The function f(x)= -(x+5)(x+1) is down. What is the range of the function?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

(-∞, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

"The function f(x)= -(x+5)(x+1) is down" should be "The function f(x)= -(x+5)(x+1) has a parabolic graph that opens down."

Expanding f(x)= -(x+5)(x+1), we get  f(x) = -[x^2 + 6x + 5] = -x^2 - 6x - 5.

Here the coefficients are a = -1, b = -6 and c = -5.  Thus, the axis of symmetry is

         -(-6)

x = ------------ = -3.  

        2(-1)

The maximum value of the function occurs  when x = -3.

We must also find the actual max value.  

It is f(-3) = -(-3)^2 - 6(-3) - 5, or 4.

The max value is 4.  Thus, the range of this function is (-∞, 4)

Which of the statements below correctly compares the numbers 4⁄5 and 6⁄8.4⁄5 = 6⁄8

4⁄5 > 6⁄8

4⁄5 < 6⁄8

Answers

The third option is correct because when you simplify 6/8 it is 3/4 and 3/4 is definetly bigger than 4/5.
First you have to make the fractions have like denominators to efficiently compare these fractions. 5 and 8 have a common denominator of 40, so you have to multiply top and bottom by 8 for 4/5 and by 5 for 6/8.
4/5 * 8/8 = 32/40
6/8 * 5/5 = 30/40
This shows that 4/5 is greater than 6/8. 4/5 > 6/8

I am needing to know the answer to 3/7 of what number is 9?

Answers

In math, "of" almost always means "times".

So your question is:  3/7 times (the number) = 9

Multiply each side of that equation by  7 :   3 times (the number) = 63

Divide each side by 3 :              The number = 21
The best thing to do is to find out what 1/7 is.
9/7= 1.28
1.28x3= 3.84
Therefore 3/7 of 9 is 3.84
Hope this helps :)
