ANSWER
EXPLANATION
The corresponding ordered pairs from the graph are:
(2,1) (3,2) (4,4) (5,8)
The y-values are:
1,2,4,8
The first term term is the term before 1,this has to be.
The common ratio is
The nth term is given by
Let's substitute the values to get,
This simplifies to,
Step-by-step explanation:
Just graph it and see if the descriptions fit the graph
(see attached)
A. We can see from the graph that the possible x-values are -∞ ≤ x ≤ +∞ . Hence limiting to domain to x≤ -2 this is obviously not true.
B. We can see from the graph that the vertex is y = 6 and that the entirety of the graph is under this point, hence range y<6 is true
C. We can see that the vertex is located at x=-2. Every part of the graph to the left of this point has a positive slope, hence the function is increasing for negative infinity to this point x=-2 is true
D) We can see that for the interval -4<x<∞, the graph actually increases between -4<x<-2, and then decreases after that. Hence this statement is not true.
E. it is obvious that the y intercept is y=2 which is positive. Hence this is true.
