To find the x intercept of the function, we would find g(x) = 0

To do this, we would set each expression in the piecewise function to zero and solve for x. We have

For

x/3 + 2 = 0

let us multiply both sides of the equation by 3. We have

x/3 * 3 + 2 * 3 = 0 * 3

x + 6 = 0

x = - 6

- 6 is less than - 1

- 6 < - 1

It satisfies the inequality. Thus, x = - 6 is in the domain

For

4x - 2 = 0

adding 2 to both sides of the equation, we have

4x - 2 + 2 = 0 + 2

4x = 2

Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we have

4x/4 = 2/4

x = 1/2

x = 1/2 is less than 1. It is not in the domain of this equation. Thus, there is no x interscept at x = 1/2

Therefore, the x intercept of the piecewise function is (- 6, 0)

When you flip a biased coin the probability of getting a tail is 0.34. Find the probability of getting a head.

koban [17]

Answer:

If you want to know what the probability is to get at least one Heads, then that is the same as the probability of all the events (100%, or 1) minus the probability of getting all Tails.

There are 100 coins. 99 are fair, 1 is biased with both sides as heads. With a fair coin, the probability of three heads is 0.53=1/8. The probability of picking the biased coin: P(biased coin)=1/100.

ali wants to buy a piano the piano measures 19/4 feet long she has a space 5 feet long for the paino in her house. does she have

IceJOKER [234]

Yes. This is because 19/4 as a mixed number is 4 3/4. 4 3/4 < 5. It might be a tight fit but she has enough room

Alexis bought a CD player. She does not remember the price, but she does know that the 5% sales tax came to $4.80. What was the

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Price of CD player = $96

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sales tax = 5%

Amount of sales tax = $4.80

Find:

Price of CD player

Computation:

Price of CD player = Amount of sales tax / Sales tax

Price of CD player = 4.8 / 5%

Price of CD player = $96

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point ( 6 , − 2 ) (6,−2) and is perpendicular to the line 6 x + y = 2 6x

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

An equation of the line that passes through the point (6, − 2) and is perpendicular to the line will be:

$y=\frac{1}{6}x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Given the line

6x+y=2

Simplifying the equation to write into the slope-intercept form

y = -6x+2

So, the slope = -6

As we know that the slope of the perpendicular line is basically the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line.

Thus, the slope of the perpendicular line will be: -1/-6 = 1/6

Therefore, an equation of the line that passes through the point (6, − 2) and is perpendicular to the line will be

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

substituting the values m = 1/6 and the point (6, -2)

$y-\left(-2\right)=\frac{1}{6}\left(x-6\right)$

$y+2=\frac{1}{6}\left(x-6\right)$

subtract 2 from both sides

$y+2-2=\frac{1}{6}\left(x-6\right)-2$

$y=\frac{1}{6}x-3$

Therefore, an equation of the line that passes through the point (6, − 2) and is perpendicular to the line will be:

$y=\frac{1}{6}x-3$

sum of two numbers is 39. the greater number is 7 more than the smaller number. ( set up an equation )

pochemuha

Let x be the unknown number

2x +7 = 39

2x+7-7 = 39-7

2x = 32

2x/2 = 32/2

x=16

You use the balance method to solve. First, you cancel the +7 by subtracting the 7 ON BOTH SIDES to balance the equation.. After that, you are left with 2x, where you will need to isolate the x by dividing by 2 ON BOTH SIDES to balance it.

Hope this helps
