Answer:
- max for 5th-degree: 4 turns. This function: 2 turns.
- max for 7th-degree: 6 turns. This function: 0 turns.
Step-by-step explanation:
In general, the graph of an n-th degree function can make n-1 turns. However, in specific cases, the number of turns is limited by the number of real zero-crossings of the derivative.
__
1. This 5th-degree function can have at most 4 turns. However, the derivative, f'(x) = 5x^4 -3, has only two (2) real zeros. Hence the graph of this function can only have 2 turns.
__
2. This 7th-degree function can have at most 6 turns. However, the derivative, f'(x) = -7x^6 -35x^4-12x^2, has an even-multiplicity root at x=0 only. The derivative never crosses 0. Hence the graph makes no turns.
Answer:
The correct option is 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parent function is

1. Domain of the function is all positive real number including 0.
2. Range of the function is all positive real number including 0.
3. It is an increasing function. It increases at decreasing rate.
First graph increase at decreasing rate and it starts from (-4,-1), therefore the required function is

Therefore graph 1 is an example of a function whose parent graph is of the form y = √x.
Second graph is a parabola, so it is the graph of a quadratic function.
Third graph is a rectangular hyperbola, so it is the graph of a rational functions.
Fourth graph is increasing at increasing rate, so it is the graph of an exponential function.
Therefore options 2, 3 and 4 are incorrect.
Answer:
<u>Cost = 25 + 50h</u>
cost for 8 hours of work = $425
cost for 10 hours of work = $525
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is as following:
A plumber charges $25 for a service call plus $50 per hour of service write an equation to represent the cost of hiring this plumber.
what will be the cost for 8 hours of work? 10 hours of work?
=======================================================
A plumber charges $25 for a service call plus $50 per hour
<u>Cost = 25 + 50h</u>
Where h is the number of hours of service
8 hours of work: h = 8
Substitute with h = 8 at the equation of cost
<u>Cost = 25 + 50* 8 = $425</u>
10 hours of work: h = 10
Substitute with h = 10 at the equation of cost
<u>Cost = 25 + 50 * 10 = $525</u>
