For part A, you simply add the two functions a(x) and b(x). The resulting function is then (a+b)(x) = 5x +2.

For part B, you multiply the functions a(x) and b(x). Using the FOIL method, we obtain, 6x^2 -24x + 20x - 80. Simplifying, we get, (a*b)(x) = 6x^2 -4x - 80.

For part C, you replace x in the function a(x) with the expression from b(x). This results to: a[b(x)] = 3(2x - 8) +10. Simplifying, a[b(x)] = 6x - 14.

Given h of x equals negative 2 times the square root of x minus 3 end root, which of the following statements describes h(x)?

MrMuchimi

Answer:

The function h(x) is decreasing on the interval (3, ∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

Please take a look at the attached image.

You will see a graph of the given function h(x) = -2 $\sqrt{x-3}$ . The function is decreasing.

The function starts at 3 and starts to go towards negative infinity on the x-axis. Therefore the function is decreasing on the interval (3, ∞).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A: Perpendicular lines have 1 solution. A is not the answer.

B: If the lines intersect, there is one solution, not many.

C: The lines are the same or can be reduced to being the same. C is the answer.

D: The lines don't intersect means that the lines are parallel. There isn't a solution.
