Explain why (–4x)0 = 1, but –4x0 = –4.

1 answer:

5 0

Any number raised to power of 0 is 1.
In (-4x)^0, because of the parenthesis, the whole number is being raided to 0, which gives 1.
But in -4x^0, only x is being raised to 0, thus -4x^0 = -4(1) = -4.

What is the parent function for the following f(x) = (x-2) (x-1)

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The parent function of f(x) = (x-2) (x-1) is $P(x) = x^2- 3 x + 2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, f(x) = (x-2) (x-1)

Now, parent function of a given function is the function, which is PRODUCT OF ALL IT S FACTORS.

Now, here, f(x) has two factors ( x- 2) and ( x-1)

So, the parent function p(x) of f(x) is given as the product of both the factors.

So, we get:

$P(x) = (x-2) (x-1) \\= x( x-1) -2(x-1)\\=x^2 - x -2x + 2\\= x^2- 3 x + 2\\\implies P(x) = x^2- 3 x + 2$

Hence, here the parent function of f(x) = (x-2) (x-1) is $P(x) = x^2- 3 x + 2$ .

Need help plz i will give u a brainliest

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

let's call the number x.

"five less than"

[expression] - 5

"the quotient of a number and 3"

x/3

x/3 - 5

"is -7"

x/3 - 5 = -7

add 5 to both sides of the equation

x/3 - 5 + 5 = -7 + 5

x/3 = -2

multiply both sides of the equation by 3

x/3 * 3 = -2 * 3

x = -6
