12x - 36 - 6x \ is \ simplified \ to \ 6(x-6)

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The commutative property of addition states that:

a+b=b+a

So applying this property to our expression we have:

12x - 36 - 6x=-6x+12x-36 \\ \\ \\ So \ here: \\ \\ a=12x-36 \\ \\ b=-6x \\ \\ \\ Combining \ like \ terms: \\ \\ 12x - 36 - 6x=6x-36 \\ \\ \\ Common \ factor \ 6: \\ \\  12x - 36 - 6x=6(x-6) \\ \\ \\ Finally: \\ \\ 12x - 36 - 6x \ is \ simplified \ to \ 6(x-6)

Find the intervals on which the function is increasing or decreasing.
Assoli18 [71]
To solve this, you have to know that the first derivative of a function is its slope. When an interval is increasing, it has a positive slope. Thus, we are trying to solve for when the first derivative of a function is positive/negative.

f(x)=2x^3+6x^2-18x+2
f'(x)=6x^2+12x-18
f'(x)=6(x^2+2x-3)
f'(x)=6(x+3)(x-1)
So the zeroes of f'(x) are at x=1, x=-3
Because there is no multiplicity, when the function passes a zero, he y value is changing signs.
Since f'(0)=-18, intervals -3<x<1 is decreasing(because -3<0<1)
Thus, every other portion of the graph is increasing.
Therefore, you get:

Increasing: (negative infinite, -3), (1, infinite)
Decreasing:(-3,1)

The varsity basketball team started selling T-shirts online in 1994. The number of T-shirts sold online, s, is modeled by the gr
-Dominant- [34]

(PART-A): s-intercept in this case represents the y-intercept of the graph, whereas the t-intercept in this case represents the x-intercept of the graph.

Always remember that y-intercept represents the value of y where the curve (or line) crosses the y-axis, and x-intercept represents the value of x where the curve (or line) crosses the x-axis.

In the graph attached with the question, at point (0,6) the curve crosses the y-axis. Therefore, the <em>y-intercept (s-intercept) in this case is 6</em>. It means that in year 2000 (t=0), 6 hundred shirts were sold.

However, there is no point on the graph where the curve crosses the x-axis, meaning there is <em>no x-intercept (t-intercept)</em>. It means that there is <em>not</em> a single year when the number of shirts sold is 0.


(PART B): As you can see in the graph (attached with the question) that the <em>f(t)</em> is increasing (exponentially) with the increase in <em>t. </em>Therefore, we can safely say that as t increases without bound, the f(t) increases (also). In this context, it means that the sale of shirts increases as the years go by. Hence, the correct blank is "increases."


(PART C): The average rate of change is actually the slope. To find the slope, we can use the following formula:

slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} --- (X)

Given points: (5, 12.5) and (7, 22). Plug the values in equation (X),

slope = \frac{22-12.5}{7-5} = 4.75

Hence, the average rate of change for the function between t=5 and t=7 is 4.75 (answer).


(PART D): This part is bit tricky. Therefore, read the explanation carefully!

You can see in the graph that number of Shirts sold is in <em>hundreds. </em>It means that 1 unit (of y-axis in a graph) represents 100 shirts. Therefore, as in the question it is mentioned that there are 1000 T-shirts sold, it will become 10 units (since 10*100 = 1000). So, the function g(t) will become the following:

g(t) = f(t) + 10 --- (Y)

Why did I add f(t)? Because in the question, the word "<em>and</em>" is underlined. It means that g(t) represents not only 1000 T-shirts (10*100 = 1000) sold at the basketball games each year, but it also has the number of T-shirts sold ONLINE, which is f(t).

Now insert f(t) in (Y) and solve:

g(t) = f(t) + 10\\g(t) = (1.5)^t + 5+ 10\\g(t) = (1.5)^t + 15

Hence, g(t) is (1.5)^t + 15
