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.
Write the correct equation. Direct variation problems are solved using the equation y = kx. When dealing with word problems, you should consider using variables other than x and y, you should use variables that are relevant to the problem being solved. Also read the problem carefully to determine if there are any other changes in the direct variation equation, such as squares, cubes, or square roots.
By setting up a system of equations we can easily solve this problem. Let's denote Jane's working hours with x and Jack's working hours with y. Since they don't want to work more than 65 hours, the first equation is x+y=65. The second equation is 14x+7y=770. By solving this system of equation
, we find that y=20 hours, which is Jack's maximum working hours.
Answer:
a = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
given x = - 1 is a zero then f(- 1) = 0 , that is
a(- 1)³ - (- 1)² - 1 + 4 = 0
- a - 1 - 1 + 4 = 0
- a + 2 = 0 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
- a = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
a = 2
Answer:
he will have to go one more week and all together it would be five weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
16/4=4
you need four more to get to 20, and if he does 4 quizzes a week he only needs one more week.
