Since T is the midpoint of PQ, this means that PT and TQ must be equal to each other. Make them equal to each other in an equation.
PT = TQ
4x + 2 = 7x - 7
- Subtract 2 from both sides.
4x = 7x - 9
- Subtract 7x from both sides.
-3x = -9
<u>x = 3</u>
- Now substitute 3 for x into PT.
PT = 4(3) + 2
<h3>PT = 14</h3>
ANSWER TO QUESTION 1
.
EXPLANATION
The function given to us is,

According to rational roots theorem,
are possible rational zeros of
.
We find out that,




Also




This implies that
are factors of
and hence
is also a factor.
We perform the long division as shown in the diagram.
Hence,
.
ANSWER TO QUESTION 2
Sketching the graph
We can see from the factorization that the roots
and
have a multiplicity of 1, which is odd. This means that the graph crosses the x-axis at this intercepts.
Also the root
has a multiplicity of 2, which is even. This means the graph does not cross the x-axis at this intercept.
Now we determine the position of the graph on the following intervals,









We can now use these information to sketch the function as shown in diagram
Answer:
Graph the line using the slope and y-intercept, or two points.
Slope: −1-1
y-intercept: (0,0)(0,0)
xy−1100
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h be the numbers of hours, f be the one-time fee and c the cost charged. The equation is

Since you pay $15 per four, plus the fee. We can solve this equation for the fee:

If we plug c=195 and h=9, we have
