Answer:
Analyzed and Sketched.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given 
To sketch the graph we need to find 2 components.
1) First derivative of y with respect to x to determine the interval where function increases and decreases.
2) Second derivative of y with respect to x to determine the interval where function is concave up and concave down.

is absolute maximum

is the point concavity changes from down to up.
Here, x = 0 is vertical asymptote and y = 0 is horizontal asymptote.
The graph is given in the attachment.
Answer:
17.) x = 3
18.) x = -5
I couldn't do 19.) and 20.) for you because there are weird symbols that I believe you mistakenly input. But I'm sure you now get the gist of how to solve such problems. Peace <3
Step-by-step explanation:
All you really have to do for all of the problems is substitute your value of "x" for the function.
17.) f(x) = 8x - 7; f(x) =17
17 = 8x -7 ---- substitute 17 for f(x), add 7 on both sides
24 = 8x ------ divide 8 on both sides
x = 3
18.) g(x) = -4x + 7; g(x) = 27
27 = -4x + 7 substitute 27 for g(x), subtract 7 on both sides
20 = -4x
x = -5
1.65
You can use a calculator or use long division
I would start by plugging in a number for x. Just any random number. Let's take 2 for example. Then the equation would go from 2x + y = -4, to 2(2) + y = -4. Then solve.
2(2) + y = -4
4 + y = -4, after you've done that, plug in a number for y, that completes the equation. In this case, the only acceptable number, would be -8. Because it completes the number sentence.
4 + (-8) = -4
-4 = -4.
Now plug in other numbers, to get the same outcome. Hope this helped!
