Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
1) x², when x<1
2) For line function y-intercept <1, and positive,
3) For line function slope = 1/3.
Correct answer is B.
Answer:
20 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercepts are symmetrically located around the x-coordinate of the vertex, so are at
1.5 ± 5/2 = {-1, 4}
Using one of these we can find the unknown parameter "a" in the parabola's equation (in vertex form) ...
0 = a(4 -1.5)² +12.5
0 = 6.25a +12.5 . . . . . simplify
0 = a +2 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6.25
-2 = a
Then the standard-form equation of the parabola is ...
y = -2(x -1.5)² +12.5 = -2(x² -3x +2.25) +12.5
y = -2x² +6x +8
This tells us the y-intercept is 8. Then the relevant triangle has a base of 5 units and a height of 8. Its area is given by the formula ...
A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(5)(8) = 20 . . . . units²
Using linear function concepts, it is found that the slopes and intercepts of the functions are given as follows:
a) -4.
b) P = 25.
c) 2.
d) P = 5.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
The demand is given by:
D = 100 - 4P.
Hence the slope is of -4. The demand is equals to zero when:
100 - 4P = 0 -> P = 25.
The supply is given by:
QS = -10 + 2P.
Hence the slope is of 2. The supply is equals to zero when:
-10 + 2P = 0 -> P = 5.
