Answer:

18 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

5 mins = 10 pages

10 mins = 20 pages

15 mins = 30 pages

20 mins = 40 pages

Just keep adding 5 to the minutes and 10 to the pages. then if you divide 10 by 5 (10÷5) you get 2.

2 is the amount of pages you read in 1 minute.

so 1 minute = 2 pages

Since you only need to read 36 pages, you know that it would at least take you 15 mintes to read 30.

then you start adding 1 minute until you get to 36 pages.

15 minutes = 30 pages

16 minutes = 32 pages

17 minutes = 34 pages

18 minutes = 36 pages

Therefore, it should take 18 minutes to read all 36 pages.

(A shorter way of doing this would be doing 10÷5=2, then just dividing 36 by 2 (36÷2) and you would get 18 which would be the minutes it would take you to read all 36 pages if you read at 2 pages per minute.)

Use the function f(x) = 2x2 − 3x − 5 to answer the questions.
Dovator [93]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

A:  2x² - 3x - 5

    (2x - 5)(x + 1)

B:  Set the factored equation equal to zero and solve for x.

(2x - 5)(x + 1) = 0

2x - 5 = 0

2x = 5

x = 5/2

x + 1 = 0

x = -1

The x-intercepts are 5/2 and -1

C)  To find the end behavior, you need to look at the term in the unfactored equation with the highest exponential number.  For this equation, that is 2x².  Since the exponent is positive,  both ends of the graph will point in the same direction.  Because the leading coefficent is positive, the graph will point upwards.  The end behavior of the graph is that as the x-values approach both ∞ and -∞, the function approaches ∞.

D)  Since we know that the x-intercepts are 5/2 and -1, you can plot these points.  You also know that the graph will be in an upward U shape.  Plug in  a couple x-values and plot them to make the graphing of the equation more accurate.
