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.

What are the attributes of fractions that are equivalent to 100%
Svetach [21]
Well, think of a fraction. The numerator is telling what how many you have and the denominator is the total amount available. A fraction can be written as a/b, or whatever how much value a you have out of the total amount you can have. So if you have 3 apples out of the available 3 apples, you have 100% of the apples. So the attritibutes are a/b when a and b are the same value, and when dividing fractions, when you divide by the reciprocal.

To answer this question you will need to calculate the mean for each of the Shifts and then compare those means to the mean of all the data given.  I have attached a picture of the means for each shift and the population mean (all the data).

Shift 1 is the closest to the population mean.  It is 37.4, and the population mean is 35.9.

show work plz answers i know just tell me the equation that equals the answer or explain all how to do it
Tanzania [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

you find the blank number by finding the pattern. on number 9 the number increases by 10 every time. you find the mean by adding all the numbers on question 9 and finding the average.

example say its 0 5 10 _ 20 25

you can assume the blank is 15 because the pattern is +5

then you add all of them together which is 75

then you find the average or mean. you find this by dividing it by the numbers you started off with. with this example you divide it by 6 because we started with 6 numbers.

the mean would be 12.5

hope this helped

the sum of two consecutive even integers is greater than or equal to 34 what are the smallest possible integers?
DedPeter [7]

n, n + 2 - two consecutive even integers

the sum of two consecutive even integers is greater than or equal to 34

n + (n + 2) ≥ 34

n + n + 2 ≥ 34

2n + 2 ≥ 34       <em>subtract 2 from both sides</em>

2n ≥ 32      <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

n ≥ 16

<h3>Answer: The smallest possible integers is equal 16.</h3>
