>−1 * 40 </span>
<span>−2 * 20 </span>
<span>−4 * 10 </span>
<span>−5 * 8 </span>
<span>−8 * 5 </span>
<span>−10 * 4 </span>
<span>−20 * 2 </span>
<span>−40 * 1 </span>

<span>NOW we find the sum of the factors of −40 </span>
<span>−1 + 40 = 39 </span>
<span>−2 + 20 = 18 </span>
<span>−4 + 10 = 6 </span>
<span>−5 + 8 = 3 </span>
<span>−8 + 5 = −3 </span>
<span>−10 + 4 = −6 </span>
<span>−20 + 2 = −18 </span>
<span>−40 + 1 = −39 </span>

<span>Then we choose the factors of −40 whose sum is −3 ---> −8 and 5 </span>
<span>x^2 − 3x − 40 = (x − 8) (x + 5) </span>

<span>So FIRST step is B, SECOND step is C, and final step is factoring. </span>
What Rita did was combine these 2 steps together, which you will learn to do as you get better at factoring.

A spinner is divided into 4 sections. The spinner is spun 100 times. The probability distribution shows the results.
Vitek1552 [10]

P(1≤x≤3) defined the probability that the result is between 1 and 3, included. You can answer this question in two ways:

1. Sum the probabilities of good events:

From the graph, we have

P(x=1) = 0.32,\quad P(x=2) = 0.24,\quad P(x=3) = 0.28

So,

P(1\leq x \leq 3) = 0.32+0.24+0.28 = 0.84

2. Use complementary probabilities

Asking that the result is 1, 2 or 3 is the same as asking that the result is not 4. The probability that the result is 4 is 0.16, so the probability that the result is not 4 will be

P(x\neq 4) = 1-P(x=4) = 1-0.16=0.84

The result is obviously the same.

Is the statement true or false? If false, give a counterexample.
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

D. false; if a = 1, b = 2, and c = 3, then 1(2 + 3) ≠ 1(2) + 2(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

A is false, because the a is being distributed/ being multiplied to all terms inside the parenthesis, and not the term b.

B is also false. There is no indicated negative signs.

C is also false because 1(1 + 1) is EQUAL to 1(1) + 1(1)

D is true.
