Identify the interval on which the quadratic function is positive.

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

$\textsf{1. \quad Solution: $1 < x < 4$,\quad Interval notation: $(1, 4)$}$

$\textsf{2. \quad Solution: $-2 < x < 4$,\quad Interval notation: $(-2, 4)$}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Question 1</h3>

The intervals on which a quadratic function is positive are those intervals where the function is above the x-axis, i.e. where y > 0.

The zeros of the quadratic function are the points at which the parabola crosses the x-axis.

As the given quadratic function has a negative leading coefficient, the parabola opens downwards. Therefore, the interval on which y > 0 is between the zeros.

To find the zeros of the given quadratic function, substitute y = 0 and factor:

$\begin{aligned}y&= 0\\\implies -7x^2+35x-28& = 0\\-7(x^2-5x+4)& = 0\\x^2-5x+4& = 0\\x^2-x-4x+4& = 0\\x(x-1)-4(x-1)&= 0\\(x-1)(x-4)& = 0\end{aligned}$

Apply the zero-product property:

$\implies x-1=0 \implies x=1$

$\implies x-4=0 \implies x=4$

Therefore, the interval on which the function is positive is:

Solution: 1 < x < 4
Interval notation: (1, 4)

<h3>Question 2</h3>

The intervals on which a quadratic function is negative are those intervals where the function is below the x-axis, i.e. where y < 0.

The zeros of the quadratic function are the points at which the parabola crosses the x-axis.

As the given quadratic function has a positive leading coefficient, the parabola opens upwards. Therefore, the interval on which y < 0 is between the zeros.

To find the zeros of the given quadratic function, substitute y = 0 and factor:

$\begin{aligned}y&= 0\\\implies 2x^2-4x-16& = 0\\2(x^2-2x-8)& = 0\\x^2-2x-8& = 0\\x^2-4x+2-8& = 0\\x(x-4)+2(x-4)&= 0\\(x+2)(x-4)& = 0\end{aligned}$

Apply the zero-product property:

$\implies x+2=0 \implies x=-2$

$\implies x-4=0 \implies x=4$

Therefore, the interval on which the function is negative is:

Solution: -2 < x < 4
Interval notation: (-2, 4)

How many sides does a regular polygon have if the measure of one of it's interior angles is 144?

butalik [34]

Each Interior Angle = 180° - (360 / sides)
144 = 180 - (360 / sides)
(360 / sides) = 36
sides = 360 / 36
sides = 10
It is a decagon.

So, in this problem you already have the equations set up for how much money each one works. You have Jim, earning a starting amount of $35, plus an additional $3 for every hour he works. You also have John, who gets $8.

The variable in the equations is h, which stands for hours. From there, you can put the three different h values (6, 7, and 8) into the equations to see who gets more money.

For instance, for Day 1, Jim gets 35+3x6 dollars, or 35+18=$53, while John gets 8x6 dollars, or $48. You can substitute in 7 and 8 and do the same process to get the answers for Day 1 and 2.

Hope this helps!
