<span>y=-4/x+1 is ambiguous, since it's not immediately clear whether you meant 

                                                -4
y = -4/x   +    1      or      y = ---------
                                               x+1

I'm going to assume that the latter is what you meant.

1.  Interchange x and y, obtaining:

               -4
     x = --------
             y+1

2.  Solve this for y, obtaining  y+1 = -4/x, or   xy + x = -4, or
                                
                                -x - 4
    xy = -x-4, or y = ---------
                                    x

                                   -1              -1                 4
3.  Replace y with    f      (x):      f    (x) = -1 - -----
                                                                         x

This last result has the correct form.</span>

Answer:

a = 4

b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You see, the inverse here is:

y = -\frac{4}{x-1}

And given that y = - a/(x - b), you just fill out the numbers that substitute the letters.

-\frac{4}{x-1} = -\frac{a}{x-b}

Remove the common term (x):

\frac{-4}{-1} = \frac{-a}{-b}

Simplify:

\frac{4}{1} = \frac{a}{b}

From here you can now know that:

a = 4 and b = 1

If the 6th term of an arithmetic progres- sion is 11 and the first term is 1, find the common difference.​
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic progression with first term a and common difference d has the following first 6 terms:

a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4d, a + 5d

We are given a = 1 and a + 5d = 11.

1 + 5d = 11

5d = 10

d = 2

Answer: The common difference is 2.

Answer:

  draw the line using a ruler on which you have identified points 2 7/16 inches apart

Step-by-step explanation:

On your ruler graduated in inches with marks at 1/16-inch intervals, locate the 0 mark and the mark 1/16 inch before the half-inch mark between 2 and 3 inches.

Draw your line along the edge of the ruler between the two marks you have identified: 0 and 2 7/16. The line will be 2 7/16 inches long.

Can someone help me on the last question?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

I like saying rise over run because it helps me remember that rise means how many units you move up or down from point to point which on a graph would be a change in the y values. Also that run means how far left or right you move from point to point which on the graph would mean a change of x values.
