For what values of m does the graph of y = mx^2 – 5x – 2 have no x-intercepts?

1 answer:

8 0

$\Delta\ \textless \ 0\\
\Delta=(-5)^2-4\cdot m\cdot(-2)=25+8m\\
25+8m\ \textless \ 0\\
8m\ \textless \ -25\\
m\ \textless \ -\dfrac{25}{8}$

Match each interval with its corresponding average rate of change for q(x) = (x + 3)2. 1. -6 ≤ x ≤ -4 1 2. -3 ≤ x ≤ 0 -4 3. -6 ≤

MrMuchimi

The average rate of change of a function f(x) in an interval, a < x < b is given by
$\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

Given q(x) = (x + 3)^2

1.) The average rate of change of q(x) in the interval -6 ≤ x ≤ -4 is given by $\frac{q(-4)-q(-6)}{-4-(-6)} = \frac{(-4+3)^2-(-6+3)^2}{-4+6} = \frac{1-9}{2} = \frac{-8}{2} =-4$

2.) The average rate of change of q(x) in the interval -3 ≤ x ≤ 0 is given by $\frac{q(0)-q(-3)}{0-(-3)} = \frac{(0+3)^2-(-3+3)^2}{0+3} = \frac{9-0}{3} = \frac{9}{3} =3$

3.) The average rate of change of q(x) in the interval -6 ≤ x ≤ -3 is given by $\frac{q(-3)-q(-6)}{-3-(-6)} = \frac{(-3+3)^2-(-6+3)^2}{-3+6} = \frac{0-9}{3} = \frac{-9}{3} =-3$

4.) The average rate of change of q(x) in the interval -3 ≤ x ≤ -2 is given by $\frac{q(-2)-q(-3)}{-2-(-3)} = \frac{(-2+3)^2-(-3+3)^2}{-2+3} = \frac{1-0}{1} = \frac{1}{1} =1$

5.) The average rate of change of q(x) in the interval -4 ≤ x ≤ -3 is given by $\frac{q(-3)-q(-4)}{-3-(-4)} = \frac{(-3+3)^2-(-4+3)^2}{-3+4} = \frac{0-1}{1} = \frac{-1}{1} =-1$

6.) The average rate of change of q(x) in the interval -6 ≤ x ≤ 0 is given by $\frac{q(0)-q(-6)}{0-(-6)} = \frac{(0+3)^2-(-6+3)^2}{0+6} = \frac{9-9}{6} = \frac{0}{6} =0$
