Find the domain of \(x\) in the expression. $$\sqrt{2 x^{2}-8}$$
Graphical Analysis (a) use a graphing utility to graph the equation, (b) use the graph to approximate any \(x\) -intercepts of the graph, (c) set \(y=0\) and solve the resulting equation, and (d) compare the result of part (c) with the \(x\) -intercepts of the graph. $$y=\sqrt{7 x+36}-\sqrt{5 x+16}-2$$
You want to determine whether there is a relationship between an athlete's weight \(x\) (in pounds) and the athlete's maximum bench-press weight \(y\) (in pounds). Sample data from 12 athletes are shown below. (Spreadsheet at LarsonPrecalculus.com) (165,170),(184,185),(150,200), (210,255),(196,205),(240,295), (202,190),(170,175),(185,195), (190,185),(230,250),(160,150) (a) Use a graphing utility to plot the data. (b) A model for the data is \(y=1.3 x-36\).Use the graphing utility to graph the equation in the same viewing window used in part (a). (c) Use the graph to estimate the values of \(x\) that predict a maximum bench- press weight of at least 200 pounds. (d) Use the graph to write a statement about the accuracy of the model. If you think the graph indicates that an athlete's weight is not a good indicator of the athlete's maximum bench-press weight, list other factors that might influence an individual's maximum bench-press weight.
Determine whether the statement is true or false. Justify your answer. The solution set of the inequality \(\frac{3}{2} x^{2}+3 x+6 \geq 0\) is the entire set of real numbers.
Find the inverse function. $$y=5 x+8$$
