Answer:

Domain:— [ x ≥ -2, x ≤ -3 ]

Range:— [ y ≥ 0 ]

Step-by-step explanation:

You may use graphing calculator to draw a graph and examine the graph’s domain and range. However, I’ll explain further about the graph of quadratic in a surd.

First, factor the quadratic expression in the surd:—

\displaystyle \large{f(x)=\sqrt{(x+3)(x+2)}}

We can find the x-intercepts by letting f(x) = 0.

I’ll be separating in two parts — one for finding x-intercept and one for finding y-intercept.

__________________________________________________________

Finding x-intercepts

Let f(x) = 0.

\displaystyle \large{0=\sqrt{(x+3)(x+2)}}

Solve for x, square both sides:—

\displaystyle \large{0^2 = (\sqrt{(x+3)(x+2)})^2}\\\displaystyle \large{0=(x+3)(x+2)}

Simply solve a quadratic equation:—

\displaystyle \large{x=-3,-2}

Therefore, x-intercepts are:—

\displaystyle \large{\boxed{x=-3,-2}}

__________________________________________________________

Finding y-intercept

Let x = 0.

\displaystyle \large{f(x)=\sqrt{(0+3)(0+2)}}\\\displaystyle \large{f(x)=\sqrt{3 \cdot 2}}\\\displaystyle \large{f(x)=\sqrt{6}}

Therefore, y-intercept is:—

\displaystyle \large{\boxed{\sqrt{6}}}

__________________________________________________________

However, I want you to focus on x-intercepts instead. We know that the square root only gives you a positive value. That means the range of function can only be y ≥ 0.

For domain, first, we have to know how or what the graph looks like. You can input the function in a graphing calculator as you’ll see that when x ≥ -2, the graph heads to the right while/when x ≤ -3, the graph heads to the left. This means that the lesser value of x-intercept gets left and more value get right.

See, between -3 < x < -2, there is no curve, point or anything between the interval. Therefore, -3 < x < -2 does not exist in function.

Hence, the domain is:—

x ≥ -2, x ≤ -3

Mark has $16 to buy lunch for himself and his sister. He wants to buy at least one sandwich and one bag of chips. Sandwiches cos
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Victor runs a small sandwich shop. He decides to start offering bags of chips to his customers. He finds a supplier where he can buy chips for $0.30 per bag. Victor needs to determine how much to charge for the chips at his shop. He does some research by talking to other nearby sandwich shop owners. The table below shows their sales per week for two different prices. (The values are: 150 bags sold, for $1.00 per bag, and 350 bags sold, for $0.50 per bag.) Victor believes that there is a linear relationship between the number of bags sold and the price. Victor wants to price the bags of chips so that he will maximize his profits. Determine the price Victor should charge for a bag of chips. Use the equation P(x)=R(x)-C(x), where P(x) represents profit, R(x) represents revenue, and C(x) represents cost. Each is a function of the number of bags of chips sold, x. Round your answer to the nearest nickel.

What is the solution of the system? Use substitution.
nekit [7.7K]
Substituting y=6x+2 into equation 3y - 18x =12 looks like:

3(6x + 2) - 18x = 12
18x + 6 - 18x = 12  distributive property left side
6 = 12  simplifying the left side

We now see a contradiction:   6 does not equal 12  What this tells us is that there is no solutions to this equation.  So choice 'C' ...
