Answer:
The answer is the letter B.
The first column represents the x-values, and the second row represents the y-values.
For that reason, if we have:
2x - 7y = -1
x + 3y = -5
Then, the matrix will be given by:
[ 2 -7
1 3]
Then, the third colum will be the equality:
[ -1
-5]
So the correct option is the letter B.
Given:
A table of values of a linear function.
To find:
The slope, y-intercept and equation of the function.
Solution:
Take any two points on the table.
Let the points are (-1, -3) and (0, -6).
Slope of the line:
m = -3
Slope of the function = -3
y-intercept of the function is the point where x = 0.
In the table y = -6 when x = 0
y-intercept = -6
Equation of a line:
y = mx + c
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept
y = -3x + (-6)
y = -3x - 6
Equation of a function is y = -3x - 6.
To effectively determine the correct answer, it would be helpful to write this into an algebraic expression. We let x as the number. We do as follows:
<span>Four times the square of a certain number increased by 6 times the number equals 108.
4x^2 + 6x = 108
The numbers can be either of the following since the equation generated was a quadratic equation which has two roots.
x = 4.5
x = -6 </span>
<h3>Given</h3>
... f(x) = x² -4x +1
<h3>Find</h3>
... a) f(-8)
... b) f(x+9)
... c) f(-x)
<h3>Solution</h3>
In each case, put the function argument where x is, then simplify.
a) f(-8) = (-8)² -4(-8) +1 = 64 +32 + 1 = 97
b) f(x+9) = (x+9)² -4(x+9) +1
... = x² +18x +81 -4x -36 +1
... f(x+9) = x² +14x +46
c) f(-x) = (-x)² -4(-x) +1
... f(-x) = x² +4x +1
