<h3>
Answer: Negative</h3>
======================================================
Explanation:
3/7 = 0.42857 approximately
Pick a number between that value and 5, not including either endpoint. Let's say we pick x = 2
Plug x = 2 into the f(x) function
f(x) = (x - 5)(2x + 7)(7x-3)
f(2) = (2 - 5)(2*2 + 7)(7*2-3)
f(2) = (2 - 5)(4 + 7)(14-3)
f(2) = (-3)(11)(11)
f(2) = -363
The actual result doesn't matter. All we're after is whether the result is positive or negative. We see the result is negative. This means f(x) is negative when 3/7 < x < 5. The f(x) curve is below the x axis on this interval.
The relation is <em>not a function</em> if any x-value is repeated.
Assuming you have
(x, y) = (3, 10), (__, 20)
if x = 3, the relation is not a function.
Answer:
[8 -6 2 -4].
Step-by-step explanation:
[4 -4 0 0]+[4 -2 2 -4]
= [4+4 -4+-2 0+2 0+-4]
= [8 -6 2 -4]
