Hello :
<span>If f(x)= 3 ^x-1+ 4 and g(x) = 4x-7
(f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)= </span>3 ^x-1+ 4 - (4x - 7)
(f-g)(x) =3 ^x-1-4x +11.....( answer : a)
Rate of change = difference in y over difference in x.
Rate of change = (33-20)/(3-1) = 13/2
Rate of change = (48-33) /(5-3) = 15/2
The rates are not the same so it isn’t linear.
The rate of change for x=3 and x = 5 is greater.
Answer:
Prime.
Step-by-step explanation:

First let's multiply our outer coefficients in this case 1 and 8, so we have 1x8=8. Now the point of this is to get the factors of 8 and see if we can get that middle term -7. Factors of 8 are 1x8, 2x4 and that's it. From there I notice that -8+1 = -7 and so:

Notice that the (x-8) and (x+8) are not the same factors, therefore the factors are not any of those answer choices and so it's prime. You can calculate the factors by using the quadratic formula, however I think that is beyond the scope of this question.
Four different ways to solve a quadratic equation are factoring, completing the square, quadratic formula, and graphing. all methods start with setting the equation equal to zero.
to determine the zeros of a quadratic graph, find the points where the graph of the quadratic equation crosses the x-axis. to determine the vertex, you convert the quadratic form to vertex form, you use this process of completing the square. to determine the axis of symmetry, you cut the graph vertically to see the symmetrical sides.
hope this helps, God bless!
