In your lab, a substance's temperature has been observed to follow the function T(x) = (x + 5)3 + 7. The turning point of the gr

aph is where the substance changes from a liquid to a solid. Using complete sentences in your written answer, explain to your fellow scientists how to find the turning point of this function. Hint: The turning point of the graph is similar to the vertex of a quadratic function.

So essentially, this is a cubic function where T(x) = y, and:
y =  {(x+5)}^{3} +7
In order to find the vertices, aka "turning points", we need to see around what area the graph will curve quickly from bottom-left to top-right. If the value being cubed (in the parentheses) is around -8, y will be close to 0, since -8+7=-1. (-2)^3 = -8. So x+5=-2, x=-7.
At x=-6, y = (-6+5)^3+7 = (-1)^3+7
y = -1+7 = 6
At x=-5, y = 0+7 = 7
Above x=-4, the y jumps rapidly above 10, and below x=-9, the y jumps rapidly below -50
What does all that mean???
That between x = -9 and x = -4 (x = -4,-5,-6,-7,-8,-9), the temperature (T(x) or y) does not change very much. Therefore, around those temperatures is a turning point, where the phase shift occurs from solid/liquid.

Solve each equation for the bold variable​
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

y = 3 - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal is to isolate the y variable

In order to have y by itself (on one side of the equation or equal sign), we must move the other numbers and variables to the other side.

Since 2x is on the same side as y, we have to subtract it from both sides. Subtracting it cancels out the original 2x and leaves the equation to look like this:

y = 3 - 2x

Now the y is isolated

Another example:

-5x + y = 15

To isolate the y, we must cancel out the -5x. Add 5x to both sides. It will cancel out the -5x and bring it to the right side of the equation, resulting in:

y = 15 + 5x

Find the inequality represented by the graph someone help please
Alecsey [184]
U have a solid line...meaning there is an equal sign in the problem
u have a y int of -1 (the y int is where ur line crosses the y axis)
u have a slope of : 1
it is shaded below the line...so it is less then

so ur inequality is : y < = x - 1 <==
