The graph of the function f(x) = (x - 3)(x + 1)

Mathematics
1 answer:
djyliett [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The graph is positive and decreasing for all real values of x where x < -1

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=(x-3)(x+1)

The function is a vertical parabola open up

The roots (x-intercepts) are x=3 and x=-1

The vertex is the point (1,-4 ) is a minimum

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

we know that

In the interval (-∞,-1) ---> the function is positive and decreasing

In the interval (-1,1) ---> the function is negative and decreasing

In the interval (1,3) ---> the function is negative and increasing

In the interval (3,∞) ---> the function is positive and increasing

therefore

The graph is positive and decreasing for all real values of x where x < -1

Solving by elimination <br> 5x+2y= -3<br> 3x+3y=9<br> please help me solve x and y
-Dominant- [34]
1) -3(5x+2y=-3)⇒ -15x-6y=9
                                             ⇒ -9x=27
     2(3x+3y=9)⇒ 6x+6y=18

2) -9x/-9=27/-9 ⇒ x=-3 

3) 3(-3)+3y=9⇒ -9+9+3y=9+9⇒ 3y/3=18/3⇒ y=6

Answer: (-3,6)

Reasoning:
Step 1) In order to eliminate, first I had to multiple the first equation by -3 and the second by 2 so that when combining the equations y would cancel each other out so that I could solve for x. <em>Note: There are many combinations as to how you could multiple the equations so that either the x or y would cancel out.
</em>
Step 2) Once y is eliminated, solve for x.

Step 3) Now plug x back into one of the original equations and solve for y. <em>Note: Plug x back into one of the original equations, not the equations that were changed by multiplication,</em>
