Note that -5 = x, plug in -5 for x

g(x) = x + 3

g(-5) = (-5) + 3

Simplify

g(-5) = -5 + 3

g(-5) = -2

g(-5) = -2 is your answer

A parachutist's speed during a free fall reaches 198 feet per second. What is this speed in meters per second? At this speed, ho

Archy [21]

First covert the feet to meters.

1 meter = 3.3 feet.

Divide the total number of feet by 3.3 to get total number of meters:

198 / 3.3 = 60 meters per second.

Multiply meters per second by 15 seconds:

60 x 15 = 900 meters in 15 seconds.

Find the height of triangle

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide 120 by two and get 60. Now do 120-60 to get 60. Set up proportion

60/x = x/60.

Cross multiply

x^2 = 3600

and now find the square root of 3600

The table represents an exponential function. A 2-column table has 4 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries 1, 2, 3, 4

scoray [572]

Answer:

The multiplicative rate of change of the function is $\dfrac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the table

$\begin{array}{cc}x&y\\ \\1&6\\2&4\\ \\3&\dfrac{8}{3}\\ \\4&\dfrac{16}{9}\end{array}$

An exponential function can be written as

$y=a\cdot b^x,$

where b is the multiplicative rate of change of the function.

Find a and b. Substitute first two corresponding values of x and y into the function expression:

$6=a\cdot b^1\\ \\4=a\cdot b^2$

Divide the second equality by the first equality:

$\dfrac{4}{6}=\dfrac{a\cdot b^2}{a\cdot b^1}\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{2}{3}$

Substitute it into the first equality:

$6=a\cdot \dfrac{2}{3}\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{6\cdot 3}{2}=9$

So, the function expression is

$y=9\cdot \left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^x$

Check whether remaining two values of x and y suit this expression:

$9\cdot \left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^3=9\cdot \dfrac{8}{27}=\dfrac{8}{3}\\ \\9\cdot \left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^4=9\cdot \dfrac{16}{81}=\dfrac{16}{9}$

So, the multiplicative rate of change of the function is $\dfrac{2}{3}$
