Answer:

The correct option is;

The \ domain \ restriction \ x \geq \dfrac{17}{2} \ results \ in \ m^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{x + \dfrac{289}{4} }}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information is that m(x) = x² - 17·x

The above equation can be written in the form;

y = x² - 17·x

Therefore;

0 = x² - 17·x - y

From the general solution of a quadratic equation, 0 = a·x² + b·x + c we have;

x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\cdot a\cdot c}}{2\cdot a}

By comparison to the equation,0 = x² - 17·x - y, we have;

a = 1, b = -17, and c = -y

Substituting the values of a, b and c into the formula for the general solution of a quadratic equation, we have;

x = \dfrac{-(-17)\pm \sqrt{(-17)^{2}-4\times (1) \times (-y)}}{2\times (1)} = \dfrac{17\pm \sqrt{289+4\cdot y}}{2}

Which can be simplified as follows;

x =  \dfrac{17\pm \sqrt{289+4\cdot y}}{2}= \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \dfrac{1}{2}  \times \sqrt{289+4\cdot y}} = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{289}{4} +\dfrac{4\cdot y}{4} }}

And further simplified as follows;

x = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{289}{4} +y }} = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{y + \dfrac{289}{4} }}

Interchanging x and y in the function of the inverse, m⁻¹(x), we have;

m^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{x + \dfrac{289}{4} }}

We note that the maximum or minimum point of the function, m(x) = x² - 17·x found by differentiating the function and equating the result to zero, gives;

m'(x) = 2·x - 17 = 0

x = 17/2

Similarly, the second derivative is taken to determine if the given point is a maximum or minimum point as follows;

m''(x) = 2 > 0, therefore, the point is a minimum point on the graph

Therefore, as x increases past the minimum point of 17/2, m⁻¹(x) increases to give;

The \ domain \ restriction \ x \geq \dfrac{17}{2} \ results \ in \ m^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{x + \dfrac{289}{4} }} to increase m⁻¹(x) above the minimum.

A chef uses a circular pan with a 24-inch diameter to make a pizza. What is the area of pizza
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

<u>The area of a pizza made in that circular pan is 452.39 inches²</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Diameter of the circular pan = 24 inches

Radius of the circular pan = 24/2 = 12 inches

2. What is the area of the pizza?

Let's use the formula of the area of a circle, this way:

Area = π * r²

Substituting with the real values, we have:

Area = 3.1416 * 12²

Area = 452.39 inches²

<u>The area of a pizza made in that circular pan is 452.39 inches²</u>

Express each of the following quadratic functions in the form of f(x) = a (x - h)²+ k.Then,state the minimum or maximum value,ax
Ivan

Given:

The function is:

f(x)=-2x^2+7x+4

To find:

Express the quadratic equation in the form of f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k, then state the minimum or maximum value,axis of symmetry and minimum or maximum point.

Solution:

The vertex form of a quadratic function is:

f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k              ...(i)

Where, a is a constant, (h,k) is the vertex and x=h is the axis of symmetry.

We have,

f(x)=-2x^2+7x+4

It can be written as:

f(x)=-2\left(x^2-3.5x\right)+4

Adding and subtracting square of half of coefficient of x inside the parenthesis, we get

f(x)=-2\left(x^2-3.5x+(\dfrac{3.5}{2})^2-(\dfrac{3.5}{2})^2\right)+4

f(x)=-2\left(x^2-3.5x+(1.75)^2\right)-2\left(-(1.75)^2\right)+4

f(x)=-2\left(x-1.75\right)^2+2(3.0625)+4

f(x)=-2\left(x-1.75\right)^2+6.125+4

f(x)=-2\left(x-1.75\right)^2+10.125                ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

a=-2,h=1.75,k=10.125

Here, a is negative, the given function represents a downward parabola and its vertex is the point of maxima.

Maximum value = 10.125

Axis of symmetry : x=1.75

Maximum point = (1.75,10.125)

Therefore, the vertex form of the given function is f(x)=-2\left(x-1.75\right)^2+10.125, the maximum value is 10.125, the axis of symmetry is x=1.75 and the maximum point is (1.75,10.125).
