8 pounds
2.50 - 7.75 = 5.25
5.35 divided by 0.75=7

Given various values of the linear functions f(x) and g(x) in the table, determine the y-intercept of (f- g)(x).

lisabon 2012 [21]

The y-intercept of linear function (f- g)(x) is (0,9)

<h3>How to determine the y-intercept?</h3>

The table of values is given as:

x -6 -4 -1 3 4

f(x) 15 11 5 -3 -5

g(x) -36 -26 -11 9 14

The equations of the functions is calculated using:

$y = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2-x_1} * (x -x_1) + y_1$

So, we have:

$f(x) = \frac{11 -15}{-4 + 6} * (x + 6) + 15$

Evaluate

f(x) = -2x + 3

Also, we have:

$g(x) = \frac{-26 + 36}{-4 + 6} * (x + 6) - 36$

Evaluate

g(x) = 5x - 6

Next, we calculate (f - g)(x) using:

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

This gives

(f - g)(x) = -2x + 3 - 5x + 6

Substitute 0 for x

(f - g)(0) = -2(0) + 3 - 5(0) + 6

Evaluate

(f - g)(0) = 9

Hence, the y-intercept of (f- g)(x) is (0,9)

The equation below describes a parabola. If a is negative, which way does the parabola open?

const2013 [10]

Given equation : y=ax^2
Taking a to the other side we have, x^2=(1/a)*y
This equation describes a parabola that opens up.
When a is negative, the focus is on the negative y-axis, therefore, the parabola opens down.
The answer is a. down.

calculate the scale factor of abc to def enter answer as a whole number or as a fraction into lowest terms

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Scale is 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since all sides and angles are identical these are congruent triangles

3 ways to solve:

Scale Factor = DE / AB = 12/72 = 1/6

Scale Factor = DF/AC = 7/42 = 1/6

Scale Factor = EF/CB = 11/66 = 1/6

1.the graph of y = x² is moved five units upward

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

I guess that we want to find the equation for each case.

First, let's define the translations:

Horizontal translation.

For a function f(x), an horizontal translation of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x + N)

if N > 0, the translation is to the left

if N < 0, the translation is to the right.

Vertical translation:

For a function f(x), a vertical translation of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x) + N

if N > 0, the translation is upwards

if N < 0, the translation is downwards.

Now that we know these, we can find the equations for each case:

1. the graph of y = x² is moved five units upward

the graph is given by a vertical translation of 5 units upward.

y = x^2 + 5

2 the graph of y = 5x² is moved six units to the left

this is:

y = 5*(x + 6)^2

3: the graph of y = -2x² is moved seven units downward

this is:

y = -2x^2 - 7

4: the graph of y = -x² is moved two units to the left and four units downward

now we have two translations, first 4 units to the left and then 4 units downwards, this gives:

y = -(x + 4)^2 - 4

5: the graph of y = -3x² is moved two units to the right

Remember that to move the graph to the right, we need to have N negative, then:

y = -3(x - 2)^2

Hi ;-)

$x^2+6x-10=30 \ \ /-30\\\\x^2+6x-40=0\\\\a=1, \ b=6, \ c=-40\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac=6^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-40)=36+160=196\\\\\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{196}=14\\\\x_1=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-6-14}{2}=\boxed{-10}\\\\x_2=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-6+14}{2}=\boxed4$
