Solve the quadratic function by completing the square. What are the missing pieces in the steps?
-32 = 2(x2 + 10x)
-32+ = 2(x+ 10x + 25)
18 = 2(x + 5)2
9 = (x + 5)2
=x+5
x = -2 or x =

Given the parent function of [tex]f(x)=x^4[/tex], what change will occur when the function is changed to [tex]f(\frac{1}{2} x)[/tex]?

For each polynomial, determine the degree and write the polynomial in descending order. a. –4x^2 – 12 + 11x^4 b. 2x^5 + 14 – 3x^4 + 7x + 3x^3

Create a graph for the demand for starfish using the following data table: quantity/price of starfish quantity (x axis) of starfish in dozens price (y axis) of starfish per dozen 0 8 2 6 3 5 5 2 7 1 9 0 is the relationship between the price of starfish and the quantity demanded inverse or direct? why? how many dozens of starfish are demanded at a price of five? calculate the slope of the line between the prices of 6 (quantity of 2) and 1 (quantity of 7) per dozen. describe the line when there is a direct relationship between price and quantity.
