Which piece wise function is graphed below

Mathematics
1 answer:
AlekseyPX2 years ago

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is how to approach the problem:

We see that all our restrictions for all four answer choices are relatively the same with a couple of changes here and there.
One way to eliminate choices would be to look at which restrictions don't match the graph.

At x<-5, there is a linear function that does have a -2 slope and will intersect the x axis at -7. The line ends with an open circle, so any answer choice with a linear restriction of x less than or equal to -5 is wrong. This cancels out choices C and D.

Now we have two choices left.

For the quadratic in the middle, the vertex is at (-2,6) and the vertex is a maximum, meaning our graph needs to have a negative sign in front of the highest degree term. In our case, none of our quadratics left are in standard form, and instead are in vertex form.

Vertext form is f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k.

h being the x-coordinate of the vertex and k being the y-coordinate.

We know that the opposite of h will be the actual x-coordinate of the vertex, so if our vertex is -2, we will see x+2 inside the parenthesis. This leaves option A as the only correct choice.

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the diagram, we see that four angles are formed by the intersection of two lines. The angles highlighted in blue and green are therefore, vertical angles. We know that vertical angles have equal angle measures meaning that in this case, the measure of the blue angle is equal to the measure of the green angle. Using this, we can now solve for x:

7x+49=2x+94

7x-2x=94-49

5x=45

x=45/5

x=9

Any help I would really appreciate it
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

C and D

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell if equations have no solution if the variables on both sides of the equation are the same.

Choice C is 10+6x=15+9x-3x. You would combine 9x and -3x, turning the equation into 10+6x=15+6x. Since there is a 6x on both sides, Choice C would have no solution.

The same for Choice D. When you simplify everything there is a 3x on both sides, so it would have no solution.

Which shows the equation 3y – x = 6 written in slope-intercept form?
laila [671]
Slope intercept form : y = mx + b

3y - x = 6 ....add x to both sides
3y = x + 6 ...divide both sides by 3
y = x/3 + 2 <== slope intercept form
