Answer: Choice C
h(x) = -x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 5
===========================================
Explanation:
When reflecting the function f(x) over the y axis, we replace every x with -x and simplify like so
f(x) = -x^4 - 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 4x + 5
f(-x) = -(-x)^4 - 2(-x)^3 + 3(-x)^2 - 4(-x) + 5
f(-x) = -x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 5
h(x) = -x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 5
Note the sign changes that occur for the terms that have odd exponents (the terms -2x^3 and -4x become +2x^3 and +4x); while the even exponent terms keep the same sign.
The reason why we replace every x with -x is because of the examples mentioned below
-----------
Examples:
The point (1,2) moves to (-1,2) after a y axis reflection
Similarly, (-5,7) moves to (5,7) after a y axis reflection.
As you can see, the y coordinate stays the same but the x coordinate flips in sign from negative to positive or vice versa. This is the direct reason for the replacement of every x with -x.
The vertex point is (0,4)
The two other points are (-2,0)(2,0)
Answer:
The mean reflects the best measure of the center
Step-by-step explanation:
12, 13, 13, 14, 21, 22, 23
Median: 14
Mean: 16.86
The mean reflects the best measure of the center
Answer:
A product of factors is zero if and only if one or more of the factors is zero. That is, if ab = 0, then either a = 0 or b = 0 (or both).
Hence (x+3)(x+12) = 0 only if (x+3) = 0 or (x+12) = 0 or both. (x+3) = 0 when x = 3.(x+12) = 0 when x = 12.
Hence the values of x that make (x+3)(x+12) = 0 are x = 3 and x = 12.
