Answer:
A. The y-intercept of g(x) is less than the y-intercept of f(x).
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercept, or when x = 0, of f(x) is -4, the x-intercept of g(x) is -8, so g(x) are neither greater nor equal to f(x), this marks out C and D. The y-intercept, or when y = 0, is in this case f(x) or g(x). The y-intercept of f(x) is 16, the y-intercept of g(x) is 4, so the y-intercept of g(x) is not equal to the y-intercept of f(x), this marks out B. Now to check A, 4 < 16, so y-intercept of g(x) < y-intercept of f(x), the answer is A
Answer:
It will take nine years and four months for the refrigerator to pay for itself.
Step-by-step explanation:
The new refrigerator which costs $1200, saves the family 22% annually in energy cost.
Since the old refrigerator costs $580 to run, we want to determine how many years it will take for 22% of $580 per year to make $1200.
22% of $580
= 580 × 0.22
= 127.6
That is, it saved then $127.6 per year.
Now,
$1200/127.6
≈ 9.4
Which means, it will take 9 years and 4 months for the refrigerator to pay for itself.
Answer:
A) The model exists: f(x) = -3x^2 +4x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic model will always exist for 3 given points, provided they are not on a line. In that case, a linear model is appropriate.
Here, the slope between -1 and 0 is positive, and the slope between 0 and 3 is negative. Thus, we know these points are not collinear, and a model must exist.
The model is most easily found using a quadratic regression tool. Such is shown in the attachment. It tells us that ...
f(x) = -3x^2 +4x -4
