The figures show the graphs of two functions. y y 201 10- .... -20- flx) = x³ glx) = -0.3x + 4x + 2arrow_forwardIn Exercises 20–21, solve each rational equation. 11 20. x + 4 + 2 x2 – 16 - x + 1 21. x? + 2x – 3 1 1 x + 3 x - 1 ||arrow_forwardFor Exercises 115–120, factor the expressions over the set of complex numbers. For assistance, consider these examples. • In Section R.3 we saw that some expressions factor over the set of integers. For example: x - 4 = (x + 2)(x – 2). • Some expressions factor over the set of irrational numbers. For example: - 5 = (x + V5)(x – V5). To factor an expression such as x + 4, we need to factor over the set of complex numbers. For example, verify that x + 4 = (x + 2i)(x – 2i). 115. а. х - 9 116. а. х? - 100 117. а. х - 64 b. x + 9 b. + 100 b. x + 64 118. а. х — 25 119. а. х— 3 120. а. х — 11 b. x + 25 b. x + 3 b. x + 11arrow_forward

(See Examples 4-5) 37. f(х) — — 2х + 5 38. f(x) = -3x + 8 39. f(x) = -5x² – 4x + 2 40. f(x) = -4x - 2x + 6 41. f(x) = x' + 5 42. f(x) = 1 43. f(x) = 1 44. f(x) = x + 2arrow_forward
- In Exercises 126–129, determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. 126. Once a GCF is factored from 6y – 19y + 10y“, the remaining trinomial factor is prime. 127. One factor of 8y² – 51y + 18 is 8y – 3. 128. We can immediately tell that 6x? – 11xy – 10y? is prime because 11 is a prime number and the polynomial contains two variables. 129. A factor of 12x2 – 19xy + 5y² is 4x – y.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 31–32, each function is defined by two equations. The equation in the first row gives the output for negative numbers in the domain. The equation in the second row gives the output for nonnegative numbers in the domain. Find the indicated function values.
