Answer:
Real values of x where x < -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Above the x-axis, the function is positive.
The function is decreasing when the gradient is negative.
The function has a positive

coefficient, therefore the vertex is a local minimum;
This means the gradients are negative before the vertex and positive after it;
To meet the conditions therefore, the function must be before the vertex and above the x-axis;
This will be anywhere before the x-intercept at x = -1;
Hence it is when x < -1.
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
7x - 4y = 23 and x + y = 8
Multiply the second equation by 4
4x + 4y = 32
Add this to the first equation
7x - 4y = 23
4x + 4y = 32
------------------------
11x = 55
Divide each side by 11
11x/11 = 55/11
x = 5
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
An undefined slope means that the line is vertical and parallel to the y- axis.
A vertical line has equal x- coordinates of the points it passes through.
The only pair where the x- coordinates are equal are
(- 3, - 3) and (- 3, 3) ← undefined slope → C
Answer:
Yes.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, draw a vertical line. Then check the interception between the graph and a vertical line.
If the line intercepts the graph only one point, then it is a function. Otherwise, it is not. That includes two or more.
The graph shown in the picture is a function (Cubic Function).
