Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Take a look at what happens when squaring either of these...
Notice a couple of patterns.
1. The last term has a positive coefficient. That rules out answer choices C and D.
2. The coefficient of the middle term is either . So what are <em>a</em> and <em>b</em>? <em>a</em> is the square root of the x^2 term and <em>b</em> is the square root of the y^2 term.
The middle coefficient needs to be either +30 or -30. The answer is choice A.
Answer:
f(x) = -2x + 7, when x > 1
f(x) = 4x + 1 when x ≤ 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The right side graph passe through points (1,5) and (2,3).
Hence, the equation of the line
⇒ (y - 5) = 2(1 - x)
⇒ y - 5 = 2 - 2x
⇒ y = -2x +7.......... (1)
Now, the left side graph passes through points (1,5) and (0,1)
Therefore, the equation of the graph will be
⇒ y - 5 = 4(x - 1)
⇒ y = 4x + 1 ........ (2)
Hence, the equation (1) gives the function in the right side of the given graph which does not include the point (1,5) and extends to the right from this point.
Therefore, f(x) = -2x + 7, when x > 1 (Answer)
Again, equation (2) gives the function in the left side of the given graph which includes the point (1,5) and extends to the left from this point.
Therefore, f(x) = 4x + 1 when x ≤ 1 (Answer)
