Solution
Let's go step by step and analyze the function given in the image:
The function is:
Point of Origin:
The image gives the point of origin as (-5, 3), so we can check this by plugging into the equation: But the square root of a negative number does not result in a real number. Hence, the function is not defined for . There seems to be an issue with the point of origin.
Domain:
The function involves a square root, which means the expression inside the square root, , must be greater than or equal to zero for real numbers. Hence: So the domain is [5, ∞), not [-3, ∞).
Range:
The function is of the form , which means it will start at and then decrease because the square root term increases as increases, and the coefficient of makes the overall function decrease. Thus, the range is (-∞, 3], as the function decreases towards negative infinity but never goes above 3.
y-intercept:
Since the function is not defined for , there is no y-intercept for this function.
Min/Max value:
The function has a maximum value at because the square root starts at 0, and it increases negatively, leading to the maximum of 3 at .
Increasing/Decreasing Interval:
Since the square root term always increases, and with the negative coefficient, the entire function is decreasing from onward. Thus, the function is decreasing on the interval [5, ∞).
Summary of Correct Answers:
- Point of Origin: Not valid for (-5, 3)
- Domain: [5, ∞)
- Range: (-∞, 3]
- y-intercept: N/A
- Min/Max value: Maximum at x = 5
- Inc/Dec Interval: Decreasing on the interval [5, ∞)
