Answer:
No.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first and try to isolate x.
-2x < 5
(Divide by -2)
x > -5/2 ( < changes to > b/c it was divided by a negative)
x > -2.5
Since x is all values greater than -2.5, -6 is not within those bounds.
Thus, -6 is not a solution to the inequality.
Hope that helps!
Answer:
-1.8,3
Step-by-step explanation:
This type of problem often results in two answers for X, and to get it, I often like to rearrange the formula to look like this: 5x^2-6x-27. There are various ways to answer this question, but since this is a quadratic equation, I commend using the quadratic formula! It may look scary, but it is actually really simple. I will attach a picture of this formula for reference when you need it.
looking at our modified formula, a= 5, b=-6, and c= -27. With these values in mind, you can go ahead and plug them in the formula. So it will look like (6±√(-6)²-4(5)(-27) )÷2(5).
Let’s break this down a bit, what this formula is saying is that you’ll have 2 operations to do now, the first one will look like this:
, this will result in 3, which is one of your values for x
the second operation will be exactly the same, but instead of adding 6 to the square root of 576 (pssst, it is 24 btw), you will be subtracting. This second operation once done will result in -1.8, which is rounded to the nearest tenth!
If you would like to solve -6 > -30 - 4x for x, you can do this using the following steps:
-6 > -30 - 4x
4x > -30 + 6
4x > -24 /4
x > -24/4
x > -6
The correct result would be x > -6.
Answer:
Answer C: g(x)
Step-by-step explanation:
I used a graphing calculator to graph f(x) = -x^2 + 4x - 5, and by doing so I immedately saw that the vertex of f(x) is at (2, -1).
The absolute max of g(x) is approximately (3.25, 6.1).
The absolute max of f(x) is approximately (2, -1).
Since the y-coordinate of the absolute maximum of g(x) is greater than the y-coordinate of the absolute maximum of f(x), we conclude that Answer C is correct: g(x) has the greater absolute maximum
