All you do is plug in -7 so you get f(x)=8(-7)*15 you get -56*15 which goes to -840
Answer:
(d) f(x) = (x − 3)^2(x − 2)(x − 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
In this context, a crossing of the axis at x=p means there is a factor of (x-p). A "touch" of the axis at x=q means there is a factor of (x -q)^2.
A crossing at x=1 and x=2, and a touch at x=3 means the factors are ...
f(x) = (x -1)(x -2)(x -3)^2 . . . . . matches the last choice
I always found it easiest to draw out the picture
Answer:
y = 9x/5 + 50
Step-by-step explanation:
We are represent the information as coordinate (x,y)
If the cost for an order of 100 kilograms of steel bars is $230, this is expressed as (100, 230)
Also if the cost for an order of 150 kilograms of steel bars is $320, this is expressed as;
(150, 320)
Find the equation of a line passing through the points. The standard form of the equation is expressed as y = mx+c
m is the slope
c is the intercept
Get the slope;
m = y2-y1/x2-x1
m = 320-230/150-100
m = 90/50
m = 9/5
Get the y-intercept by substituting m = 9/5 and any point say (100, 230) into the expression y = mx+c
230 = 9/5(100)+c
230 = 9(20)+c
230 = 180 + c
c = 230-180
c = 50
Get the required equation
y = mx+c
y = 9/5 x + 50
Hence an equation for the cost of an order of steel bars (y) in terms of the weight of steel bars ordered (x) is y = 9x/5 + 50
The answer is b (I think not really sure)
