Answer:
B.
- as x increases, f(x) decreases;
- as x decreases,f(x) decreases
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is of even degree with a negative leading coefficient. f(x) will tend toward negative infinity as x gets larger or smaller. That is ...
- as x increases, f(x) decreases;
- as x decreases,f(x) decreases
_____
<em>Even degree</em> means the end behaviors are the same for both large and small x. <em>Negative leading coefficient</em> means the function value decreases for larger x.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(6/5)√x = x - 6
(36/25)x = x² - 12x + 36
0 = x² - 13.44x + 36
x = (13.44 ± √(13.44² - 4(1)(36))) / (2(1))
x = (13.44 ± 6.052569702...) / 2
x = 3.69371... zebras
or
x = 9.74628... zebras
In either case we have some odd fractions of zebras hanging around. This makes me highly suspect that the question is misreported
1/2 plus 1/3 is 5/6.
You have to find the common denominator
