Answer:

The required linear equation satisfying the given conditions f(-1)=4 and f(5)=1 is $y=\frac{-1}{2} x+\frac{7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that f(-1)=4 and f(5)=1.

It is required to find out a linear equation satisfying the conditions f(-1)=4

and f(5)=1. linear equation of the line in the form

$$\left(y-y_{2}\right)=m\left(x-x_{2}\right)$$

Step 1 of 4

Observe, f(-1)=4 gives the point (-1,4)

And f(5)=1 gives the point (5,1).

This means that the function f(x) satisfies the points (-1,4) and (5,1).

Step 2 of 4

Now find out the slope of a line passing through the points (-1,4) and (5,1),

$$\begin{aligned}&m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\&m=\frac{1-4}{5-(-1)} \\&m=\frac{-3}{5+1} \\&m=\frac{-3}{6} \\&m=\frac{-1}{2}\end{aligned}$$

Step 3 of 4

Now use the slope $m=\frac{-1}{2}$ and use one of the two given points and write the equation in point-slope form:

$(y-1)=\frac{-1}{2}(x-5)$

Distribute $\frac{-1}{2}$,

$y-1=\frac{-1}{2} x+\frac{5}{2}$

Step 4 of 4

This linear function can be written in the slope-intercept form by adding 1 on both sides,

$$\begin{aligned}&y-1+1=\frac{-1}{2} x+\frac{5}{2}+1 \\&y=\frac{-1}{2} x+\frac{5}{2}+\frac{2}{2} \\&y=\frac{-1}{2} x+\frac{7}{2}\end{aligned}$$

So, this is the required linear equation.

Which equation represents the function represented by the table? 17 POINTS!!!
dybincka [34]

Answer:

  f(x) = -x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make the correct choice by seeing which equation works for the first line of the table.

  f(-1) = -(-1) -1 = 0 . . . . . the first equation works

  f(-1) = -(-1) +1 = 2 . . . not zero

  f(-1) = -1 -1 = -2 . . . not zero

  f(-1) = 1 -(-1) = 2 . . . not zero (same as second equation)

What is the surface area?????
Elenna [48]

The area of a triangle is found using the formula Area = 1/2 x base x height.


Base = 8

Height = 18.


The area of 1 triangle = 1/2 x 8 x 18 = 72 square units.


There are a total of 4 sides, so total area = 72 x 4 = 288 units ^2

ohaa [14]
To start with, convert 52 feet into metres
1 Feet= 0.3048
52 feet= ?
The number of meters= 52*0.3048
The number of meters= 15.8496 metres

The school need to add a further 1.8496 metres

Ivan

Answer:

my answer is a bit different but kinda similar ig.

254.34in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius = Diameter/2          18/2 = 9

Area of circle= pi(3.14) x r^2

A= (3.14) x 9^2

A= (3.14) x 81

A= 254.34in^2
