Parellel would mean that it's the same slope, so it's one of the first three. Checking each of them individually, we see that the first one, when you plug in 3, results in 1, getting (3,1)!

Over which interval is the graph of f(x) = one-halfx2 + 5x + 6 increasing?

kaheart [24]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x\in[-5,\ \infty)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=\dfrac{1}{2}x^2+5x+6\\\\\text{The coeficient of}\ x^2\ \text{is the positive number. Therefore the parabola is op}\text{en up}.\\\\\text{If a parabola op}\text{en up, then the graph increasing in interval}\ (h,\ \infty),\\\text{and decreasing in interval}\ (-\infty,\ h).\ \text{Where}\ h\ \text{is a first coordinate of a vertex.}\\\\\text{For}\ y=ax^2+bx+c,\ h=\dfrac{-b}{2a}.\\\\\text{We have}\ a=\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{and}\ b=5.\ \text{Substitute:}\\\\h=\dfrac{-5}{2\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}=-\cdot\dfrac{5}{1}=-5.$
