DUE AT MIDNIGHT HEL What is the end behavior of the graph of f(x) = – 0.5x2 – 3x – 4?

A.
as x increases, f(x) increases;

as x decreases, f(x) decreases

B.
as x increases, f(x) decreases;

as x decreases, f(x) decreases

C.
as x increases, f(x) increases;

as x decreases, f(x) increases

D.
as x increases, f(x) decreases;

as x decreases, f(x) increases

saving = more money

step-by-step explanation:

if you have 100 bucks, and you want to buy a candy bar, even if you have one at home, if you choose not to buy it, you save.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
