If u(x) = -2x²+3 and v(x)=
X'
what is the range of (uv)(x)?
The answer is option D which is the range will be ( -∞, ∞ ).
What is the range?After substituting the domain, the range of a function is the entire set of all possible values for the dependent variable (often y).
Given function is
u(x) = -2x²+3 and v(x) = ( 1 / x ).
The product of the function will give uv(x).
uv(x) = (-2x²+3 ) x [tex]\dfrac{1}{x}[/tex]
uv(x) = [tex]\dfrac{-2x^2+3}{x}[/tex]
When we plot the graph of the function we found two opposite curved graphs and they are not intersecting at any point so the range will be from negative infinity to positive infinity. The graph of the function is attached with the answer below.
Therefore the answer is option D which is the range will be ( -∞, ∞ ).

The given statement is false.
What is the effect of a row operation on a determinant?
The factor by which a row operation intends to change the determinant is not equal to the determinant of the elementary matrix corresponding to that row operation. Rather, when a row is scaled up by a factor in a matrix, the determinant of that matrix also scales up by that factor.
Similarly, the factor by which a row operation changes the determinant is equal to the factor times the determinant of the elementary matrix corresponding to that row operation.

Need Help Fast!!!!!! The graph of the piecewise function f(x) is shown. f(x) What is the range of f(x)?
Answer:
The second option
Step-by-step explanation:
If you look at the graph, it appears that from negative infinity to 0, the line is just constant, so the range of that would simply be the constant value or in this case 4. from 0 to infinity it appears the line is decreasing at a constant rate and should go towards negative infinity as x goes towards infinity. So the range would be -infinity < f(x) <= 4

Answer:
$6847.955
Explanation:
Use the compound interest formula, but the value decreases over time.
[tex]\sf A = P(1 - \dfrac{r}{100} )^t[/tex]
where 'A' is final amount, r is rate, t is time
Inserting P = $15,000, r = 23, t = 3 years
[tex]\sf A = 15000(1- \dfrac{23}{100} )^3[/tex]
[tex]\sf A = 6847.995[/tex]
Hence the value of truck after three years will be $6847.955.

Answer:
The answer is incorrect because the slope formula was used incorrectly in step 1 (parentheses weren't used during the substitution and/or the wrong values were substituted).
y=4x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation we're looking for in slope intercept form looks like [tex]y=mx+b[/tex], where "m" is the slope, "b" is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept, and "x" and "y" are variables that have a certain mathematical relationship through this equation.
To find the equation itself, it usually is easier to find slope before finding the y-intercept.
Finding the slopeThere are many ways to represent slope (usually represented by the letter m), and while they all mean the same thing, they look different, some examples are shown below:
[tex]m=\frac{rise}{run} =\frac{\text{horizontal change}}{\text{vertical change}}=\frac{\Delta{y}}{\Delta{x}} =\frac{\text{change in }y}{\text{change in }x}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
For this problem, since we are given ordered pairs, probably the most useful version will be the last one:
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Substituting the values from the ordered pairs, it's important to remember that the ordered pairs are (x,y)... that the first coordinate is an x (and will go into the denominator, or bottom, of the fraction), and the second coordinate is a y (and will go into the numerator, or top of the fraction).
It actually doesn't matter which point we choose to be point 1, and which point we choose to be point 2. For the least amount of confusion, I choose the first point they gave to be point 1, and the second point they gave to be point 2.
So, [tex]\text{Point 1: } (1,-2)[/tex], and [tex]\text{Point 2: } (3,6)[/tex]
If I could give only one piece of advice, it would be "ANY time you substitute, use parentheses." You can always simplify later, but for the initial substitution, keep them (this is why the "mistake" happened in this problem, and is the thing we need to fix).
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{(6)-(-2)}{(3)-(1)}[/tex]
Simplifying...
[tex]m=\frac{(6)+(2)}{(3)-(1)}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{8}{2}[/tex]
[tex]m=4[/tex]
Thus, the equation we want in slope intercept form, with the new information we know plugged in, looks like this:
[tex]y=(4)x+b\\y=4x+b[/tex]
"b" is still the y-coordinate of the y-intercept (which we don't know yet), and "x" and "y" are variables related through this mathematical equation.
Finding the y-interceptWith "m" solved for, we can solve for the "b" by using the relationship in the equation we have so far.
We know that every "x" and "y" ordered pair is an "x" related to the "y" by this specific equation. Even though we don't know the specific value of "b", we know that the equation must be true for every ordered pair on the line.
While we don't know many associated "y" values and "x" values (for instance, we don't know what the "y" value is when the x is 10, and we don't know what the x value is the "y" is 26), we do know two associations for sure... from the two ordered pairs
[tex]\text{Point 1: } (1,-2)[/tex], and [tex]\text{Point 2: } (3,6)[/tex], so
[tex]x=1 \text{ is related to } y=-2[/tex], and [tex]x=3 \text{ is related to } y=6[/tex]
... and they're related through this equation that we've almost found!
Now, in our equation, there is only room to associate one x and y value at a time, so we need to pick one known association, and substitute those values in. Since this equation is supposed to relate the x to the y, it should be true for both points (so, we can try both, and it should work out the same. If you don't want to try both, if you see one ordered pair that has numbers that look easier, use that one):
Substituting Point 1 to find b
[tex]y=4x+b[/tex]
[tex](-2)=4(1)+b[/tex]
simplifying the right side, 4*1 is 4...
[tex](-2)=4+b[/tex]
subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation, and simplifying the left hand side
[tex]-2-4=b\\-2+-4=b\\-6=b[/tex]
Substituting Point 2 to find b (not necessary, but a good double-check)
[tex]y=4x+b[/tex]
[tex](6)=4(3)+b[/tex]
simplifying the right side, 4*3 is 12...
[tex]6=12+b[/tex]
subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation, and simplifying the left hand side
[tex]6=12+b\\6-12=b\\6+-12=b\\-6=b[/tex]
So, as a verification, we get the same value of b (which we should have, because this equation is supposed to work for every pair of (x,y) that has this relationship, and those were the only two points that we knew that did).
The Final equation in slope intercept formSubstituting the value we found for b:
[tex]y=4x+(-6)[/tex]
...and simplifying...
[tex]y=4x-6[/tex]

