Which of the following graphs could be the graph of the function f(x)=-0.08x(x^2-11x+18)?

option C

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=-0.08x(x^2-11x+18)

Factor the parenthesis and find out the x intercepts

(x^2-11x+18)

We find out two factors whose product is 18 and sum is -11

-9  and -2 gives us product 18

-9  -2 gives us sum -11

(x^2-11x+18) =(x-9)(x-2)

f(x)=-0.08x(x^2-11x+18)

f(x)= -0.08x(x-9)(x-2)

set f(x) =0  and solve for x

-0.08x(x-9)(x-2) =0

-0.08x =0, so x=0

x-9 = 0 , so x=9

x-2 =0 , so x=2

x intercepts are (0,0) (2,0)  and (9,0)

x intercepts are not repeating

so the graph crosses x -axis at x=0, 2,9

option C is correct

The graph is attached below4

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
