QUICK HELP! PLEASE! Based on the table, which best predicts the end behavior of the graph of f(x)? As x → ∞, f(x) → ∞, and as x → –∞, f(x) → ∞. As x → ∞, f(x) → ∞, and as x → –∞, f(x) → –∞. As x → ∞, f(x) → –∞, and as x → –∞, f(x) → ∞. As x → ∞, f(x) → –∞, and as x → –∞, f(x) → –∞

What is the expression in factored form? 3x^2 + 18x + 24 a. 3(x+2)(x+4) b. 3(x-2)(x+4) c. 3(x-2)(x-4) d. 3(x+2)(x-4)

Prove (a) cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = 1 and (b) 1 − tanh 2(x) = sech 2(x). solution (a) cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = ex + e−x 2 2 − 2 = e2x + 2 + e−2x 4 − = 4 = . (b) we start with the identity proved in part (a): cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = 1. if we divide both sides by cosh2(x), we get 1 − sinh2(x) cosh2(x) = 1 or 1 − tanh 2(x) = .
