Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In choices a and b, the bases are positive numbers greater than 1, and so these are growth functions. In c and d, the bases are between 0 and 1, and thus these are decay functions.
In the second problem we have 3ln(x + 1). Rewrite this as ln(x + 1)^3.
We also have 9ln(x - 4). Rewrite this as ln(x - 4)^9.
Because of the + sign connecting ln(x + 1)^3 and ln(x - 4)^9, these two logs combine to form
ln [ (x + 1)^3 ] * (x - 4)^9 (the log of a product).
Now we have:
ln [ (x + 1)^3 ] * (x - 4)^9 - 4ln(x + 7), or:
[ (x + 1)^3 ] * (x - 4)^9
ln ------------------------------------
(x + 7)^9
Answer:
8x² + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(x² + 3)² - (x² - 1)² ← expand both factors using FOIL
=
+ 6x² + 9 - (
- 2x² + 1) ← distribute by - 1
=
+ 6x² + 9 -
+ 2x² - 1 ← collect like terms
= 8x² + 8
Answer:
The answer to your question is:
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
f(x) = -2x² + 8x - 2
Process
-2x² + 8x = y + 2
-2(x² - 4x + 4) = y + 2 - 8
-2(x - 2)² = y - 6
(x - 2)² = 1/2 (y - 6)
Vertex = (2, 6)
Axis of symmetry = x = 2
y-intercept
f(0) = -2(0)² + 8(0) - 2
f(0) = 0 + 0 - 2
f(0) = -2
Domain (-∞, ∞)
Range (-∞, 6]
