We can factor <span>4x^2-25 into (2x +5) * (2x -5) and
dividing by (2x -5)
yields (2x +5)
That neatened up pretty nicely.</span>
Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
You are given the function 
The domain of the function are all possible values of variable x, so you can find f(x) for x=-2, 0, 3, 5:

The table is

The inverse function
has the domain which is the range of the function f(x) (all possible values of f(x)), so the domain of inverse function is {-7,-1,8,14}
2x + 6 < x + 20
- x - x
x + 6 < 20
- 6 - 6
x < 14
Solution Set: (-∞, 14)
The <em>correct answers</em> are:
C) No: we would need to know if the vertex is a minimum or a maximum; and
C)( 0.25, 5.875).
Explanation:
The domain of any quadratic function is all real numbers.
The range, however, would depend on whether the quadratic was open upward or downward. If the vertex is a maximum, then the quadratic opens down and the range is all values of y less than or equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex.
If the vertex is a minimum, then the quadratic opens up and the range is all values of y greater than or equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex.
There is no way to identify from the coordinates of the vertex whether it is a maximum or a minimum, so we cannot tell what the range is.
The graph of the quadratic function is shown in the attachment. Tracing it, the vertex is at approximately (0.25, 0.5875).
