Answer:
f(x) = (x - 3)(x + 1) → Corresponds with the first (raised higher ) ∪ shaped graph
f(x) = -2(x - 1)((x + 3) → Corresponds with the ∩ shaped graph
f(x) = 0.5(x - 6)((x + 2) → Corresponds with the second (lower) ∪ shaped graph
Step-by-step explanation:
For the function f(x) = (x - 3)(x + 1)
We have;
When x = 0, y = -3
When y = 0 x = 3 or -1
Comparing with the graphs, it best suits the first ∪ shaped graph that rises here than the other ∪ shaped graph
For the function;
f(x) = -2(x - 1)((x + 3)
When x = 0, y = 6
When y = 0, x = 1 or -3
Which corresponds with the ∩ shaped graph
For the function;
f(x) = 2(x + 6)((x - 2)
When x = 0, y = -24
When y = 0, x = -6 or 2

For the function;
f(x) = 0.5(x - 6)((x + 2)
When x = 0, y = -6
When y = 0, x = 6 or -2
Which best suits the second ∪ shaped graph that is lower than the other (first) ∪ shaped graph
For the function;
f(x) = 0.5(x + 6)((x - 2)
When x = 0, y = -6
When y = 0, x = -6 or 2

Home Water Works says that in most homes, showers are the third-largest user of water after toilets and clothes washers. The average American shower water usage is 17.2 gallons with the average shower length being 8.2 minutes. The average flow rate is 2.1 gallons per minute.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
- The equation of a line 6x-2y=4+6y
- A point (8, -16)
We are required to determine the equation of a line parallel to the given line and passing through the given point.
- One way we can determine the equation of a line is when we are given its slope and a point where it is passing through,
First we get the slope of the line from the equation given;
- We write the equation in the form y = mx + c, where m is the slope
That is;
6x-2y=4+6y
6y + 2y = 6x-4
8y = 6x -4
We get, y = 3/4 x - 4
Therefore, the slope, m₁ = 3/4
But; for parallel lines m₁=m₂
Therefore, the slope of the line in question, m₂ = 3/4
To get the equation of the line;
We take a point (x, y) and the point (8, -16) together with the slope;
That is;


Thus, the equation required is
