Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your graph of f(x)= $x^2$ is the parent function. What you need to know for this graph what the stretch or compression is and what the flip is. When you flip somehting over the x-axis, which is g(x), your $x^2$ is negative. Also, since your graph gets skinnier, the number before the x would be a whole number, with no fractions. The only answer that fulfills this is answer choice D.

Suppose cos(x)= -1/3, where π/2 ≤ x ≤ π. What is the value of tan(2x). EDGE

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

$\displaystyle \cos x = -\frac{1}{3}\text{ where } \pi /2 \leq x \leq \pi$

And we want to find the value of tan(2<em>x</em>).

Note that since <em>x</em> is between π/2 and π, it is in QII.

In QII, cosine and tangent are negative and only sine is positive.

We can rewrite our expression as:

$\displaystyle \tan(2x)=\frac{\sin(2x)}{\cos(2x)}$

Using double angle identities:

$\displaystyle \tan(2x)=\frac{2\sin x\cos x}{\cos^2 x-\sin^2 x}$

Since cosine relates the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse and we are given that cos(<em>x</em>) = -1/3, this means that our adjacent side is one and our hypotenuse is three (we can ignore the negative). Using this information, find the opposite side:

$\displaystyle o=\sqrt{3^2-1^2}=\sqrt{8}=2\sqrt{2}$

So, our adjacent side is 1, our opposite side is 2√2, and our hypotenuse is 3.

From the above information, substitute in appropriate values. And since <em>x</em> is in QII, cosine and tangent will be negative while sine will be positive. Hence:

<h2> $\displaystyle \tan(2x)=\frac{2(2\sqrt{2}/3)(-1/3)}{(-1/3)^2-(2\sqrt{2}/3)^2}$ </h2>

Simplify:

$\displaystyle \tan(2x)=\frac{-4\sqrt{2}/9}{(1/9)-(8/9)}$

Evaluate:

$\displaystyle \tan(2x)=\frac{-4\sqrt{2}/9}{-7/9} = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{7}$

The final answer is positive, so we can eliminate A and B.

We can simplify D to:

$\displaystyle \frac{2\sqrt{8}}{7}=\frac{2(2\sqrt{2}}{7}=\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{7}$

So, our answer is D.

Suppose an oligopoly consists of two firms. Firm A lowers price and Firm B responds by lowering its price by the same amount. If

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The profits for firma A and B will decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oligopoly by definition "is a market structure with a small number of firms, none of which can keep the others from having significant influence. The concentration ratio measures the market share of the largest firms".

If the costs remain the same for both companies and both firms decrease the prices then we will have a decrease of profits, we can see this on the figure attached.

We have an equilibrium price (let's assume X) and when we decrease a price and we have the same level of output the area below the curve would be lower and then we will have less profits for both companies.
