Answer:

a = -4, b = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

P(2) = 0

= 4a +2b = -10

P(4) = 6

= 16a + 4b = -52

16a + 4b = -52 - 8a + 4b = -20

= 8a = -32

a = -4

b = -3

The function f(x) = –x2 – 4x + 5 is shown on the graph. On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens down. It goes through (negative
madam [21]

The true statement is:

"The range of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to 9."

<h3>Which statements are true?</h3>

Here we have the quadratic function:

f(x) = -x^2 - 4x + 5

And we want to see which of the given statements are true.

The first one is:

"The domain is al real numbers less than or equal to -2"

This is false, for all quadratic functions the domain is the set of all real numbers (unless the domain is defined).

The second statement is:

" The domain of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to 9."

Also false

Third one:

" The range of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to −2"

The range of a quadratic function with a negative leading coefficient will be the set of all the values smaller than the y-value of the vertex.

In this case, the quadratic function is:

f(x) = -x^2 - 4x + 5

So the vertex is at:

x = 4/(2*-1) = -2\\

Then the y-value of the vertex is:

f(-2) = -(-2)^2 - 4*(-2) + 5 = -4 + 8 + 5 = 9

So the range is the set of all real numbers less than or equal to 9.

So the above statement is false, and the final one:

"The range of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to 9."

Is the true statement.

Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
galben [10]

Answer:

15.4

Step-by-step explanation:

sin 17° = 4.5 /x

x = 4.5 / sin 17° = 4.5 /0.2924

= 15.4
