the number of locally owned businesses in our town seems to be decreasing at a rate of 35 per year. If there are 860 locally owned businesses today, what number can we expect to have in 5 years?

685

Step-by-step explanation:

today: 860

in 1 year: 860 - 35 = 825

in 2 years: 825 - 35 = 790

in 3 years: 790 - 35 = 755

in 4 years: 755 - 35 = 720

in 5 years: 720 - 35 = 685

the answer is the option b

the range is all real numbers

step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the absolute value parent function is equal to

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

so

a. it is v-shaped > is true

b. the range is all real numbers > is not true

because the range is the > [0,∞)

all real numbers greater than or equal to zero

c. it goes through the origin > is true

d. the domain is all real numbers > is true

step-by-step explanation:

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
