If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram then opposite sides are parallel. For example, look at the diagram I provided below. If quadrilateral A,B,C,D is a parallelogram, then side A,B is parallel to side D,C. Also, side A,D must be parallel to side B,C.

Hey there! :D So you're wondering how you can tell if a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, right? Well, you are about to find out! The way you can tell whether a quadrilateral is a parallelogram because we know that a quadrilateral has 4 sides, right? And a parallelogram is a figure with opposite sides that never intersect or cross. So for example, a square is a quadrilateral and it has 4 equal sides and if we extend the lines horizontally, the would not cross.

I hope this makes sense to you! Have a good evening!(If you are in the US, but if you aren't, good morning!) :D

Find the domain and range of the function f(x) = 3x^2 - 5.Also find f(-3) and the numbers which are associated with the number 4

Delicious77 [7]

Domain:

This function is a polynomial, i.e. a sum of powers of a variables, each with its coefficient. Polynomials are defined for every possible value of the variable, so the domain is the whole real number set: $D = \mathbb{R}$

Range:

A polynomial of degree 2 represents a parabola. Since the leading coefficients, i.e. the coefficient of the term with highest degree, is positive (in this case, it's 3), the parabola is concave up. It means that it has a minimum, and it's unbounded from above. So, the range is something like $[a,\infty)$ . To find the minimum, let's start with the "standard" parabola $y=x^2$ , and transform it to the one of this exercise. $y=x^2$ has minimum 0, and thus its range is $[0,\infty)$ . When you multiply it times three, its shape narrows, but the range wont change: $[0,\infty) \to [3\cdot 0,3\cdot \infty) = [0,\infty)$ . Finally, when you subtract 5, you shift everythin down 5 units. This transformation affects the range, since you have $[0,\infty) \to [0-5,\infty-5) = [-5,\infty)$
