Answer:
a.
<u>Increasing:</u>
x < 0
x > 2
<u>Decreasing:</u>
0 < x < 2
b.
-1 < x < 2
x > 2
c.
x < -1
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
Function is increasing when it is going up as we go rightward
Function is decreasing when it is going down as we go rightward
We can see that as we move up (from negative infinity) until x = 0, the function is increasing. Also, as we go right from x = 2 towards positive infinity, the function is going up (increasing).
So,
<u>Increasing:</u>
x < 0
x > 2
The function is going down, or decreasing, at the in-between points of increasing, that is from 0 to 2, so that would be:
<u>Decreasing:</u>
0 < x < 2
b.
When we want where the function is greater than 0, we basically want the intervals at which the function is ABOVE the x-axis [ f(x) > 0 ].
Looking at the graph, it is
from -1 to 2 (x axis)
and 2 to positive infinity
We can write:
-1 < x < 2
x > 2
c.
Now we want when the function is less than 0, that is basically saying when the function is BELOW the x-axis.
This will be the other intervals than the ones we mentioned above in part (b).
Looking at the graph, we see that the graph is below the x-axis when it is less than -1, so we can write:
x < -1
Okay, so, to find out if an equation has one solution, an infinite number of solutions, or no solutions, we must first solve the equation:
(a) 6x + 4x - 6 = 24 + 9x
First, combine the like-terms on both sides of the equal sign:
10x - 6 = 24 + 9x
Now, we need to get the numbers with the variable 'x,' on the same side, by subtracting, in this case:
10x - 6 = 24 + 9x
-9x. -9x
______________
X - 6 = 24
Now, we do the opposite of subtraction, and add 6 to both sides:
X - 6 = 24
+6 +6
_________
X = 30
So, this particular equation has one solution.
(a). One solution
_____________________________________________________
(b) 25 - 4x = 15 - 3x + 10 - x
Okay, so again, we combine the like-terms, on the same side of the equal sign:
25 - 4x = 25 - 2x
Now, we get the 2 numbers with the variable 'x,' to the same side of the equal sign:
25 - 4x = 25 - 2x
+ 2x + 2x
________________
25 - 2x = 25
Next, we do the opposite of addition, and, subtract 25 on each side:
25 - 2x = 25
-25 -25
___________
-2x = 0
Finally, because we can't divide 0 by -2, this tells us that this has an infinite number of solutions.
(b) An infinite number of solutions.
__________________________________________________
(c) 4x + 8 = 2x + 7 + 2x - 20
Again, we combine the like-terms, on the same side as the equal sign:
4x + 8 = 4x - 13
Now, we get the 'x' variables on the same side, again, and, we do that by doing the opposite of addition, which, is subtraction:
4x + 8 = 4x - 13
-4x -4x
______________
8 = -13
Finally, because there is no longer an 'x' or variable, we know that this equation has no solution.
(c) No Solution
