Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation: f(x) = x^2 + 4x - 21.
This function has a graph which is a parabola that opens up.
Its vertex is found by completing the square:
x² + 4x + 4 - 4 - 21, or
(x + 2)² - 25
Comparing this to the standard equation
(x - h)² + k, we see that h = -2 and k = -25.
Thus, the vertex (and the minimum of this function) is (-2, -25).
Thus, the range is [-25, ∞ ). This being a polynomial function, it has no restrictions on the domain: the domain is (-∞, ∞ )
They are similar. Set the proportions equal to each other
(x + 8)/8 = (x+14)/12
Cross multiply
(x + 8)/8 (8)(12) = (x + 14)/12 (12)(8)
12(x + 8) = 8(x + 14)
Distribute the 12 and 8 to the corresponding monomials inside the parenthesis
12(x + 8) = 12x + 96
8(x + 14) = 8x + 112
12x + 96 = 8x + 112
Isolate the x. Subtract 8x from both sides and 96 from both sides
12x (-8x) + 96 (-96) = 8x (-8x) + 112 (-96)
12x - 8x = 112 - 96
4x = 16
Isolate the equal sign. Divide 4 from both sides
4x/4 = 16/4
x = 16/4
x = 4
