HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

See the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function f(x) = x² + 2x - 5

Zeros :

If f(x) = 0 i.e. x² + 2x - 5 = 0

The left hand side can not be factorized. Hence, use Sridhar Acharya formula and  

x= \frac{-2+\sqrt{2^{2}-4\times(-5)\times1 } }{2} and  

x= \frac{-2-\sqrt{2^{2}-4\times(-5)\times1 } }{2}

⇒ x = -3.45 and 1.45

Y- intercept :

Putting x = 0, we get, f(x) = - 5, Hence, y-intercept is -5.

Maximum point :

Not defined

Minimum point:  

The equation can be expressed as (x + 1)² = (y + 5)

This is an equation of parabola having the vertex at (-1,-5) and axis parallel to + y-axis

Therefore, the minimum point is (-1,-5)

Domain :  

x can be any real number

Range:  

f(x) ≥ - 6

Interval of increase:

Since this is a parabola having the vertex at (-1,-5) and axis parallel to + y-axis.

Therefore, interval of increase is +∞ > x > -1

Interval of decrease:

-∞ < x < -1

End behavior :  

f(x) = x^{2} +2x-5 =x^{2}  (1+\frac{2}{x} -\frac{5}{x^{2} } )

So, as x tends to +∞ , then f(x) tends to +∞

And as x tends to -∞, then f(x) tends to +∞. (Answer)

At Dave's diner, 2 sandwiches and 2 drinks cost $12. You can buy 5 drinks for the cost of one sandwich.
hram777 [196]
If you’re asking for the cost of the drink, the drink would be $1. This is because 2 sandwiches would cost $10 and that means 1 sandwich would make it $5. If 2 sandwiches cost $10, the remaining $2 in the $12 dollars would be the drinks. 2 drinks for $2 would make 1 drink for $1. So the cost of 5 drinks is $5 or $1 per drink.

If confused, don’t be shy to ask :)

Evaluate the algebraic expression.<br> y^2+x+y when x=-3 and y=-4
Amanda [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

you put the values in place of the variable names and calculate.

y² + x + y

(-4)² + -3 + -4 = 16 - 3 - 4 = 16 - 7 = 9

Charlie runs a book rental business. He currently charges $3 per book and rents out an average of 38 books a day.
liberstina [14]

Answer:

b(x) = (3+0.5x) (38-4x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the generated revenue per day be b(x)

Let x be the number for every 50cents($0.5) price increase

Formula to be used to generate the revenue generated is expressed using the formula:

b(x) = Price × Quantity

Next is to derive the price and quantity function in terms of x.

For the price:

If he currently charges $3 per book

Let derive the price function for the model and x number of price increase for every 50 cents, then

Price = ($0.5 of x)+$3

Price = $3+$0.5x

Price = $(3+0.5x)

For the quantity:

Number of books rent out per day = 38

If for every 50cents increase in rental price x, the average business can expect to lose 4 rentals a day, then the total lost per quantity = 4x

Quantity per time = Number of books rent out daily - loss on each book

Quantity = $(38-4x)

Next is to substitute the price and quantity function into the revenue formula above:

Revenue = Price × Quantity

Revenue = (3+0.5x)(38-4x)

Hence the equation that models this scenario, where b(x) is the revenue generated and x is the number of 50 price increases is b(x) = (3+0.5x)(38-4x)
