2 answers:
Answer:
Option A
n is a positive even integer
Step-by-step explanation:
The easisest way to solve this problem is to graph the equation
f(x)=a(x+k)^1/n+c
With arbritary values of a,k, n, c that fit each answer option
Please see attached picture
Suppose,
a = -1,
k = -5 , and
c = 2
Case A.
n is a positive even integer
Say n = 2
f(x)= -(x-5)^1/2 + 2
Correct answer
Case B.
n is a positive odd integer
Say n = 3
f(x)= -(x-5)^1/3 + 2
Not the correct answer
Case C.
n is a negative odd integer
Say n = -3
f(x)= -(x-5)^-1/3 + 2
Not the correct answer
Case D.
n is a negative even integer
Say n = -2
f(x)= -(x-5)^-1/2 + 2
Not the correct answer

Notice that the given info consists of boundary lines for an area in the xy plane. We are interested ONLY in values of x and y that are 0 or greater (positive). Graph 5x + 3y 
37 and 3x + 5y less than or equal to 35.
Find the points of intersection of all four straight lines (including the x- and y-axes). There will be 4 such points (incl. the origin).
Next, evaluate the objective function 2x + 14y at each of these 4 points. Which of the four results is the largest? the smallest? Label them as 'maximum' and 'minimum.'
