Answer:
f(x) = 10x - 2x + 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is linear because the degree of x is 1.
The others have degree 2 , degree 3 and degree -1.
(f(x) = 2/x = 2x^-1)).

A number is a solution when it fits within the range of answers that the function generates.
Question 21
Let's complete the square
y = 3x^2 + 6x + 5
y-5 = 3x^2 + 6x
y - 5 = 3(x^2 + 2x)
y - 5 = 3(x^2 + 2x + 1 - 1)
y - 5 = 3(x^2+2x+1) - 3
y - 5 = 3(x+1)^2 - 3
y = 3(x+1)^2 - 3 + 5
y = 3(x+1)^2 + 2
Answer: Choice D
============================================
Question 22
Through trial and error you should find that choice D is the answer
Basically you plug in each of the given answer choices and see which results in a true statement.
For instance, with choice A we have
y < -4(x+1)^2 - 3
-7 < -4(0+1)^2 - 3
-7 < -7
which is false, so we eliminate choice A
Choice D is the answer because
y < -4(x+1)^2 - 3
-9 < -4(-2+1)^2 - 3
-9 < -7
which is true since -9 is to the left of -7 on the number line.
============================================
Question 25
Answer: Choice B
Explanation:
The quantity (x-4)^2 is always positive regardless of what you pick for x. This is because we are squaring the (x-4). Squaring a negative leads to a positive. Eg: (-4)^2 = 16
Adding on a positive to (x-4)^2 makes the result even more positive. Therefore (x-4)^2 + 1 > 0 is true for any real number x.
Visually this means all solutions of y > (x-4)^2 + 1 reside in quadrants 1 and 2, which are above the x axis.
<h3>Solution for -3x+25=52 equation:</h3>
Simplifying
-3x + 25 = 52
Reorder the terms:
25 + -3x = 52
Solving
25 + -3x = 52
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-25' to each side of the equation.
25 + -25 + -3x = 52 + -25
Combine like terms: 25 + -25 = 0
0 + -3x = 52 + -25
-3x = 52 + -25
Combine like terms: 52 + -25 = 27
-3x = 27
Divide each side by '-3'.
x = -9
Simplifying
x = -9
