<span>divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get: 

(x + 1/4)^2 = -7/16 ***** this is your solution. 

continue further to solve for x if you care to, but the problem did not require you to do this. 

take the square root of both sides of the equation to get: 

x + 1/4 = plus or minus sqrt(-7/16) 

subtract 1/4 from both sides of the equation to get x = -1/4 plus or minus sqrt(-7/16). 

since sqrt(-7/16) is the same as sqrt(7/16) * i, your solution becomes: 

x = -1/4 plus or minus sqrt(7/16) * i. 

your problem was to convert it to the form of (x + p)2 = q. 

the solution to that is: 

</span><span>(x + 1/4)^2 = -7/16 </span><span>subtract 1 from both sides of the equation to get: 

2x^2 + x = -1 

factor out a 2 on the left side of the equation to get: 

2 * (x^2 + x/2) = -1 

complete the squares on x^2 + x/2 to get: 

2 * ((x+1/4)^2 - (1/16)) = -1 

simplify by distibuting the multiplication to get: 

2 * (x+1/4)^2 - 2*(1/16) = -1 

simplify further to get: 

2 * (x+1/4)^2 - 1/8 = -1 

add 1/8 to both sides of the equation to get: 

2 * (x + 1/4)^2 = -7/8 .

State whether the function is bounded above, bounded below, or bounded.<br> y = 2x
kotykmax [81]
Note: Type "2^x" without quotes to indicate 2^x

When you graph this function, you'll see that we have the exponential curve sloping upward as x increases. The function increases upward without bound. In other words, it goes on forever upward. There are no restrictions on the "ceiling" so to speak of this function curve.

There is a floor though. The floor in this case is like an electric fence that the function never touches. It only gets closer. This is known as the "horizontal asymptote". In this case, the horizontal asymptote is the line y = 0 which lays perfectly over the x axis.

So because of this "fence", the function is bounded below. It does not go forever in the negative y direction.

Final Answer: Choice B) Bounded below

Explanation:

observational studies are those a study  where the researcher observes the effect of a defy factor, diagnostic test, treatment or other intervention without trying to change who is or isn't exposed to it. Cohort study and control studies are of two observational studies. These are the part of fundamental of epidemiological research. These are called observational studies because the investigators observe individuals without manipulation and intervention. These studies are an important category of study design.
