An increasing curve passing through $$(0, 1)$$, $$(1, 3)$$, $$(2, 9)$$, and approaching $$y = 0 as$$ $$x 	o -\infty$$

Question 7

A graph is a sideways-opening parabola. Does it represent $$y as a $$function of $$x$$?

Accepted Answer

No, because some $$y-$$values correspond to more than one $$x-$$value.

Question 8

Solve the radical equation $$\sqrt{2x + 15} = x + 3.$$

Accepted Answer

$$x = 0$$

Question 9

Write the equation $$x^2$$ + $$y^2 - 6x + 8y + 9 = 0$ in standard form for a circle and state its center.

Accepted Answer

$$(x - 3)^2$ + (y + 4)^2$ = 4$$; center $$(3, -4)$$

Question 10

Find the distance between the points $$(5, 7)$$ and $$(-1, 4).$$

Accepted Answer

$$\sqrt{45}$$

Question 11

Solve by factoring: $$x^2 - 9x = 0$.

Accepted Answer

$$\{0, 9\}$$

Question 12

Write $$3^5 = y$ in logarithmic form.

Accepted Answer

$$\log_3$(y) = 5$$

Question 13

Solve using the quadratic formula: $$2x^2 + 4x + 10 = 0$.

Accepted Answer

$$x = -1 \pm 2i$$

Question 18

Solve the rational equation $$\frac{6}{x - 2} = 3 + \frac{2}{x - 2}$$, and state any restrictions.

Accepted Answer

$$x = 4$$, restriction: $$x 
eq 2$$

Question 19

A chemical reaction's temperature $$T (in$$ $$^ 5cc) is $$modeled by $$T = 10e$$^{0.2t}$$, where t$ is time in hours. After how many hours will the temperature reach 40$$^ 5cc$$? (Round to two decimals.)

Accepted Answer
