Step-by-step explanation:

The second part of the roller coaster must be a parabola with the expression

(x-a)(x-b)

let a= 1 and b= 2

so the equation is :

f(x)=  (x-1)(x-2) = x²-2x-x+2 = x²-3x+2

  • The vertex of the parabola:

f(x) = x²-3x+2

  • a= 1
  • b= -3
  • c= 2

The vertex coordinates are (\frac{-b}{2a} , f(

-b/2a = 3/1*2 = -3/2

f(-b/2a)=  8.75  (using a calculator)

a is positive since 1 > 0

so :

  • f decreases  untill reaching (-3/2 , 8.75) and then increases  
  • the vertex (-3/2, 8.75) is a minimum since f" > 0

f(x) = x²-3x+2

f'(x)= 2x-3

f"(x)= 2 > 0

no need to derivate you can just notice that a is positive

  • the y-intercept

the y-intercept is given by f(0)

f(0) = 0²-3*0+2 = 2

so the y-intercept (0,2)

  • the x-intercept

the x-intercept is given by f(x)= 0

x²-3x+2 = 0

The dicriminant method:

let Δ be our dicriminant

  • Δ = b²-4*a*c
  • Δ= -3²-4*1*2
  • Δ= 9-8
  • Δ= 1

Δ > 0 so we have two solutions x and x'

x= (-b-√Δ)/2a = (3-1)/2 = 2/2 = 1

x'=(-b+√Δ)/2a = (3+1)/2 = 4/2 = 2

the x-intercepts are : (1,0) (2,0)

  • here is a graph:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Explicit formula of a G.P. is given by,

a_n=a(r)^{n-1}

Here, a_n = nth term

a = First term

n = number of term

r = common ratio

Given sequence is 3, 6, 12, .......

a = 3

r = \frac{6}{3} = 2

Therefore, explicit formula will be,

a_n=3(2)^{n-1}

Option (3) is the answer.

Parent function → f(x) = 3ˣ

Transformed function → g(x) = 3^{x+5}

Since, g(x) = f(x + 5)

Therefore, function 'f' has been shifted 5 units left.

Option (1) is the answer.
