Beth purchased a computer, and its value depreciated exponentially each year. Beth will sketch a graph of the situation, where x

represents the number of years since she purchased the computer, and y represents its value that year. Beth will only sketch the graph in the quadrant or quadrants for which it makes sense to. In which quadrant or quadrants will Beth sketch the graph?

What is x?

It is the number of years since purchase. Can this be negative?

NO! Years cannot be negative. So we disregard negative x-axis.


What is y?

It is the value of the computer at that year. A computer starts off with a positive value (y axis) and depreciates to 0 after some years. Can this be negative?

NO! At 0 value, the computer is worth nothing! There is nothing known as <em>negative </em>value. So we disregard negative y-axis.


The graph that Beth will sketch will have to be in the 1st quadrant (positive x-axis & positive y-axis).

ANSWER: Quadrant I only

The volume of a tetrahedron is 1 6 of the volume of a parallelepiped whose sides are formed using the vectors coming out of one
Irina18 [472]

Answer: The volume of the tetrahedron is 2 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = (1, 1, 1)

B = (1, 5, 5)

C = (2, 2, 1)

The volume of a tetrahedron is given as

V = (1/6)|AB, AC, AD|

Where |AB, AC, AD| is the determinant of the matrix of AB, AC, AD.

We need to determine AB, AC, and AD

Suppose A = (a1, a2, a3)

B = (b1, b2, b3)

C = ( c1, c2, c3)

AB = ( b1 - a1, b2 - a2, b3 - a3)

Similarly for AB, AC, BC, etc.

AB = (1 - 1, 5 - 1, 5 - 1)

= (0, 4, 4)

AC = (1, 0, 2)

AD = (1, 1, 0)

Volume =

(1/6) |0 4 4|

|1 0 2|

|1 1 0|

= (1/6)[0(0 - 2) - 4(0 - 2) + 4(1 - 0)

= (1/6)(0 + 8 - 4)

= (1/6)(12)

V = 12/6 = 2 units

Whats the minimum and maximum value of f(x)=3(x+8)^2−10
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

(-8,-10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite (x+8)2(x+8)² as (x+8)(x+8).

f(x)=3((x+8)(x+8))−10

Expand (x+8) (x+8) using the FOIL Method.

Apply the distributive property.

f(x)=3(x(x+8)+8(x+8))−10

Apply the distributive property.

f(x)=3(x⋅x+x⋅8+8(x+8))−10
Apply the distributive property.

Simplify and combine like terms.

Simplify each term.

Multiply x by x.

f(x)=3(x2+x⋅8+8x+8⋅8)−10

Move 8 to the left of x.

f(x)=3(x2+8⋅x+8x+8⋅8)−10

Multiply 8 by 8.

f(x)=3(x2+8x+8x+64)−10

Add 8x and 8x.

f(x)=3(x2+16x+64)−10

Apply the distributive property.

f(x)=3x2+3(16x)+3⋅64−10

Simplify.

Multiply 16 by 3.

f(x)=3x2+48x+3⋅64−10

Multiply 3 by 64.

f(x)=3x2+48x+192−10

Subtract 10 from 192.

f(x)=3x2+48x+182

The minimum of a quadratic function occurs at x=-\frac{b}{2a} If a is positive, the minimum value of the function is f (-\frac{b}{2a}).

Substitute in the values of aa and b.

x=−\frac{48}{2(3)}

x=-8

Replace the variable x with −8 in the expression.

f(−8)=3(−8)2+48(−8)+182

Y=-10

Therefore, the minimum value is (-8,-10) but if it is asking for just the y-value it would be -10.
