we are given
f(x)=[x=1]
where bracket means ceiling functions
we know that
Ceiling function returns the least value of the integer that is greater than or equal to the specified number
so, we can check each options
option-A:

At x=-4:
f(x)=[-4-1] =-5
For x<-3:
Let's assume
x=-3.1
f(x)=[-3.1-1] =[-4.1]=-5
so, this interval is TRUE
option-B:

At x=-2:
f(x)=[-2-1] =-3
For x<-1:
Let's assume
x=-1.1
f(x)=[-1.1-1] =[-2.1]=-3
so, this is FALSE
To simplify a division of exponents, you can subtract the powers. 2-(1/4)=7/4
Now, the expression is 3^7/4, which is equal to 6.8385.
Hope this helps!!
A system of two equations can be classified as follows: If the slopes are the same but the y-intercepts are different, the system has no solution. If the slopes are different, the system has one solution. If the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are the same, the system has infinitely many solutions.
Ok for this problem, there are 2 equations representing hall A and hall B
hall A: y=76x+862 where x=number of dinners and y=total cost
hall B: y=75x+894 for the same variables
To find where the 2 meet, simply substitute one equation into the other, creating: 76x+862=75x+894
Solving this, we find that x=32, so at 32 guests, the cost would be the same
For part 2, put the answer for part 1 into either equation from the start, so y=76(32)+862, or y=3294
And we already found that x=32, which represents the # of guests
Answer:
coefficient of x: 2
coefficient of y: 3
coefficient of z: -7
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, first we need to sum the polynomials A and B, then we need to check the coefficients of x, y and z.
The sum of the polynomials is:
A + B = 5z + 4x^2 - 6y + 2 + 2x + 9y - 12z - 2
A + B = 4x^2 + 2x + 3y - 7z
So, the coefficients are:
coefficient of x^2: 4
coefficient of x: 2
coefficient of y: 3
coefficient of z: -7
