Step-by-step explanation:

I understand this that we need to find a point B for each of a) to f).

remember, the slope is the (y coordinate difference / x coordinate difference) when going from one point on the line to the other.

a)

the slope 2/3 means that when going to B x has to increase by 3, and y has to increase by 2.

so, B = (-2 + 3, 5 + 2) = (1, 7)

b)

-2/3 means that either x or y have to decrease and the other to increase.

e.g. x increases by 3, y decreases by 2.

so, B = (-2 + 3, 5 - 2) = (1, 3)

c)

4 stands for 4/1.

so, x increases by 1, y increases by 4.

B = (-2 + 1, 5 + 4) = (-1, 9)

d)

similar to c) -3 stands for -3/1.

and similar to b) either x or y has to decrease and the other to increase.

e.g. x increases by 1, y decreases by 3.

B = (-2 + 1, 5 - 3) = (-1, 2)

e)

that means the y difference is 0. B has the same y coordinate.

e.g. B = (3, 5)

x can be any value.

the line is a horizontal line going through y = 5 or (0, 5) on the y-axis.

f)

that means the x difference is 0. B has the same x coordinate.

e.g. B = (-2, 9)

y can be any value.

the line is a vertical line going through x = -2 or (-2, 0) on the x-axis.

If s(x)=x-7 and t(x) =4x^2+3 which expression is equivalent to (t×s)(x)​
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

\large\boxed{(t\times s)(x)=4x^3-28x^2+3x-21}

Step-by-step explanation:

s(x)=x-7\\t(x)=4x^2+3\\\\(t\times s)(x)=t(x)\times s(x)\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\(t\times s)(x)=(4x^2+3)(x-7)\\\\\text{use FOIL:}\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\(t\times s)(x)=(4x^2)(x)+(4x^2)(-7)+(3)(x)+(3)(-7)\\\\=4x^3-28x^2+3x-21
