I don't see a mistake. You solve in parentheses first, then you solve exponents. If the exponent is 0 in this context, the answer would be 0.
A) part of it is decreasing, part of it is increasing.
Going left-to-right, the downhill/negative slope is the decreasing portion (x<-1) and the uphill/positive slope is the increasing portion (x>-1).
B) The x-intercepts are the points where the graph intersects the x-axis: (2,0) and (-4,0).
C: The y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis: (0,-2).
D: There is no absolute maximum. The graph keeps going up forever.
E: The absolute minimum <u>point</u> is at that bottom, at (-1, -3). The absolute minimum <u>value</u> is -3, since that's the lowest y-value used.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
This function corresponds to 'even' function, then
in order to calculate the 'x' of the vertex: (3+9)/2=6.
The equation in slope-intercept is y=0.625x+7.
y = mx + b
where:
m is the slope of the line
b is the y-intercept of the line
The slope m of the line through any two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by:
The y-intercept b of the line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis. Since for point (x1, y1) we have y1 = mx1 + b, the y-intercept b can be calculated by:
b = y1 - mx<span>1. hope that helped</span>
