Answer:
c. f(x)=x(x+2)(x-1)(x-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Where it says "as x goes to negative infinity" then "y goes to infinity" (that's the part with the infinity symbols) that means the graph is going up at it's left end. This curve is a quartic (4th degree) which means its left and right ends are kind of parabola-ish, but the middle is not the neat u-ish, v-ish shape of a parabola; it's more like a wonky, noodle-ish wavy affair. Anyway, LIKE a parabola when the beginning of the equation is positive, the two ends point up. That's what's happening here and so we can eliminate b. and d. as potential answers.
Since -2, 0, 1, 4 are zeros (which are solutions...and also x-intercepts) we can find the factors of the function.
If x = -2
ADD 2 to both sides.
x + 2 = 0
This means (x+2) is a factor.
This is enough info to select answer c. but let's verify the other factors.
If x = 1
SUBTRACT 1 from both sides.
x - 1 = 0
Thus means (x - 1) is a factor.
If x = 4
SUBTRACT 4 from both sides.
x - 4 = 0
(x - 4) is a factor.
You can see c. has all these factors as well as x, because x=0 already, so x is a factor too.
I think of this as a working backwards problem, bc usually you have to factor and solve. This one, you have solutions (which are zeros and x-intercepts) and work backwards to find factors and multiply them together to find the function.
Answer:
The first term is 14.
Step-by-step explanation:
The general formula for this kind of sequence (arithmetic) is a(n) = a(1) + (n-1)c, where c is the common difference. Here, we have a(6) = -1 = a(1) + (6-1)(-3), or -1 +15 = a(1). The first term is 14.
Answer: the correct option is A
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of the bus is $25000. She took a loan of $25000 to be paid of in 5 years at an interest rate of 7%.
The formula for simple interest is expressed as
I = PRT/100
Where
I = interest
P = principal or initial amount borrowed
T = time in years
R = interest rate in percentage
From the information given,
P = 25000
R = 7%
T = 5 years
Therefore
I = (25000 × 7 × 5)/100 = 875000/100
I = $8750
Answer:
(2*2*1.5*1/3)+(2*1.5*4)= 14
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of a pyramid, you use the equation of 1/3 *lwh. When we place the values in there, we get 2*2*1.5*1/3, which is equal to 2. Then we solve the bottom part. Since it is a rectangular prism, we use the equation of lwh. When we insert the values, we get 2*1.5*4, which is equal to 12. Now, we take these two values of 2 and 12 and we combine them, giving us our final answer of 14.