Which linear function is represented by the graph?
Of(x) = -2x + 1
Of(x)=x+1
O f(x) = x+1
Of(x)=2x+1
Answer: [tex]f(x)=-\frac{1}{2}x+1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is [tex]\frac{-1-1}{4-0}=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex], which matches the second option.
Linear function that is represented by the graph is f(x)= -1/2 x+1.
Here, we have,
From the graph,
y - intercept of the linear function is 1 , i.e. c = 1
and there are two points on the line (-4, 3), (4, -1)
We can get the equation of line by applying slope-intercept formula,
Slope of the line,
m = y₂ -y₁ / x₂-x₁
so, we get,
m = -1 -3 / 4 + 4
= -4/8
= -1/2
Now applying slope-intercept formula,
y = mx+c
Putting the values,
=> y = -1/2 x + 1
=>f(x) = -1/2 x + 1.
Therefore, linear function that is represented by the graph is
f(x) = -1/2 x + 1.

That is: f(x) = g(x)
And at x=-2, the y values are equal. So:

Answer all the questions
Tau decides to save money in the following ways:
He saves $ 1 in the first week $1.20 in the second week, $1.40 in the third week, and so on.
1) How much would he save in the nth week?
Answer:
1.00 + [(n - 1) × 0.20]
or
0.80 + [n × 0.20]
Step-by-step explanation:
week 1: 1.00
week 2: 1.20
week 3: 1.40
we could rewrite this as:
week 1: 1.00 + [0 × 0.20]
week 2: 1.00 + [1 × 0.20]
week 3: 1.00 + [2 × 0.20]
we can write this overall as:
week __ : 1.00 + [x × 0.20]
> x being the amount of weeks that have passed since week 1
but, we need to express this as in terms of nth, so, we need to figure out how the week is related to the x value
each week, we subtract 1 from the week number [to account for week 1]
so, we can write this as: 1.00 + [(n - 1) × 0.20]
or, we can backtrack from the first week, and start our counting at 0.80:
0.80 + [n × 0.20]
we can test this out:
(week 1)
1.00 + [(n - 1) × 0.20]
1.00 + [(1 - 1) × 0.20]
1.00 + [0 × 0.20]
1.00
or...
(week 1)
0.80 + [n × 0.20]
0.80 + [1 × 0.20]
0.80 + 0.20
= 1.00
So, nth week should be expressed as either:
1.00 + [(n - 1) × 0.20] or
0.80 + [n × 0.20]
(the second one is a little bit more simplified, but it depends on how you're supposed to write it)
hope this helps!!
