Answer:

g(-2) = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we're "evaluating g(-2)," that is, finding the value of the function g(x) when x = -2.

Substitute -2 for each instance of x in g(x) = 2x^2 + 7x - 4:

g(-2) = 2(-2)^2 + 7(-2) - 4 (be sure to use parentheses around -2)

or g(-2) = 2(4) - 14 - 4, or:

g(-2) = -10

Answer:

The function that models the scenario is given as follows;

$P(t) = \dfrac{500}{1 + 49 \cdot e^{-0.5 \cdot t}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The table of values are presented as follows;

The number of days, t, since the rumor started: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

The number of people, P, hearing the rumor: 10, 16, 26, 42, 66, 100

Imputing the given functions from the options into Microsoft Excel, and

$A = P(t) = \dfrac{250}{1 + 24 \cdot e^{-0.5 \cdot t}}$

$B = P(t) = \dfrac{500}{1 + 49 \cdot e^{-0.5 \cdot t}}$

$C = P(t) = \dfrac{750}{1 + 74 \cdot e^{-0.5 \cdot t}}$

$D = P(t) = \dfrac{1000}{1 + 99 \cdot e^{-0.5 \cdot t}}$

solving using the given values of the variable, t, we have;

P t A B ${}$ C D

10 ${}$ 0 ${}$ 10 ${}$ 10 ${}$ 10 ${}$ 10

16 ${}$ 1 ${}$ 16.07021 16.27604 16.34583 ${}$ 16.38095

26 ${}$ 2 ${}$ 25.43466 26.2797 26.574 26.72363

42 ${}$ 3 ${}$ 39.33834 41.89929 42.82868 43.30901

66 ${}$ 4 ${}$ 58.85058 65.51853 68.09014 69.45316

100 ${}$ 5 ${}$ 84.17395 99.55866 106.0177 109.5721

Therefore, by comparison, the function represented by $B = P(t) = \dfrac{500}{1 + 49 \cdot e^{-0.5 \cdot t}}$ most accurately models the scenario.

Answer:

The rational numbers are $\frac{11}{3}, 6.25, 0.01045,\sqrt{\frac{16}{81}},0.\bar{42}$ and the irrational functions are $\sqrt{48},\sqrt{\frac{3}{16}}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number can be expressed in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$ , where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0. For example $2,3.5,\frac{2}{5},...$ .

An irrational function can not be expressed in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$ , where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0. For example $\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3},\sqrt{5},...$ .
