Answer:
12+8x
Step-by-step explanation:
By adding together alike values, 5 and 7, and 2x and 4x, you get 12+8x.
The graph of the function

is parabola with branches going down in the negative direction of y-axis.
The vertex of parabola has coordinates:

Then you can conclude that all x are possible, that means that the dimain is

and the maximum value of y is at the vertex, then the range is
![(-\infty,6]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28-%5Cinfty%2C6%5D)
.The function is increasing for x<-2 and decreasing for x>-2 (since vertex is the maximum point).
When x=0, y=2.
Hence,
<span>The domain is {x|x ≤ –2} - false.
</span>
<span>The range is {y|y ≤ 6} - true.
</span>
<span>The function is increasing over the interval (–∞ , –2) - true.
</span>
<span>The function is decreasing over the interval (−4, ∞) - false.
</span>
<span>The function has a positive y-intercept - true.</span>
Answer:
A.-
D.
E.
Step-by-step explanation:
Like terms must have the same variable, in this case x, and the same exponent, in this case 2. Since the original term is
, the like terms will be those that contain
, regardless of whether their coefficient or sign is different.
Analyzing the options:
A.-
We have the same variable and the same exponent
, so it is a like term.
B. 
You have the same variable x but not the same exponent. So it's not a like term of 
C.
Same variable
but as in the previous case, the exponent is different, it is a 3 and it should be a 2, so it is not a similar or like term.
D.
In this option we do have the
, so it is a like term of 
E.
It is also a like term because it contains the
.
In summary the like terms are:
A.-
D.
E.
