Mathematics

mash [69]2 years ago

Based on the characteristics of <em>linear</em> and <em>piecewise</em> functions, the <em>piecewise</em> function f(x) = \left \{ {{-0.5\cdot x +1, \,x < 0} \atop {2\cdot x - 2, \,x \ge 0}} \right. is shown in the graph attached herein. (Correct choice: A)

<h3>How to determine a piecewise function</h3>

In this question we have a graph formed by two different <em>linear</em> functions. <em>Linear</em> functions are polynomials with grade 1 and which are described by the following formula:

y = m · x + b     (1)

Where:

  • x - Independent variable.
  • y - Dependent variable.
  • m - Slope
  • b - Intercept

By direct observation and by applying (1) we have the following <em>piecewise</em> function:

f(x) = \left \{ {{-0.5\cdot x +1, \,x < 0} \atop {2\cdot x - 2, \,x \ge 0}} \right.

Based on the characteristics of <em>linear</em> and <em>piecewise</em> functions, the <em>piecewise</em> function f(x) = \left \{ {{-0.5\cdot x +1, \,x < 0} \atop {2\cdot x - 2, \,x \ge 0}} \right. is shown in the graph attached herein. (Correct choice: A)

Piper works at a camera store. He is paid an hourly rate +16% commission on everything he sells. One week, he was paid $515 for
umka21 [38]
His hourly rate is $13.75.

Let x be the hourly rate.  Since he works 20 hours that week, the hourly wages are given by 20x.  We add to that his commission, which is 16% of the $1500 in sales, or 0.16(1500).  This totals to 515:

20x + 0.16(1500) = 515
20x + 240 = 515

Subtract 240 from both sides:
20x + 240 - 240 = 515 - 240
20x = 275

Divide both sides by 20:
20x/20 = 275/20
x = 13.75.

What is the length of the hypotenuse? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
artcher [175]

Answer:

17 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorm is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

In this problem we can call 8 km a and 15 km b.

Plug 8 and 15 into the pythagorean theorm to get 8^2 + 15^2 = c^2

This will give you 289=c^2

Take the square root of both sides to get c=17

Hope this helps!

An equilateral triangle has a perimeter of 48 centimeters. If the triangle is dilated by a factor of 0.75, what is the length of
elena55 [62]
The length of each side is 28 cm. 
the perimeter of the equilateral triangle is 48 cm. To find each side of the original triangle, you do 48/3=16cm. since the triangle dilate by 0.75, then you can just do 0.75*16=12cm. then you have to add 12 to 16 because the triangle gets bigger by 12 cm. so 16+12=28 cm.

How can you use 4×7 to find 8×7
Natasha_Volkova [10]
If you think about it, 4x7 is half of 8x7 (If you multiply 4, 7, and 2, you get 8x7). So really you can just multiply 4x7 by 2 and you will get 8x7!
