How are functions related to solving linear equations

A linear function is a function with the form f(x) = ax' + b. It looks like a regular linear equation, but instead of using y, the linear function notation is f(x). To solve a linear function, you would be given the value of f(x) and be asked to find x.

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y= 3x-2 and that passes through (9,-5).
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.

The line y = 3x - 2 has slope 3.

The perpendicular line has slope -1/3.

Now we find the equation of the line that has slope -1/3 and passes through (-9, 5).

y = mx + b

y = -1/3x + b

5 = (-1/3)(-9) + b

5 = 3 + b

b = 2

The equation of the perpendicular is

y = -1/3x + 2

Bob took 20 math test last year if he failed 6 of them what percent of the math test did he pass
kodGreya [7K]
6 out of 20=what percent?
6/20=x%

percent means parts out of 100
x%=x/100

6/20=x/100
time both sides by 100
30=x
answer is 30% passed

100-30=70
70% is answer

Can someone explain (with steps) how to rationalize the following expression?
insens350 [35]
F(x)=(-2/((x+y-2)^(1/2))-(x+y+2)^(1/2)
the only irrational part of this expression is the (x+y-2)^(1/2) in the denominator, so, to rationalize this, you multiply the numerator and denominator by the denominator, as well as the other parts of the expression
also, you must multiply the -sqrt(x+y+2) by sqrt(x+y-2)/sqrt(x+y-2) to form a common denominator
(-2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)-(x+y+2)^(1/2)(x+y-2)^(1/2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(common denominator)
(-2-(x^2+xy+2x+xy+y^2+2y-2x-2y-4))/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(FOIL)
(-2-x^2-y^2-2xy+4)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(Distribute negative)
(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(Simplify numerator)
(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)(x+y-2)^(1/2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(Rationalize denominator by multiplying both top and bottom by sqrt)
(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)((x+y-2)^(1/2))/(x+y-2)
(The function is now rational)
=(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)(sqrt(x+y-2))/(x+y-2)
