1.0010353034
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The leading term is 2x^7. Since n is odd and a is positive, the end behavior is down and up.
1) Factor out the coefficient 2: 2x^2+12x=4 => 2(x^2 + 6x) = 4
2) Complete the square of x^2 + 6x: x^2 + 6x + 9 - 9. Then:
2(x^2 + 6x + 9 - 9) = 4
3) Rewrite the square as the square of a binomial:
2( [x+3]^2 - 9) = 4, or
2([x+3]^2) = 22, or
2( [x+3]^2 ) - 22 = 0
The value of q is -22.
Your insight that the function values differ by 5 every time is very important. So your f(x) will contain 5x as a term. You have to find a constant to add or subtract to make sure f(1)=-2.
f(x) = 5x-7 does the job.
The answer is either A or D, B and C are off the table because the two shapes need to be graphed for those to be relevant. The answer you get should be A I believe.
