Natalija [7]2 years ago

The piece-wise linear functions can be written as follows:

  • f(x) = -0.5x + 3, x < 5.
  • f(x) = -5, x = 5
  • f(x) = -x  + 9, x > 5.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

For x less than 5, the y-intercept is of b = 3 and the function also gos through (2,2), hence the slope is:

m = (2 - 3)/(2 - 0) = -0.5.

Hence the rule is:

f(x) = -0.5x + 3, x < 5.

When x = 5, the function is constant at -5, hence:

f(x) = -5, x = 5

For x less than 5, the function goes through points (6,3) and (7,2), hence the slope is:

m = (2 - 3)/(7 - 6) = -1.

Then:

y = -x + b

When x = 6, y = 3, hence the y-intercept is given as follows:

3 = -6 + b

b = 9.

Hence the rule is:

f(x) = -x  + 9, x > 5.

Simplify the expression. -5/8(-3/8-1/4) ​
prisoha [69]

Answer:

25/64

Step-by-step explanation:

To get this answer, first you need to use the distributive property:

(-3/8)(-5/8) - (1/4)(-5/8)

Next, multiply:

15/64 - (-5/32)

Change the negative signs into a positive sign:

15/64 + 5/32

Multiply 5/32 by 2 on both top and bottom:

15/64 + (5)(2)/(32)(2)

You will then get:

15/64 + 10/64

Now, add the numerators. You will get:

25/64

This is your answer. I hope it helped!

PLEASE HELP!!
Elena-2011 [213]
For this case we have the following equation:
 S = 0.159 + 0.118logD
 Substituting S = 0.2 we have:
 0.2 = 0.159 + 0.118logD
 From here, we clear the value of D.
 We have then:
 0.2 - 0.159 = 0.118logD
 logD = (0.2 - 0.159) / (0.118)
 logD = 0.347457627
 10 ^ (logD) = 10 ^ 0.347457627
 D = 10 ^ (0.347457627)
 D = 2.23 mm
 Answer:
 
The average diameter, D, of the sand particles for a beach is:
 
D = 2.23 mm
