Answer:

to the right of x = 2 the function is increasing

{ x | x > 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that this is a quadratic function, and therefore responds to the shape of a parabola. In this case is also a parabola with branches opening up since the coefficient of the square term is positive. So, we just need to find where the vertex is located, and we know that to the left of the x-value of the vertex the function is decreasing, and to the right of it the function is increasing.

The formula for the x of the vertex of a parabola of the form:

y=ax^2+bx+c

is  x_{vertex}=\frac{-b}{2\,a}

which in our case gives:

x_{vertex}=\frac{-b}{2\,a} =\frac{4}{2} =2

Therefore, to the left of x = 2 the function decreases , and to the right of x = 2 the function is increasing.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

7.2 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Hours taken = 2 hours

Walk rate = 1 m/s

Distance = Speed * time

Time taken in seconds = 2 * 60 * 60 = 7200 s

Hence,

Distance = 1 m/s * 7200s

Distance = 7200 meters

Distance in km = 7200 / 1000 = 7.2 km

What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line represented by the equation x-y=8
coldgirl [10]
The slope of x-y=8 is 1 because it's actually y = x-8

Parallel means the slope is equal to 1 as well.
