Answer:

D. A quadratic function since the points are symmetric about the line  x=30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

A travel agency made the table below to represent the profits it make on a certain vacation package.

x                  Profit per Person (in dollars), f(x)

10                     500

20                     800

30                     900

40                     800

50                     500

Which of the following explains the best model for the data in the table?

A) An absolute value function since the values increase and then decrease

B) An exponential function since the ratio of the y-values are about the same.

C) A linear function since the function changes at a rate of 30 dollars per person

D) A quadratic function since the points are symmetric about the line x = 30.

First of all, we will graph all the given points on coordinate plane and then join the points to see the graph.

We can see that point (10,500) is symmetric to point (50,500). Point (20,800) is symmetric to point (40,800).

Upon looking at attached image, we can see that the data forms the shape of a downward opening parabola, which is symmetric to line x=30.

Therefore, a quadratic function best represents the given data because the points are symmetric about the line x=30.

If lim x-> infinity ((x^2)/(x+1)-ax-b)=0 find the value of a and b
MAXImum [283]

We have

\dfrac{x^2}{x+1}=\dfrac{(x+1)^2-2(x+1)+1}{x+1}=(x+1)-2+\dfrac1{x+1}=x-1+\dfrac1{x+1}

So

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(\frac{x^2}{x+1}-ax-b\right)=\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(x-1+\frac1{x+1}-ax-b\right)=0

The rational term vanishes as <em>x</em> gets arbitrarily large, so we can ignore that term, leaving us with

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}\left((1-a)x-(1+b)\right)=0

and this happens if <em>a</em> = 1 and <em>b</em> = -1.

To confirm, we have

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(\frac{x^2}{x+1}-x+1\right)=\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{x^2-(x-1)(x+1)}{x+1}=\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac1{x+1}=0

as required.

Multiply (-2/3) (5/4)<br><br> Quick help!
ki77a [65]

Answer: -\frac{5}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply fractions, you multiply straight across and simplify.

-\frac{2}{3}*\frac{5}{4}           [multiply]

-\frac{10}{12}               [simplify]

-\frac{5}{6}

Now, we know that the product is -\frac{5}{6}.

A box contains four red balls and eight black balls. Two balls are randomly chosen from the box, and are not
Julli [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Total balls = 12

Probability of 2 black balls = 2/ 8 = 1/4

Probability of 2 red balls = 2/4 = 1/2

Probability of both red and black = 2/12 = 1/6
