Answer: Answer is in the steps..
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)= - 3x -5
A) To find the x intercepts of a parabola we have to set the whole equation equal zero because the x intercept is when y equal zero in other words where f(x) equal zero.
- 3x - 5 = 0 Now solve using quadratic formula.
x = -b±
x = 3 ±
x = 3 ± / 2a
x= 3 ± 7 /4
x= -1 or x = 5/2
The x intercepts are (5/2,0) and (-1,0)
B) The graph vertex of the graph of f(x) is going to be at a minimum because the leading coefficient of the function has a positive integer which means the parabola will open up and its vertex will be at the minimum point.
Using the x coordinates we could find their average and find the x coordinate of the vertex.
=
= 3/4
The x coordinate of the vertex is 3/4 so we will input that into the equation and solve for the y coordinate
= 18/16 - 9/4 -5 = -49/8
The y coordinate of the vertex is -49/8
So the vertex is (3/4, -49/8)
C) First I will graph the vertex and then graph he two x intercepts and connect then like a U shape.
As we already have the model that describes the change of the population in Italy in terms of the years that have elapsed, we only have to replace the conditions that are requested in that equation.
Therefore to find the population of Italy in the year 2000 (t = 10 years) substitute t = 10 in the equation and have:
million people
To find the population of Italy in 2008 (t = 18 years)
substitute t = 18 in the equation and have:
million people
To predict the population in Italy for 2015 and 2020 with this model, we substitute in the equation t = 25 and t = 30
t = 25
million people
t = 30
million people
