Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the quadratic equation and it's written in three equivalent forms:

f(x)=0.5x^2+x-1.5\\f(x)=0.5(x+1)^2-2\\f(x)=(0.5x+1.5)(x-1)

Let's determine the characteristics of the quadratic equation with the given equations.

From the first equation, since the leading coefficient (0.5) is positive, we can be certain that the graph opens upwards.

Also, the constant term is -1.5, so the y-intercept is (0,-1.5).

The second equation is the vertex form. Vertex form has the format:

f(x)=a(x-h)^2-k

Where (h,k) is the vertex. From the second equation we know that h is -1 (because (x+1) is the same as (x-(-1))) and k is -2. Therefore, the vertex is (-1,-2).

And since the graph points upwards, this means that (-1,-2) is the minimum point of the function. In other words, the range of the function is greater than or equal to -2. In interval notation, this is:

[-2,\infty)

This also means that the end behavior of the graph as a x approaches negative and positive infinity is positive infinity because the graph will always go straight up.

Also, the third form is the factored form. With that, we can solve for the zeros of the quadratic. The zeros are:

0.5x+1.5=0\text{ and } x-1=0\\0.5x=-1.5 \text{ and }x=1\\x=-3\text{ and }x=1

Therefore, the graph crosses the x-axis at x=-3 and x=1.

So, from the three equations, we gathered the following information:

1) The graph curves upwards.

2) The roots of zeros of the function is (-3,0) and (1,0).

3) The y-intercept is (0,-1.5).

4) The vertex is (-1,-2). This is also the minimum point.

5) Therefore, the range of the graph is all values greater than or equal to -2.

6) The end behavior of the graph on both directions go towards positive infinity.

Therefore, our correct answer is A.

B is not correct because the line of symmetry (or the x-coordinate of the vertex) here is -1 and not 1/2.

C is not correct because the graph goes towards <em>positive </em>infinity since it shoots straight up.

And D is not correct because the y-intercept is (0,-1.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the quadratic equation and it's written in three equivalent forms:

\begin{gathered}f(x)=0.5x^2+x-1.5\\f(x)=0.5(x+1)^2-2\\f(x)=(0.5x+1.5)(x-1)\end{gathered}

f(x)=0.5x

+x−1.5

f(x)=0.5(x+1)

2

−2

f(x)=(0.5x+1.5)(x−1)

Let's determine the characteristics of the quadratic equation with the given equations.

From the first equation, since the leading coefficient (0.5) is positive, we can be certain that the graph opens upwards.

Also, the constant term is -1.5, so the y-intercept is (0,-1.5).

The second equation is the vertex form. Vertex form has the format:

f(x)=a(x-h)^2-kf(x)=a(x−h)

−k

Where (h,k) is the vertex. From the second equation we know that h is -1 (because (x+1) is the same as (x-(-1))) and k is -2. Therefore, the vertex is (-1,-2).

And since the graph points upwards, this means that (-1,-2) is the minimum point of the function. In other words, the range of the function is greater than or equal to -2. In interval notation, this is:

given a polynomial with factor (x - a)

Then x = a is a root of the polynomial and f(a) = 0

(1)

(x+ 2) is a factor , hence x = - 2 is a root

Evaluate the polynomial for x = - 2

f(- 2) = 5(- 2)³ + 8(- 2)² - 7(- 2) - 6 = - 40 + 32 + 14 - 6 = 0

Hence (x + 2 ) is a factor

(2)

If (x + 1) is a factor then x = - 1 is a root

5(- 1)³ + 8(-1)² - 7(- 1) - 6 = -5 + 8 + 7 - 6 = 4

Since f( - 1) ≠ 0

Then (x + 1) is not a factor

Answer:

<h3>(-4, 1)</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

-x-3=y, therefore x = -y-3

-3x - 8y = 4

Find the value of y

Substitute the x in -3x - 8y = 4 with -y-3

We get

-3·(-y-3) - 8y = 4

3y + 9 - 8y = 4

-5y = 4-9

-5y = -5

<h3>y = 1</h3>

_______________

Find the value of x

x = -y-3

x = -1-3

<h3>x = -4</h3>

_______________

Answer (x, y) =

<h3>(-4, 1)</h3>

the population P (t) of a culture of bacteria is given by P (t) =-1710t +92,000t+10,000, where t is the time in hours since the
Akimi4 [234]

The question might have some mistake since there are 2 multiplier of t. I found a similar question as follows:

The population P(t) of a culture of bacteria is given by P(t) = –1710t^2+ 92,000t + 10,000, where t is the time in hours since the culture was started. Determine the time at which the population is at a maximum. Round to the nearest hour.

Answer:

27 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of population P(t) = –1710t^2+ 92,000t + 10,000

Find the derivative of the function to find the critical value

dP/dt = -2(1710)t + 92000

         = -3420t + 92000

Find the critical value by equating dP/dt = 0

-3420t + 92000 = 0

92000 = 3420t

t = 92000/3420 = 26.90

Check if it really have max value through 2nd derivative

d(dP)/dt^2 = -3420

2nd derivative is negative, hence it has maximum value

So, the time when it is maximum is 26.9 or 27 hours
