Answer:
x=0.129171
x=3.87083
Step-by-step explanation:
M = -3
n = 8
plug in your variables.
-3 - (2 x -8)
two negatives make a positive, so it would be positive 16
-3 + 16
= 13
Answer: 5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The graph is positive and decreasing for all real values of x where x < -1
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

The function is a vertical parabola open up
The roots (x-intercepts) are x=3 and x=-1
The vertex is the point (1,-4 ) is a minimum
using a graphing tool
see the attached figure
we know that
In the interval (-∞,-1) ---> the function is positive and decreasing
In the interval (-1,1) ---> the function is negative and decreasing
In the interval (1,3) ---> the function is negative and increasing
In the interval (3,∞) ---> the function is positive and increasing
therefore
The graph is positive and decreasing for all real values of x where x < -1
