?. The regular price of a pair of jeans is \(x\) dollars. Let \(f(x)=x-5\) and \(g(x)=0.6 x\) a. Describe what functions \(f\) and \(g\) model in terms of the price of the jeans. b. Find \((f \circ g)(x)\) and describe what this models in terms of the price of the jeans. c. Repeat part (b) for \((g \circ f)(x)\) d. Which composite function models the greater discount on the jeans, \(f \circ g\) or \(g \circ f ?\) Explain.
Complete the square and write the equation in standard form. Then give the center and radius of each circle and graph the equation. $$x^{2}+y^{2}+x+y-\frac{1}{2}=0$$
a. Graph the functions \(f(x)=x^{n}\) for \(n=2,4,\) and 6 in a [-2,2,1] by [-1,3,1] viewing rectangle. b. Graph the functions \(f(x)=x^{n}\) for \(n=1,3,\) and 5 in a [-2,2,1] by [-2,2,1] viewing rectangle. c. If \(n\) is positive and even, where is the graph of \(f(x)=x^{n}\) increasing and where is it decreasing? d. If \(n\) is positive and odd, what can you conclude about the graph of \(f(x)=x^{n}\) in terms of increasing or decreasing behavior? e. Graph all six functions in a [-1,3,1] by [-1,3,1] viewing rectangle. What do you observe about the graphs in terms of how flat or how steep they are?
Explaining the Concepts: If equations for two functions are given, explain how to obtain the quotient function and its domain.
Use a graphing utility to graph each function. Use \(a[-5,5,1]\) by [-5,5,1] viewing rectangle. Then find the intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant. $$f(x)=x^{3}-6 x^{2}+9 x+1$$
