Answer:

c. f(x)=x(x+2)(x-1)(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Where it says "as x goes to negative infinity" then "y goes to infinity" (that's the part with the infinity symbols) that means the graph is going up at it's left end. This curve is a quartic (4th degree) which means its left and right ends are kind of parabola-ish, but the middle is not the neat u-ish, v-ish shape of a parabola; it's more like a wonky, noodle-ish wavy affair. Anyway, LIKE a parabola when the beginning of the equation is positive, the two ends point up. That's what's happening here and so we can eliminate b. and d. as potential answers.

Since -2, 0, 1, 4 are zeros (which are solutions...and also x-intercepts) we can find the factors of the function.

If x = -2

ADD 2 to both sides.

x + 2 = 0

This means (x+2) is a factor.

This is enough info to select answer c. but let's verify the other factors.

If x = 1

SUBTRACT 1 from both sides.

x - 1 = 0

Thus means (x - 1) is a factor.

If x = 4

SUBTRACT 4 from both sides.

x - 4 = 0

(x - 4) is a factor.

You can see c. has all these factors as well as x, because x=0 already, so x is a factor too.

I think of this as a working backwards problem, bc usually you have to factor and solve. This one, you have solutions (which are zeros and x-intercepts) and work backwards to find factors and multiply them together to find the function.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

$i(x)=12 \times (1+\frac{0.9}{12})^{12x}$ and growth rate factor is 0.075

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that models the population of iguanas in a reptile garden is given by $i(x)=12 \times (1.9)^{x}$ , where x is the number of years.

Since, $i(x)=12 \times (1.9)^{x}$

i.e. $i(x)=12 \times (1+0.9)^{x}$ .

Therefore, the monthly growth rate function becomes,

i.e. $i(x)=12 \times (1+\frac{0.9}{12})^{x \times 12}$ .

i.e. $i(x)=12 \times (1+\frac{0.9}{12})^{12x}$ .

Hence, the monthly growth rate is i.e. $i(x)=12 \times (1+\frac{0.9}{12})^{12x}$ .

Also, the growth factor is given by $\frac{0.9}{12}$ = 0.075.

Thus, the growth factor to nearest thousandth place is 0.075.

This object is made with five identical cubes. each cube edge if 4 centimeters long, What is the surface area of this object in

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

480 cm ^ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the surface area of the figure, we must calculate the surface area of the cube, we know that they are identical, therefore, calculating the area of one is sufficient.

We have that the surface area of a cube is:

A = 6 * a ^ 2

where a is the edge, we know that if it is a cube all its sides are equal, in this case it is 4 centimeters, if we replace we have:

A = 6 * (4 ^ 2)

A = 96

96 square centimeters is the area of a cube, but since the area of the object would be the sum of the area of all the cubes, then:

AT = 96 * 5

AT = 480 cm ^ 2

The surface area of the object formed with the cubes is 480 cm ^ 2

Six sophomores and 14 freshmen are competing for two alternate positions on the debate team. Which expression represents the pro

Elanso [62]

Answer:

<em>Choose the first alternative</em>

$\displaystyle P=\frac{_{1}^{6}\textrm{C}\ _{1}^{5}\textrm{C}}{_{2}^{20}\textrm{C}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probabilities</u>

The requested probability can be computed as the ratio between the number of ways to choose two sophomores in alternate positions $(N_s)$ and the total number of possible choices $(N_t)$ , i.e.

$\displaystyle P=\frac{N_s}{N_t}$

There are 6 sophomores and 14 freshmen to choose from each separate set. There are 20 students in total

We'll assume the positions of the selections are NOT significative, i.e. student A/student B is the same as student B/student A.

To choose 2 sophomores out of the 6 available, the first position has 6 elements to choose from, the second has now only 5

$_{1}^{6}\textrm{C}\ _{1}^{5}\textrm{C} \text{ ways to do it}$

The total number of possible choices is

$_{2}^{20}\textrm{C} \text{ ways to do it}$

The probability is then

$\boxed{\displaystyle P=\frac{_{1}^{6}\textrm{C}\ _{1}^{5}\textrm{C}}{_{2}^{20}\textrm{C}}}$
