If a(x) = 2x - 4 and b(x) = x + 2, which of the following expressions produces a quadratic function?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's examine option D momentarily. Calculating (a + b)x results in (2x - 4) + (x + 2) = 3x - 2, which is not a quadratic expression. Option C leads to the same outcome.

For option B, altering the numerator or denominator doesn't yield a quadratic expression.

The form (2x - 4)/(x + 2) cannot be manipulated to produce an x^2 term.

Therefore, option A remains.

Multiplying (2x - 4)(x + 2) gives 2x^2 + 4x - 4x - 8

which simplifies to 2x^2 - 8 after the middle terms cancel.

Despite the middle term elimination, the expression 2x^2 - 8 clearly remains quadratic.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct expression is ab(x).

Since ab(x) equals (2x - 4)(x + 2) which factors to 2(x - 2)(x + 2),

this simplifies to 2(x^2 - 4) and finally to 2x^2 - 8, forming a quadratic function.

I'm quite terrible at this aspect, so I'm merely making a guess.
X serves as the variable while x denotes the multiplication symbol.
X + (X x 3 - 1) + (X x 3 - 1) - 4) <span>≥ 45 is the outcome I arrived at.
The solution to that inequality is

Joaquin is four more than half Marjorie’s age. Marjorie is also 32 less than three times Joaquin’s age.
babunello [11817]

Answer:

Her age is 40 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jerry's age be represented as j

Let Marjorie's age be denoted as m

The first part of the question states:

j = 4 + m/2

For the second equation:

m = 3j - 32

Multiply the first equation by 2 to get:

2j = 8 + m

Leading to m = 2j - 8

Set both equations for m equal to each other:

2j - 8 = 3j - 32

By simplifying, we get:

3j - 2j = 32 - 8

Therefore, j = 24

Now substituting back:

m = 2j - 8

m = 2(24) - 8

Thus, m = 48 - 8

Final result: m = 40

Which shows the image of ΔRST after the rotation (x, y) → (y, –x)? On a coordinate plane, a triangle has points R (negative 2, 1
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

On a coordinate grid, a triangle is defined by the points R' (1, 2), S' (3, -1), T' (7, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can interpret the coordinates of the triangle's vertices as...

R(-2, 1), S(1, 3), T(-1, 7)

Applying the transformation (x, y) ⇒ (y, -x), these coordinates change to...

R'(1, 2), S'(3, -1), T'(7, 1) . . . . . (this corresponds to the first option)

A rectangle has area 25 m2. express the perimeter of the rectangle as a function of the length l of one of its sides. p(l) = sta
zzz [12365]
a) The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width:
   A = l·w

This formula allows us to express the width in terms of area and length. By dividing A by l, we find
   A/l = w

We also recognize that the perimeter of a rectangle is the total length around it.
   P = l + w + l + w
   P = 2(l + w)
We aim to rewrite the perimeter formula to isolate l on one side, using the expression for w derived earlier.
   P = 2(l + A/l)

By substituting the known value for A, we can express p(l) as
   p(l) = 2(l + 25/l)
   p(l) = 2l + 50/l


b)
For lengths exceeding widths, we have
   l > w
   l > A/l
   l² > A
   l > √A
   l > √25

This indicates that the domain of p(l) is
   l ∈ (5, ∞)..... meters
