Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
To obtain this form use the method of completing the square.
Given
f(x) = - 0.6x² + 4.2x + 240 ← factor out - 0.6 from the first 2 terms
= - 0.6(x² - 7x) + 240
To complete the square
add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 7x
f(x) = - 0.6(x² + 2(- 3.5)x + 12.25 - 12.25 ) + 240
= - 0.6 (x - 3.5)² + 7.35 + 240
= - 0.6(x - 3.5)² + 247.35
with vertex = (3.5, 247.35 )
The maximum value is the y- coordinate of the vertex
Then
f(x) = - 0.6(x - 3.5)² + 247.35 has a maximum value of 247.35
Answer:
this is the order
-14/5, -11/5, -3/2, -2/3, 6/5, 4/2, 11/5, 16/5
F(x) = 2^x
(The ‘^’ means ‘to the power of’)
To find this function, you first need to notice that the y values are powers of 2, and you can tell because they are doubling each time x increases: 4 × 2 = 8, 8 × 2 = 16, etc.
Once you’ve noticed that they are powers of 2, you then need to find out which powers of 2 they are. The first y value is 4 which equals 2², and the second y value is 8 which equals 2³.
This means that the power is the x value, so you end up with f(x) = 2^x
I hope this helps!
