Is it possible for a negative number to be greater than a positive number? Explain.

ANSER: Yes

EXPLANATION: The is one way for you to make a negative number greater than a positive number and that is by using absolute value. Absolute value is when you take the number and define the absolute value. So -4 would be just 4. In a regular equation -5 < 4 but using absolute value -5 becomes 5. Therefore there is one way for a negative number to be posotive.

ANSWER: No.

Explanation: It is impossible for a negative number to be greater than a positive number. All negatives are behind zero, therefore less than zero, on the number line, while all the positives are ahead of zero, meaning they're greater than zero. In conclusion, a negative number is ALWAYS less than a positive number.

Graph the function and analyze it for domain, range, continuity, increasing or decreaseing behavior, symmetry, boundedness, extr

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

$f(x) = 3 \cdot 0.2^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = 3 \cdot 0.2^x$

Domain of f: "What values of x can we plug into this equation?" This makes sense for all real numbers so the domain is $\mathbb{R}$

Range of f: "What values of f(x) can we get out of the function?" From the graph we see we can get any real number greater than 0 out of the function by choosing a suitable x-value in the domain. The range is therefore $(0, \infty)$ .

Continuity: Since the graph is one, unbroken curve (i.e. a curve that can be drawn in one movement without taking your pen off the paper). We see that "roughly speaking" the function is continuous.

Increasing or decreasing behaviour: For all x in the domain, as x increases, f(x) decreases. This means the function exhibits decreasing behaviour.

Symmetry: It is clear to see the graph of f(x) has no symmetry.

Boundedness: Looking at the graph we see it is unbounded above as when we choose negative values, the graph of f(x) explodes upwards exponentially. Choose a value of x, plug it in, next choose (x-1), plug this in and we observe $f(x-1) > f(x)$ for all x in the domain.

The function is however bounded below by 0: no value of x in the domain exists which satisfies $f(x) < 0$ .

Extrema: As far as I can tell, there are no turning points on the curve. (Is this what you mean by extrema?)

Asymptotes: Contrary to the curve's appearance, there are no vertical asymtotes for this curve. The negative-x portion of the curve is just growing so quickly it appears to look like an asymptote. There is a value of f(x) for all x<0. There is however a horizontal asymtote: $y=0$ .

End behaviour: As $x \rightarrow \infty, f(x) \rightarrow 0$ . As $x \rightarrow -\infty, f(x) \rightarrow +\infty$

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

$12

Step-by-step explanation:

12 because first you need to divided 45 by 5 to get 9 which is the cost of each ticket with the price off of each next you need to add 3 to nine because each ticket was 3 dollar off so the answer would be 12

How do you graph and translate a shape

jeka94

See in the explanation

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Translating a shape is part of that we called Rigid Transformations. This is called like this because the basic form of the shape doesn't change. So this only changes the position of the chape in the coordinate plane. In mathematics, we have the following rigid transformations:

Horizontal shifts
Vertical shifts
Reflections

Horizontal and vertical shifts are part of translation. So the question is <em>How do we graph and translate a shape?</em>

To do so, you would need:

A coordinate plane.
An original shape
Set the original shape in the coordinate plane.
A rule
The translated shape

For example, the triangle below ABC is translated to form the triangle DEF. Here, we have a coordinate plana and an original shape, which is ΔABC. So this original shape has three vertices with coordinates:

A(-4,0)

B(-2, 0)

C(-2, 4)

The rule is <em>to translate the triangle 6 units to the right and 1 unit upward. </em>So we get the translated shape ΔDEF with vertices:

D(2,1)

E(4, 1)

F(4, 5)
