Answer:
c. f(x)=x(x+2)(x-1)(x-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Where it says "as x goes to negative infinity" then "y goes to infinity" (that's the part with the infinity symbols) that means the graph is going up at it's left end. This curve is a quartic (4th degree) which means its left and right ends are kind of parabola-ish, but the middle is not the neat u-ish, v-ish shape of a parabola; it's more like a wonky, noodle-ish wavy affair. Anyway, LIKE a parabola when the beginning of the equation is positive, the two ends point up. That's what's happening here and so we can eliminate b. and d. as potential answers.
Since -2, 0, 1, 4 are zeros (which are solutions...and also x-intercepts) we can find the factors of the function.
If x = -2
ADD 2 to both sides.
x + 2 = 0
This means (x+2) is a factor.
This is enough info to select answer c. but let's verify the other factors.
If x = 1
SUBTRACT 1 from both sides.
x - 1 = 0
Thus means (x - 1) is a factor.
If x = 4
SUBTRACT 4 from both sides.
x - 4 = 0
(x - 4) is a factor.
You can see c. has all these factors as well as x, because x=0 already, so x is a factor too.
I think of this as a working backwards problem, bc usually you have to factor and solve. This one, you have solutions (which are zeros and x-intercepts) and work backwards to find factors and multiply them together to find the function.
Answer:
1 roll of ribbon, 1 package of buttons, and 3 packages of beads
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the information you found about how much each makes to answer the question.
Lynette will make 6 decorations.
Since 1 roll makes 6, she needs 1 roll.
Since 1 package of buttons makes 6, she needs 1 package.
Since 1 package of beads makes 2, she needs 3 packages.
Answer:

x=1250
Answer:
1.49
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the slope of the tangent line to a given equation, and in a given point, we need to:
1. Find the first derivative of the given function.
2. Evaluate the first derivative function in the given point.
1. Let's find the first derivative of the given function:
The original function is 
But remeber that the derivative of 
is
so, 
2. Let's evaluate the first derivative function in the given point
The given point is (0.4,1.49) so:
Notice that the calculated slope of the tangent line is equal to the y-coordinate of the given point because f'(x)=f(x). In conclusion, the slope of the tangent line is equal to 1.49.
10, 20w, 2w, and we are factors of 20w and 40wz
