Answer:
Option B) g(x) is an increasing function, and f(x) is a decreasing function.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) we have
This is a linear function
The unit rate or slope is negative
That means ----> Is a decreasing function
2) we have
g(x)
Looking at the table we notice that
The function g(x) is a increasing function, because the y-value increases as the x-value increases
therefore
g(x) is an increasing function, and f(x) is a decreasing function
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the equation:
And we want to find out which of the answer choices is <em>not</em> equivalent.
Thus, let's go through each of the choices.
A)
We have:
This is correct.
Our original equation can be written as:
And if we multiply straight across:
We'll get choice A. So choice A is correct.
B)
We have:
This is also correct.
From our original equation:
If we multiply the first term together:
We'll get choice B. So, choice B is correct.
C)
We have:
This is correct as well.
If we reduce 1/2 to decimal form and add the operations within the parentheses in the original equation, we will get:
So, C is also correct.
D)
We have:
Note that this is not correct.
This attempted to use the distributive property. However, the distribute property does <em>not work</em> for multiplication. For instance:
However:
So, choice D is not equivalent.
So choice D is our answer :)
If we evaluate it, we will get 30, in contrast to the 60 of the others.
