Function h is a transformation of the parent exponential function. Which statement is true about this function?




As x approaches positive infinity, approaches 0.

As x approaches negative infinity, approaches positive infinity.

As x approaches positive infinity, approaches positive infinity.

As x approaches negative infinity, approaches negative infinity.

Answers

Answer 1

The statement that is true about this function is C. As x approaches positive infinity, h(t) approaches positive infinity

Calculations and Parameters

Given that we have:

The domainThe rangeThe function

Therefore, when x approaches to negative infinity,

[tex]\lim_{x \to \infty} h(x)[/tex]

= 2^(-∞-5)

= 2^(-∞)

= 1/2^∞

=0

Also, as x approaches negative infinity, function h(x) approaches 0.

Then when x approaches to positive infinity,

[tex]\lim_{x \to \infty} h(x)[/tex]

2^(∞-5)

= 2^(∞)

= ∞

Therefore, As x approaches positive Infinity, h(x) approaches positive infinity.

The measure of angle N is (3x + 18) degrees . The measure of angle B is (2x + 142) degrees. If angle N is the supplement of angle B, what is the measure of the two angles?

Answers

Answer:

N: 30 B:150

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add up to 180 meaning their equations must also add up to 180:

(3x + 18) + (2x + 142) = 180

Solve for x:

5x + 160 = 180

5x = 20

x = 4

Substitute 4 in all values of x to obtain the measure of the two angles:

N: 3(4) + 18 = 30

B: 2(4) + 142 = 150

Which statement describes the quadratic inequality in factored form that represents the relationship greater than or equal to the quadratic equation containing the point (6, -8) on the boundary and zeros -4 and 10?

Answers

In the equation given, the quadratic inequality  that shows the relationship above is: option B. y ≥ 0.2(x + 4)(x - 10).

What is the quadratic inequality about?

Note that a quadratic function exist in factored form is as:

y = a(x - a)(x - b)

The zeros of the equation is seen at x = (-4, 10)

Therefore, one need to write an expression for the quadratic inequality and so it will be:

y ≥ a(x - a)(x - b)    

Also note that at At point (6, -8), we also have:

-8 = a(6 - (-4))(6 - 10)  

-8 = a(6 + 4)(6 - 10)

-8 = a(10)(-4)

-8 = -a(40)

a = 0.2.

Therefore, In the equation given, the quadratic inequality  that shows the relationship above is: option B. y ≥ 0.2(x + 4)(x - 10).

2. Find the range of the given function y = 8x + 1, where x > 2
3. Find the range of the given function y = 5x + 2, where x > -2


can someone explain how to do these?

Answers

1. The range of the given function y = 3x² for the given domain: {- 2, - 1, and 0} is {12, 3, 0}.

2. The range of the given function y = 8x + 1, where x > 2 is (17, ∞).

3. The range of the given function y = 5x + 2, where x > -2 is (- 8, ∞).

We know that the range of a function is the entire set of all possible values for the dependent variable (typically y), after substituting the domain.

1. For the function y = 3x²,

Here the domain is {- 2, - 1, and 0}. So, we have to find the y values for the x values - 2, - 1, and 0 to find the range of the function.

Now, at x = - 2,

y = 3(- 2)² = 3 × 4 = 12

At x = - 1,

y = 3(- 1)² = 3 × 1 = 3

At x = 0,

y = 3(0)² = 3 × 0 = 0

So, the range of this function is {12, 3, 0}.

2. Now, for the function y = 8x + 1,

At x = 2,

y = 8 × 2 + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17

Since the domain is x > 2, we can say that the range set will contain values greater than 17.

So, the range of this function is (17, ∞).

3. For the function y = 5x + 2,

Now, at x = - 2,

y = 5 × (- 2) + 2 = - 10 + 2 = - 8

Since the domain is x > - 2, we can say that the range set will contain values greater than - 8.

So, the range of this function is (-8, ∞).

1. Therefore, the range of the given function y = 3x² for the given domain: {- 2, - 1, and 0} is {12, 3, 0}.

2. The range of the given function y = 8x + 1, where x > 2 is (17, ∞).

3. The range of the given function y = 5x + 2, where x > -2 is (- 8, ∞).

What is the equation of a line?

A line is a one-dimensional shape that is straight, has no thickness, and extends in both directions indefinitely. The equation of a line is given by,

y =mx + c

where,

x is the coordinate of the x-axis,

y is the coordinate of the y-axis,

m is the slope of the line, and

c is the y-intercept.

The given data points are in a linear relation, therefore, if we find the slope of the line on which these data points will be located. Then the slope will be,

m = (17-5)/(2+2) = 3

Now, equate any point and the slope in the general equation of line, therefore, the equation will be,

y = 3x + c

17 = 3(2) + c

17 - 6 = c

c = 11

Further, the value of f(x) when the value of x is 9 will be,

f(x) = 3x + 11

f(9) = 3(9) + 11

f(9) = 38

Hence, the value of f(x) when the value of x is 9 is 38.
