- Use the graph of f(x) to estimate the following. The x y-coordinate plane is given. The curve enters the window in the second quadrant, goes down and right becoming less steep, crosses the x-axis at x = −10, passes through the approximate point (−8, −11), changes direction at the point (−2, −25), goes up and right becoming more steep, crosses the y-axis at approximately y = −23, crosses the x-axis at x = 6, passes through the approximate point (8, 14), and exits the window in the first quadrant. (a) Estimate the vertex. (x, y) = (b) For what x values is the graph increasing? Write the answer using an inequality. x < −25 x > 2 x < −2 x > −2 x > −25 (c) For what x values is the graph decreasing? Write the answer using an inequality. x < −25 x < −2 x > −25 x > −2 x < 2 (d) Estimate the x-intercepts. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)

A graph has a horizontal t-axis with values from 0 to 14 and a vertical f(t)-axis with values from 0 to 2200. The graph contains a series of 15 points connected by line segments. The segments and the approximate points they connect are as follows. The segments start at (0, 1400), go up and right to (1, 1500), go up and right to (2, 1600), go up and right to (3, 1700), go up and right to (4, 1800), go up and right to (5, 1900), go down and right to (6, 1700), go down and right to (7, 1200), go down and right to (8, 800), go down and right to (9, 600), go up and right to (10, 700), go down and right to (11, 600), go up and right to (12, 700), go up and right to (13, 800), and go right to stop at (14, 800).

Use a graphing utility to approximate the coordinates of the peak or depression. h(x,y)=1−e^2−(x2+y2−5x) Approximate the coordinates of the peak or depression. There is a ▼ at . (Type an ordered pair. Round to one decimal place as needed.)arrow_forwardConsider the following graph. An S-shaped curve is graphed on the x y coordinate plane. It enters the viewing window at approximately (−3, −1.9), goes up and to the right, passes through the negative y-axis at approximately (0, −1.25), and continues up and right until it reaches the approximate point (0.7, −0.7). It then turns left but continues up, passes through the negative y-axis again at approximately (0, −0.1), passes through the negative x-axis at approximately (−0.2, 0), and continues left and up until it reaches the approximate point (−0.8, 0.8). It then turns to the right but continues up, passes through the positive y-axis at approximately (0, 1.3), and exits the right side of the viewing window at approximately (3, 1.8). Determine whether the curve is the graph of a function of x. If it is, state the domain and range of the function. (Enter your answers using interval notation.
