Answer:

in order by function: 0.6, 8, 7/3, 2, 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions are given in the form ...

f(x) = a·b^x

The "b" value is the value immediately to the left of the exponent. (It's not rocket science; it's pattern matching.) Note that the minus sign in g(x) is part of 'a', not part of 'b'.

From the top-down, the functions listed on the left have the b-values shown above.

A square has an area of 81 square inches. What is its perimeter?

disa [49]

Area of square = $s^2$ where, $s$ is the side length of the square.

$81=s^2$

$9=s$

s must be positive since it is a side length, so the negative root of 81 is rejected.

Perimeter= $4s$

Perimeter= $4(9)=36inches$

Question 14 of 25What is the complete factorization of the polynomial below?x³+x² + 4x+4O A. (x-1)(x+2)(x+2)B. (x + 1)(x + 2)(x

mote1985 [20]

GIVEN:

We are given the following polynomial;

$x^3+x^2+4x+4$

Required;

We are required to factorize this polynomial completely.

Step-by-step explanation;

To factorize this polynomial, we start by grouping;

$(x^3+x^2)+(4x+4)$

We now take the common factor in each group;

$\begin{gathered} x^2(x+1)+4(x+1) \\ \\ (x^2+4)(x+1) \end{gathered}$

Next, we factorize the first parenthesis. To do this we set the equation equal to zero and solve for x as follows;

$\begin{gathered} x^2+4=0 \\ \\ Subtract\text{ }4\text{ }from\text{ }both\text{ }sides: \\ \\ x^2=-4 \\ \\ Take\text{ }the\text{ }square\text{ }root\text{ }of\text{ }both\text{ }sides: \\ \\ x=\pm\sqrt{-4} \\ \\ x=(\pm\sqrt{-1}\times\sqrt{4}) \\ \\ x=\pm2i \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the factors of the other parenthesis are;

$(x+2i)(x-2i)$

Therefore, the complete factorization of the polynomial is;

ANSWER:

$(x+1)(x+2i)(x-2i)$

Option C is the correct answer.

The first three steps in writing f(x) = 40x 5x2 in vertex form are shown. write the function in standard form. f(x) = 5x2 40x fa

Mkey [24]

The function f(x) = 5x² + 40x is a parabola. Then the vertex of the parabola will be at (–4, –80).

<h3>What is the parabola?</h3>

It is the locus of a point that moves so that it is always the same distance from a non-movable point and a given line. The non-movable point is called focus and the non-movable line is called the directrix.

The function f(x) = 5x² + 40x

Then add and subtract 80, then we have

f(x) = 5x² + 40x + 80 – 80

f(x) = 5(x² + 8x + 16) – 80

f(x) = 5(x + 4)² – 80

The vertex of the parabola will be at (–4, –80).

More about the parabola link is given below.

How do you solve a proof?

ziro4ka [17]

To solve a proof, you need to distinguish which is the hypothesis and which is the conclusion. The hypothesis is the starting point and the conclusion is the ending point. We go from hypothesis to conclusion. A conditional statement can be written as If A, then B. Where A is the hypothesis and B is the conclusion.

For example, take this theorem.

If two sides of a triangle<span> are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent.
</span>
We go from Two sides of a triangle are congruent to the angles opposite those sides are congruent.

The first statement's reason is pretty much always Given.

Statement | Reason
1. Two sides of a triangle are congruent 1. Given
.... After a bunch of steps
3. the angles opposite those sides are congruent. 3. Your postulate of definition of what reason you need to complete the last step.

Sorry if this is a little confusing.
