Answer:

f is increasing on interval (-infty, 13/4)

Inequality notation: x<13/4

In words: f is increasing on the interval of x that is less than 13/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

f is increasing on interval of x if f' of such interval is positive.

f=-2x^2+13x-8

Differentiate both sides

(f)'=(-2x^2+13x-8)'

Sum and difference rule:

f'=(-2x^2)'+(13x)'-(8)'

Constant multiple rule:

f'=-2(x^2)'+13(x)'-(8)'

Power rule (recall x=x^1):

f'=-2(2x^1)+13(1x^0)-(8)'

Constant rule:

f'=-2(2x^1)+13(1x^0)-(0)

Recall again x^1=x:

f'=-2(2x)+13(1x^0)-(0)

Recall x^0=1:

f'=-2(2x)+13(1×1)-(0)

Associative property of multiplication:

f'=-(2×2)x+13(1×1)-(0)

Performed grouped multiplication:

f'=-(4)x+13(1)-(0)

f'=-4x+13-(0)

Additive identity:

f'=-4x+13

f' is positive when -4x+13>0.

Subtract 13 on both sides:

-4x>-13

Divide both sides by -4:

x<-13/-4

x<13/4

f is increasing on interval (-infty, 13/4)

Given that r is the midpoint of qs and that the lenght of qr is 5.7, find the lenght of qs
ra1l [238]
We know that the midpoint is the a point in the center of the line (r). This means that from the midpoint to the endpoint (qr) is half the length of the overall line. This means that 5.7 (the length of qr) units is half the length of the line. Two halves make a whole so 5.7 × 2 = 11.4 units as the length of the entire line qs.
Hope this helps!

The table shows the linear relationship in a tank and time.
cluponka [151]
y = mx + b

y = slope (x) + y - intercept

To find the slope we need to find out how much the x's and y's increase or decrease...

To find the y - intercept if any, simply​ look for coordinates ( 0 , y ) or 0 and a #.

~~

In this case, as time passes, the water level decreases therefore we have a negative slope.

Time is our x and amount (ft) is our y.

On the x side it increases by 2

On the y side it decreases by 10

Now do y over x ==> 10 over 2 and get 5 ==> m

-5 is our slope and 50 is our y - intercept

~~

The "rate of change" is another word for slope.

Well, slope is - 5ft is our slope.

y = - 5x + 50

~~

I hope that helps you out!!

Any more questions, please feel free to ask me and I will gladly help you out!!

A bank loaned out $33,500, part of it at the rate of 12% annual interest, and the rest at 14% annual interest. The total interes
algol13

Answer:

  • $17,500 at 14%
  • $16,000 at 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount loaned at 14%. Then the total interest earned is ...

  0.14x +0.12(33,500 -x) = 4,370

  0.02x = 350 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4020 and simplify

  x = 17500 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.02

The amount loaned at 12% is $33,500 -17,500 = $16,000.

  $17,500 was loaned at 14%

  $16,000 was loaned at 12%

Given m \| nm∥n, find the value of x.
Dimas [21]

When two lines are parallel and a transversal is drawn, vertically opposite angles will be equal.

This means that x° and 62° are the same, indicating that the value of x is 62°.

Hope it helps. :)

Convert the given amount to the given unit 15 days;hours
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

360 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 15 days into hours, we need to find hours in a day. There are 24 hours in a day.

We can take 15 days/1 and multiply it by 24 hours/1 day, and we can cancel out the day units.

Then, we multiply 15 by 24 to get 360 hours.

Hope this helps
