On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative 8, negative 2), has a vertex at (negative 5, negative 6.5), goes through (negative 2, negative 2), and has a y-intercept at (0, 6). Over which interval is the graph of f(x) = one-halfx2 + 5x + 6 increasing?

(–6.5, ∞)
(–5, ∞)
(–∞, –5)
(–∞, –6.5)

false

step-by-step explanation:

whenever we assume a point on a plane then according to geometry it will definitely have 2 dimensions and if it assumed in space then it will have 3 dimensions.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

(a) x intercepts: -6 and 2

you can obtain these by solving the equation 0=x^2 +4x-12 using your favorite quadratic formula. but it is easy to verify -6 and 2 indeed satisfy this equation.

(b) y intercept: -12

this is obtained by setting x=0: 0^2+4*0-12 = -12

(c) the minimum value is: -16 (this is the vertex)

you can get the vertex by rewriting the equation into the form:

there is no global or local maximum as the function goes to infinity, so only in the limit sense: +infinity.

answer: the best estimate of the mean of the population = 14.

step-by-step explanation:

given: sheri surveyed eighty students, then generated three random samples of twenty-five student responses.

the sample mean=

⇒ the sample mean=

hence, the best estimate of the mean of the population = 14.
