Answer:

[-3, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways to find the range but I will use the method I find the easiest.

First, find the derivative of the function.

f(x) = x² - 10x + 22

f'(x) = 2x - 10

Once you find the derivative, set the derivative equal to 0.

2x - 10 = 0

Solve for x.

2x = 10

x = 5

Great, you have the x value but we need the y value. To find it, plug the x value of 5 back into the original equation.

f(x) = x² - 10x + 22

f(5) = 5² - 10(5) + 22

= 25 - 50 +22

= -3

Since the function is that of a parabola, the value of x is the vertex and the y values continue going up to ∞.

This means the range is : [-3, ∞)

Another easy way is just graphing the function and then looking at the range. (I attached a graph of the function below).

Hope this helped!

a suit cost $95 Barry has a discount coupon for 10% off and the city has a 4.5 percent sales tax what is the final cost of the s

SIZIF [17.4K]

SO the suit cost $95 and it has a discount of 10%
so 95*10/100=9.5
so 10% of 95 is 9.5
subtract 9.5 from 95 and that equals 85.5
then you have to add 4.5 percent sales tax
so 85.5+ 4.5%= 89.347
So the final cost would be $89.34

-5x+2y=6 -x+2y=-2 what is the solution to the system of equations?

dybincka [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 5x + 2y = 6 \\ - x + 2y = - 2 \\ \\ - 5x + 2y - ( - x + 2y) = 6 - ( - 2) \\ - 5x + 2y + x - 2y = 6 + 2 \\ - 4x = 8 \\ \frac{ - 4x}{ - 4} = \frac{8}{ - 4 } \\ x = (- 2) \\ \\ -5x + 2y = 6 \\ - 5 \times - 2 + 2y = 6 \\ 10 + 2y = 6 \\ 2y = 6 - 10 \\ 2y = - 4 \\ \frac{2y}{2} = \frac{ - 4}{2} \\ y = - 2 \\ now \: lets \: see \: whether \\ this \: equation \: is \: correct. \\ - x + 2y = - 2 \\ - ( - 2) + 2 \times - 2 = - 2 \\ 2 + 2 \times - 2 = - 2 \\ 2 - 4 = - 2 \\ - 2 = - 2 \\ yes \: this \: equation \: is \\ correct.$
