Which of the following is an example of a function
whose graph in the xy-plane has no x-intercepts?
A) A linear function whose rate of change is not
B) A quadratic function with real menos
© A quadratic function with no real xeros
D) A cubic polynomial with at least one real zero

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

A function goes trough the x-axis when f(x) = 0 for some value of x.

For example, when we say that a quadratic function has no real zeros, this means that the determinant is less than zero, so the roots of the equation:

a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

are complex roots, this means that for the function:

f(x) = y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

there is not a real number x such f(x) = 0

So the correct option is C.

∞ this is your sign

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
