Answer: both the left and right sides go to +∞
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
End behavior can be determined by two things:
- Sign of the leading coefficient
- Degree of the function
<u>Sign of leading coefficient</u>:
positive: right side goes to +∞
negative: right side goes to -∞
⇒ Leading coefficient of this function is 3 so the right side goes to +∞
<u>Degree (exponent of leading coefficient)</u>:
even: both the left and right sides point in the SAME direction
odd: the left and right sides point in OPPOSITE directions
⇒ Degree of this function is 4 so the left side will point in the same direction as the right side.
Answer:
First you have to multiply negative four in parentheses, then add minus two
-4×(-8+3x)=32-12x
2+32-12x=34-12x
34-12x=82
-12x=48
x=-4
Answer:
An elephant
Step-by-step explanation:
2.86 tons is the weight of an elephant.
Answer:
25150
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to see that this is an arithmetic sequence... since to get the next element we add 5 to it. (a geometric sequence would be a multiplication, not an addition)
So, we have a, the first term (a = 4), and we have the difference between each term (d = 5), and we want to find the SUM of the first 100 terms.
To do this without spending hours writing them down, we can use this formula:

If we plug in our values, we have:

S = 50 * (8 + 495) = 50 * 503 = 25150
D. because for every hour it goes down 5 degrees and since there is a 1 hour gap in between 7 am and 9 am
