Quick Guys! Coordinates: (-3,-2) (0,4) Y=2x+4 Linear Or Non Linear? Why?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Linear

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x + 4 is linear -- any equation involving only first powers of x and y (and constants) is linear. You'll usually see linear equations in the forms y = mx + b, ax + by = c, or y - y1 = m(x - x1).

If you take any two points, find the slope of the line between them, and then plug in one point to solve for the constant term (like you did), you will get a linear equation through those points.

Answer 2

Answer:

it is linear pair of the variable

That is not a function because it’s a straight line.

EXPLANATION:

The x value of a point where a vertical line intersects a function represents the input for the output y value. If we can draw any horizontal line that intersects a graph more than once, then the graph does not represent a function because that y value has more that one input.

The perimeter of the rectangle below is 94 units. Find the value of x.

Answers

Answer:

The value of x = 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is attached to this solution.

The perimeter of a rectangle is given as

P = 2 (L + B)

L = Length of the rectangle = 3x - 1

B = Breadth of the rectangle = 2x + 3

P = Perimeter of the rectangle = 94 units

94 = 2 [(3x - 1) + (2x + 3)]

3x - 1 + 2x + 3 = (94/2) = 47

5x + 2 = 47

5x = 47 - 2 = 45

5x = 45

x = (45/5) = 9 units

If w = -2 and v = -8, which of the following expressions shows the values correctly substituted in for the variables in the expression w2 - v + 1? A) -2 2 - (-8) + 1 B) -2 2 - 8 + 1 C) (-2) 2 - (8) + 1 D) (-2) 2 - (-8) + 1

Answers

Answer:

The answer is D.

Answer: D) (-2)*2 - (-8) +1

Step-by-step explanation:

w = -2.

so the w2 is equal to -2*2

v = -8

so -v + 1 = -(-8) + 1

Put it together and you get (-2)*2-(-8)+1

the parentheses are needed for the first -2 because other wise it'd be -(2*2) instead of (-2)*2

For the binomial expansion of (x + y)^10, the value of k in the term 210x 6y k is a) 6 b) 4 c) 5 d) 7

Answers

Answer:

a) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Expanding the polynomial using the formula:

[tex]$(x+y)^n=\sum_{k=0}^n \binom{n}{k} x^{n-k} y^k $[/tex]

Also

[tex]$\binom{n}{k}=\frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}$[/tex]

I think you mean [tex]210x^6y^4[/tex]

We can deduce that this term will be located somewhere in the middle. So I will calculate [tex]k= 5; k=6 \text{ and } k =7[/tex].

For [tex]k=5[/tex]

[tex]$\binom{10}{5} (y)^{10-5} (x)^{5}=\frac{10!}{(10-5)! 5!}(y)^{5} (x)^{5}= \frac{10 \cdot 9 \cdot 8 \cdot 7 \cdot 6 \cdot 5! }{5! \cdot 5 \cdot 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 1 } \\ =\frac{30240}{120} =252 x^{5} y^{5}$[/tex]

Note that we actually don't need to do all this process. There's no necessity to calculate the binomial, just [tex]x^{n-k} y^k[/tex]

For [tex]k=6[/tex]

[tex]$\binom{10}{6} \left(y\right)^{10-6} \left(x\right)^{6}=\frac{10!}{(10-6)! 6!}\left(y\right)^{4} \left(x\right)^{6}=210 x^{6} y^{4}$[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we want to do here is to break the expression into groups. This will help us factor out common terms, that will later be grouped - our resulting, factored expression.

x² + 6x - 27 - Break the expression into groups,

( x² - 3x ) + ( 9x - 27 ) - Factor out x from the expression " x² - 3x. " Respectively factor out 9 from the expression "  9x - 27. "

x( x - 3 ) + 9( x - 3 ) - Now this contains the shared expression " x - 3, " and hence can be broken down further through grouping.

[tex]\text{Domain of}R_2=\{-3,-1,0,3\}[/tex]  and [tex]\text{Range of}R_2=\{-1,0,1,2,3\}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is the set of input values or x-values.

Range is the set of output values or y-values.

According to the relation mapping diagram, the relation is

[tex]R_1=\{(-2,-3),(-2,-1),(0,0),(2,0),(4,-3)\}[/tex]

So,

[tex]\text{Domain of}R_1=\{-2,0,2,4\}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Range of}R_1=\{-3,-1,0\}[/tex]

In the graph 5 points are plotted. So, the relation is  

[tex]R_2=\{(-3,1),(-1,-1),(0,0),(3,2),(3,3)\}[/tex]

So,

[tex]\text{Domain of}R_2=\{-3,-1,0,3\}[/tex]

For what values of a the following expressions are true: |a|=−a

Answers

Answer:

Any negative number and 0 works for the expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at this type of equation, we know that either EVERY negative number and 0 or EVERY positive number and 0 will work for this equation, since nothing is being added and we're just working with absolutes/negatives.

