The graph of F(X), shown below, has the same shape as the graph of

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. F(x) = x⁴ - x² + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph, we have;

The y-intercept = 2, therefore, when x = 0, y = 2

The graph has no x-intercept, therefore, the unction has complex roots

The possible function is F(x) = x⁴ + x² + 2 and F(x) = 2 - x⁴ - x²

The roots of the function, F(x) = x⁴ - x² + 2, is given as follows;

0 = x⁴ - x² + 2

x = (1 ± √(1 - 8))/(2) = (1 ± √(-7))/(2) which are imaginary roots

For F(x) = 2 - x⁴ - x², we have;

0 = 2 - x⁴ - x²

x = (1 ± √(1 + 8))/(2) = (1 ± 3)/(2)

x = 2 or x = -1, therefore, the function, F(x) = 2 - x⁴ - x², has real roots and the only possible solution is F(x) = x⁴ + x² + 2

There are 60 min per hour.
There are 24 hours in one day, so there are 60 times 24= 1,440 minutes in a day.
Person A: for 45 minutes per day had a heart rate of 150, and for 1,395 minutes per day had a heart rate of 60.
This means that her heart rate totaled (45x150) + (1,395x60) = 90,450 beats per day.
Person B: for 1,440 minutes per day had a heart rate of 72 beats per minute.
This means that her heart rate totaled (1,440x72) = 103,680 beats per day.

So for 365 days: 365(103,680-90,450)= 4,828,950-this is the number of beats MORE per year of Person B than Person A.

Through bond sales, a nation's central bank pulls money out of circulation. One of the short-term effects is to drive the price

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Through open market operations Government can fluctuate the money supply in the economy. One of the short-term effects is to drive the price level from 100 down to 93.3. In short run, decrease in money supply will leads to higher interest rate, this will discourage the investors. Thus, investing and spending will fall which will shift the aggregate demand curve leftward.

<em>check the attached file for the curve</em>

In long run adjustment in wages tale place and firm will pay lower wage rate to workers. Since nominal wages will decrease overtime causing the SRAS curve to shift rightward. Because unemployment is created in the short run which decreases wages, so supply increase from SRAS to SRAS (1). Long run equilibrium will attain at (8,87.5).

20 points plus that brain thing

madam [21]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf \$ \ 26.24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Each side of the squared painting = 41 inches

A square has 4 sides. So,

4 sides of the square painting = 4(41) inches

= 164 inches

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

<u>The shop charges:</u>

1 inches = $ 0.16

Multiply both sides by 164

164 inches = $ 0.16 × 164

164 inches = $ 26.24

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Hope this helped!
