Cerrena [4.2K]4 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

If x − 2 is a factor of p(x), then p(2) will equal 0.

p(x) = x⁴ − 3x² + 2x − 8

p(2) = 2⁴ − 3(2)² + 2(2) − 8

p(2) = 16 − 12 + 4 − 8

p(2) = 0

So x − 2 is indeed a factor of p(x).

The scatterplot to the left shows the cost, C, in thousands of dollars, and living space, z, in square feet (ft) for several hou
Andreyy89

Answer:

f(x) = -22.45x^2 + 92.38x + 1.86

Because the points on the scatter plot show an increase in concentration from 0 hours through 2 hours and a decrease from 2 hours through 4 hours, the relationship shown is best modeled using a quadratic function.

Let's look closely at the two quadratic function choices to determine the key features of their graphs.

Because the coefficient of its x^2 -term is negative, the graph of f(x) = -22.45x^2 + 92.38 + 1.86 will be concave down and have a maximum value.

Because the coefficient of its x^2 -term is positive, the graph of f(x) = 22.45x^2 + 92.38 + 1.86 will be concave up and have a minimum value.

Because the scatter plot shown has a concave down trend, the function that best describes the relationship shown is:

f(x) = -22.45x^2 + 92.38 + 1.86

1. Find the vertices and locate the foci for the hyperbola whose equation is given.
Irina18 [472]
\bf \cfrac{(x-{{ h}})^2}{{{ a}}^2}-\cfrac{(y-{{ k}})^2}{{{ b}}^2}=1&#10;\qquad center\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\qquad&#10; vertices\ ({{ h}}\pm a, {{ k}})\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;\textit{now let's take a look at yours}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;49x2 - 16y2 = 784\implies \cfrac{49x^2}{784}-\cfrac{16y^2}{784}=1&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{x^2}{16}-\cfrac{y^2}{49}=1\implies \cfrac{(x-0)^2}{4^2}-\cfrac{(y-0)^2}{7^2}=1&#10;\\\\\\&#10;recall\implies center\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\qquad vertices\ ({{ h}}\pm a, {{ k}})&#10;\\\\\\&#10;

\bf \textit{now, for the foci, the foci are "c" distance from the center point}\\\\\&#10;whereas\qquad c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\qquad \textit{ that is }\qquad  h\pm \sqrt{a^2+b^2}

notice your "a" and "b" components, to get the distance "c" from the center to either foci and the vertices, of course, are h + a, k and h - a, k
