Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of all polynomials is all real numbers.  To find the range, let's solve that quadratic for its vertex.  We will do this by completing the square.  To begin, set the quadratic equal to 0 and then move the -10 over by addition. The first rule is that the leading coefficient has to be a 1; ours is a 2 so we factor it out.  That gives us:

2(x^2-2x)=10

The second rule is to take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides.  Our linear term is 2 (from the -2x).  Half of 2 is 1, and 1 squared is 1.  So we add 1 into the parenthesis on the left.  BUT we cannot ignore the 2 sitting out front of the parenthesis.  It is a multiplier.  That means that we didn't just add in a 1, we added in a 2 * 1 = 2.  So we add 2 to the right as well, giving us now:

2(x^2-2x+1)=10+2

The reason we complete the square (other than as a means of factoring) is to get a quadratic into vertex form.  Completing the square gives us a perfect square binomial on the left.

x^2-2x+1=(x-1)^2 and on the right we will just add 10 and 2:

2(x-1)^2=12

Now we move the 12 back over by subtracting and set the quadratic back to equal y:

2(x-1)^2-12=y

From this vertex form we can see that the vertex of the parabola sits at (1,-12).  This tells us that the absolute lowest point of the parabola (since it is positive it opens upwards) is -12.  Therefore, the range is R={y|y ≥ -12}

you are at the mall and you want to buy a hoodie for 35 dollars its on sale for 25 percent off how do you find the discounted pr
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:$8.75

Step-by-step explanation:Thus, a product that normally costs $35 with a 25 percent discount will cost you $26.25, and you saved $8.75. You can also calculate how much you save by simply moving the period in 25.00 percent two spaces to the left, and then multiply the result by $35 as follows: $35 x .25 = $8.75 savings.

if you were asked to express the weight in ounces of a ladybug in scientific notation, would the exponent of the 10 be positive
Nat2105 [25]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

Negative.

Explanation:

Scientific notation is used to express very small or very large numbers.

Very small numbers are written in scientific notation using negative exponents.

Very large numbers are written in scientific notation using positive exponents.

Since a ladybug is very small, we would use the very small scientific notation, which uses negative exponents.
