Check my answers to 3 questions? I will give a medal and fan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A function is shown in the table. x g(x) −2 2 −1 0 0 2 1 8 Which of the following is a true statement for this function? A. The function is decreasing from x = 0 to x = 1. B. The function is decreasing from x = −1 to x = 0. C. The function is increasing from x = 0 to x = 1. D. The function is increasing from x = −2 to x = −1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be c?

OpenStudy (lynfran):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C is correct...you can always think of it as a x,y chart if that helps.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok thank you to both of you! I have another question..

OpenStudy (lynfran):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Two quadratic functions are shown. Function 1: f(x) = 2x2 − 8x + 1 Function 2: x g(x) −2 2 −1 −3 0 2 1 17 Which function has the least minimum value and what are its coordinates? A. Function 1 has the least minimum value and its coordinates are (0, 1). B. Function 1 has the least minimum value and its coordinates are (2, −7). C. Function 2 has the least minimum value and its coordinates are (0, 2). D. Function 2 has the least minimum value and its coordinates are (−1, −3).

OpenStudy (lynfran):

fast way to know this is to input 0 into both equation to see its output so...

OpenStudy (lynfran):

when input 0 into function 1 we get f(0)=1 while g(0)=2 ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So A?

OpenStudy (lynfran):

yep

OpenStudy (lynfran):

yes function 1 ... when x=0 y=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, I was distracted...go back to the last problem please. with the 2 function, I disagree with A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I think its B, now that I look back at it @stacy.reed08

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@pflorido , that's what I got!

OpenStudy (lynfran):

how can it be B when they didnt give the x value of x=2 for g(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so looking at the chart I like to think of it as x,y instead of x, g(x). Based on the data given in the table, g(x) has a vertex at -1, -3, because x=-2 and x=0 have the same g(x) value. So the low point for g(x) is the vertex -1, -3

OpenStudy (lynfran):

\[f(x)=2(x)^{2}-8(x)+1\]when x=-2 f(-2)=25 and g(x)=2 for the g(x) part they didnt give the function but they state the function output for the given value of x...thats how i see that question...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Water coming out from a fountain is modeled by the function f(x) = −x2 + 8x + 2 where f(x) represents the height, in feet, of the water from the fountain at different times x, in seconds. What does the average rate of change of f(x) from x = 1 to x = 4 represent? a. The water travels an average distance of 3 feet from 1 second to 4 seconds. b. The water travels an average distance of 2 feet from 1 second to 4 seconds. c. The water rises up with an average speed of 3 feet per second from 1 second to 4 seconds. d. The water rises up with an average speed of 2 feet per second from 1 second to 4 seconds.

@LynFran it's really hard to explain on here, but here's my terrible drawing of g(x)...when you graph it, you can clearly see that -1,-3 is the vertex of the parabola....|dw:1439742811899:dw|
