<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The second piecewise function,

f(x)=\left \{ {{-x-2,x

<h2>Why?</h2>

To answer the question, we need to find which piecewise function contains the graphs shown in the picture, we have that first line shown, is decreasing and exists from the negative numbers to 0,  and the line cuts the x-axis and the y-axis at "-2", for the second line shown,  we have that is decreasing but exists from 0 (including it) to the the positive numbers.

So, finding which piecewise satisfies the function shown, we have:

- First piecewise function:

f(x)=\left \{ {{-x-2,x

First line,

We have the first line,

-x-2

The variable has a negative coefficient (-1), meaning that the function (line) is decreasing, also we can see that the function does exists from all the numbers less than 0, to 0, and it cuts the x-axis at -2 and the y-axis at -2.

Second line,

\frac{x}{2}\geq 0

The variable has positive coefficient, meaning that the function (line) is increasing.

Hence, since the second line is not decreasing, the piecewise function is not the piecewise function shown in the picture.

- Second piecewise function,

f(x)=\left \{ {{-x-2,x

First line,

We have the first line,

-x-2

The variable has a negative coefficient (-1), meaning that the function (line) is decreasing, also we can see that the function does exist from all the numbers less than 0, to 0.

Second line,

-\frac{x}{2}\geq 0

The variable has a negative coefficient ((-\frac{1}{2}), meaning the the unction (line) is decreasing, also we can see that the function does exists from 0 (including it) to the positive numbers.

Hence, we have that the correct option is the second piecewise function,

f(x)=\left \{ {{-x-2,x

Note: I have attached a picture for better understanding.

Have a nice day!

Which inequality is shown in the graph?
masha68 [24]

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

the graph has a y intercept of -3

try substituting any point in one of the equations that fit the graph in this one that is D.

try(1,1)

1<1-3

1<-3

it is false so shade the outside of the graph

In the previous part, we obtained dy dx = 3t2 − 27 −2t . Next, find the points where the tangent to the curve is horizontal. (En
mina [271]

Answer:

(27.55, 7.22), (-11.3, 3.21).

Step-by-step explanation:

When is the tangent to the curve horizontal?

The tangent curve is horizontal when the derivative is zero.

The derivative is:

\frac{dy}{dx} = 3t^{2} - 2t - 27

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac

In this question:

3t^{2} - 2t - 27 = 0

So

a = 3, b = -2, c = -27

Then

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac = (-2)^{2} - 4*3*(-27) = 328

So

t_{1} = \frac{-(-2) + \sqrt{328}}{2*3} = 3.35

t_{2} = \frac{-(-2) - \sqrt{328}}{2*3} = -2.685

Enter your answers as a comma-separated list of ordered pairs.

We found values of t, now we have to replace in the equations for x and y.

t = 3.35

x = t^{3} - 3t = (3.35)^{3} - 3*3.35 = 27.55

y = t^{2} - 4 = (3.35)^2 - 4 = 7.22

The first point is (27.55, 7.22)

t = -2.685

x = t^{3} - 3t = (-2.685)^3 - 3*(-2.685) = -11.3

y = t^{2} - 4 = (-2.685)^2 - 4 = 3.21

The second point is (-11.3, 3.21).
