The value of the function at x = -1 is 5

<h3>What is function?</h3>

Function can be defined as an expression, rule, or law that defines a relationship between one variable known as the independent variable and another called the dependent variable.

From the information given, we have that;

f (x) = 3 (2)x with x=-1

Now, let's substitute the value of x as - 1 in the function given;

f (x) = 3 (2)x

f (x) = 3 (2) -1

Expand the bracket;

f (x) = 6 - 1

f(x) = 5

Thus, the value of the function at x = -1 is 5

"We use different formulas to find the distance of a segment on a number line, d=|a−b|, and the distance of a segment in the coo

olganol [36]

Distances are considered to be non-negative in all cases.

The absolute value function is necessary to get a positive result when the difference of coordinate values is negative.

The square root function is defined to return a positive result always, so no absolute value function is required when the distance is found using the square root function.

A tap can fill a bucket in 6 hours. After half the bucket is filled, three more similar taps are opened. What is the total time

777dan777 [17]

The total time taken to fill the bucket completely is 3 hours 45 minutes

The time taken to fill the bucket by one tap= 6 hours

Then the time take by one tap to fill half of the bucket= 3 hours

Part filled by one tap in one hour = $\frac{1}{6}$

Part filled by four taps in one hour = $4(\frac{1}{6})=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$

Given, that after half the bucket is filled, three more similar taps are opened

Then the remaining part = $1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$

Time taken to fill the half of the bucket= $(\frac{1}{2} )(\frac{2}{3})=\frac{3}{4}$ hours

Convert the hours to minutes

$(\frac{3}{4})60=45$ minutes

Therefore,

Total time taken to fill the bucket= The time taken by one tap to fill half of the bucket+ Time taken by 4 taps to fill the half of the bucket

=3 hours+ 45 minutes

=3 hours 45 minutes

Hence, The total time taken to fill the bucket completely is 3 hours 45 minutes

In the standard (x, y) coordinate plane, what is the slope of the line joining the points (3,7) and (4,−8)?

umka2103 [35]

$(3,7) \ and \ (4,-8)\\ \\ First \ find \ the \ slope \ of \ the \ line \ thru \ the \ points \: \\ \\ m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1} } \\ \\m=\frac{-8-7}{4-3} = \frac{-15}{1}=-15 \\ \\Now \ use \ y = mx + b \ with \ either \ point \ to \ find \ b, \ the \ y-intercept \ : \\ \\ y=mx+b \\ \\7=-15*3+b\\ \\7=-45 +b \\ \\b=7+45\\ \\b=52 \\ \\ y= - 5x+52 \ is \ the \ answer