Let's try a random positive number in the expression

[tex]|6| = -(6)\\6 \neq -6[/tex]

So this positive number doesn't work, let's just test with another one.

[tex]|9| = -(9)\\9 \neq -9[/tex]

So we know that positive numbers won't work with this expression.

Let's test 0 quickly, just to make sure.

[tex]|0| = -0\\0 = 0[/tex]

So 0 works.

Let's try a few negative numbers now.

[tex]|-5| = -(-5)\\5 = 5[/tex]

So yes, this does work. Let's try one more negative number.

[tex]|-120| = -(-120)\\120 = 120[/tex]

This works. So, every negative number and 0 work with this equation.

Hope this helped!

A. higher finance charge
B. higher interest rate
C. higher principal amount
D.lower penalties on late payments
O E.

Answers

Answer:

E.  lower principal amount​

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use an example to show how this works:

You want to buy a car and it costs $20,000. The loan lasts 5 years (60 monthly payments) and the interest rate is 10%.

If you do not make any down payment, your initial principal will be $20,000, and your monthly payment will be $424.94, your total payments = $25,496.45 and the total interests = $5,496.45.

Instead, if you make a 20% down payment, your initial principal = $16,000,  and your monthly payment will be $339.95, your total payments = $20,397.16  and the total interests = $4,397.16.

Answers

Answer:

a rotation, followed by a translationa translation, followed by two reflections

Step-by-step explanation:

The rigid motions are the transformations that produce congruent images.

There are three main kinds of rigid motions  :

Reflections : Flips a figure across a line of reflection. Rotations : Rotates a figure about some degrees around a center point. Translations : Moves figure on a plane about some distance in a certain direction.

But dilation is not a rigid transformation because it may change the size of the image. It is usually used to shrink or enlarge a shape.

So, the options having dilation and term "stretch" cannot produce congruent figures.

Hence, the correct options are :

a rotation, followed by a translationa translation, followed by two reflections

If f(x)=5x-12, find a value for $x$ so that f^{-1}(x)=f(x+1).

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf \ \ \ x=\dfrac{47}{24} \ \ \ }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

f(x)=5x-12

we need to find x so that

[tex]f^{-1}(x)=f(x+1)[/tex]

so first of all we can write

[tex]x = (fof^{-1})(x)=f(f^{-1}(x))=5f^{-1}(x)-12\\\\<=>5f^{-1}(x)=x+12\\\\<=>f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x+12}{5}[/tex]

and f(x+1) = 5(x+1) - 12 = 5x + 5 -12 = 5x - 7

then solving

[tex]f^{-1}(x)=f(x+1)[/tex]

is equivalent to

[tex]\dfrac{x+12}{5}=5x-7 \ multiply \ by \ 5 \\\\<=> x+12 = 5(5x-7)=25x-35\\<=> 25x-x=12+35\\\\<=>24x=47\\\\<=>x=\dfrac{47}{24}[/tex]

speed of car = 41m/s

Energy consumption rate of engine = 756 joules/second

Time taken to consume 52700 joules = 52700/756.

If it travels at 41m/s for 52700/756 seconds, then the distance covered = 41 x 52700/756 = 2858 meters.

A bridge on a prominent public roadway in the city of Springfield, Ohio, was deteriorating and in need of repair. The city posted notices seeking proposals for an artistic bridge design and reconstruction. Bridges by Madison LLC, owned and managed by Madison Mason and his wife, May Mason, decided to submit a bid for a decorative concrete project that incorporated artistic metalwork. They contacted Pablo Hand, a local sculptor who specialized in large-scale metal designs, to help them design the bridge. The city selected their bridge design and awarded them the contract for a commission of $184,000. Bridges by Madison and Hand then entered into an agreement to work together on the bridge project. Bridges by Madison agreed to install and pay for concrete and structural work, and Hand agreed to install the metalwork at his expense. They agreed that overall profits would be split, with 25 percent to Hand and 75 percent going to Bridges by Madison. Hand designed numerous metal pig sculptures that were incorporated into colorful decorative concrete forms designed by May Mason, while Madison Mason performed the structural engineering. The group worked together successfully until the completion of the project.
