URGENT! LAST QUESTION OF MY HW! I've reposted this multiple times but no one has answered, please leave an explanation if you know the answer. I will give Brainliest!

y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Any equation that's y=c (or any other constant) is a horizontal line. Imagine a parabola and a horizontal line plotted on a graph.

There are three possibilities of where the horizontal line can be:

It may not touch the parabola at all,

It may touch the parabola at one specific point (it's a tangent line)

Or it may touch the parabola at two points (it's a secant line)

The question prompt tells us that the horizontal line y=c touches the parabola at exactly one point; so for it not to touch two points it has to touch the parabola at the vertex point, right?

If we graph the parabola (or we could just look at the equation and it should be intuitive), we find out that the y-intercept is 5. In other words the point where the function reaches its maximum value (maxima) is at y=5.

For this reason, the value of c is 5 since if it was any value below that it would touch more than one point and if it was above it it wouldn't touch any point.

Here's an image so that it'll be a bit clearer hopefully:

Good luck!

let's add {f(x)=x+1}f(x)=x+1 and {g(x)=2x}g(x)=2x together to make a new function.

f(x)+g(x) =(x+1)+(2x)=x+1+2x=3x+1

let's call this new function hh. so we have:

{h(x)}={f(x)}+{g(x)}{=3x+1}h(x)=f(x)+g(x)=3x+1

we can also evaluate combined functions for particular inputs. let's evaluate function hh above for x=2x=2. below are two ways of doing this.

method 1: substitute x=2x=2 into the combined function hh.

h(x)

h(2)

​    

=3x+1

=3(2)+1

=7

​ since h(x)=f(x)+g(x)h(x)=f(x)+g(x), we can also find h(2)h(2) by finding f(2) +g(2)f(2)+g(2).

first, let's find f(2)f(2):

f(x)

f(2)

​    

=x+1

=2+1

=3

​  

now, let's find g(2)g(2):

g(x)

g(2)

​    

=2x

=2⋅2

=4

​  

so f(2)+g(2)=3+4=\greend7f(2)+g(2)=3+4=7.

notice that substituting x =2x=2 directly into function hh and finding f(2) + g(2)f(2)+g(2) gave us the same answer!

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.
