Answer:

B. [-1, ∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = 3|x − 1| − 1

When x = 1 g(x) = 3(0) - 1 = -1.

As all negative vales of x will give positive values of |x - 1| then g(x) = -1 is its minimum value. The graph will be shaped like a letter V with the vertex at (1,-1).

Therefore the range is [-1, ∞).

What is the area of a rectangle with a width of x2 + x + 1 and a length of<br> 3x2 - 2x - 1?

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

$x^{4}$ + 3x³ - 3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as

A = lw ( l is the length and w the width ) , thus

A = (3x² - 2x - 1)(x² + x + 1)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, then

A = 3x²(x² + x + 1) - 2x(x² + x + 1) - 1(x² + x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis

= 3 $x^{4}$ + 3x³ + 3x² - 2 $x^{4}$ - 2x² - 2x - x² - x - 1 ← collect like terms

= $x^{4}$ + 3x³ - 3x - 1

Hi,

Departure point : (4, 5)
They are first heading west, to go to the (2,5). They made 2 km.
Then they are heading north, to go to (2,8) -> campsite. They made 3 km

To return to departure point, the make the choice to walk in straight line :

$d = \sqrt{(4 - 2)^{2} + (5 - 8)^{2}} \\ \\ d = \sqrt{4 + 9} \\ \\ d = \sqrt{13} \\ \\d \approx 3.60\;km$

In total : they walked : 2 + 3 + 3.60 = 8.60 km
