First you need the equation y=mx+b
you plug in x and y do find b the y intercept
-5 = -1/2*4 +b
-5 = -2 + b
b = -3
y = -1/2x-3

which of the functions have a range of real numbers greater than or equal to 1 or less than or equal to-1

lilavasa [31]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Which of the functions have a range of all real numbers greater than or equal to 1 or less than or equal to -1? check all that apply.

A. $y=\sec x$

B. $y= \tan x$

C. $y= \cot x$

D. $y= \csc x$

Answer:

A. $y=\sec x$

D. $y=\csc x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The range is greater than or equal to 1 or less than or equal to -1.

The given choices are:

Choice A: $y=\sec x$

We know that, the $\sec x=\frac{1}{\cos x}$

The range of $\cos x$ is from -1 to 1 given as [-1, 1]. So,

$|\cos x|\leq 1\\\textrm{Taking reciprocal, the inequality sign changes}\\\frac{1}{|\cos x|}\geq 1\\|\sec x|\geq 1$

Therefore, on removing the absolute sign, we rewrite the secant function as:

$\sec x\leq -1\ or\ \sec x\geq 1\\$

Therefore, the range of $y=\sec x$ is all real numbers greater than or equal to 1 or less than or equal to-1.

Choice B: $y= \tan x$

We know that, the range of tangent function is all real numbers. So, choice B is incorrect.

Choice C: $y= \cot x$

We know that, the range of cotangent function is all real numbers. So, choice C is incorrect.

Choice D: $y=\csc x$

We know that, the $\csc x=\frac{1}{\sin x}$

The range of $\sin x$ is from -1 to 1 given as [-1, 1]. So,

$|\sin x|\leq 1\\\textrm{Taking reciprocal, the inequality sign changes}\\\frac{1}{|\sin x|}\geq 1\\|\csc x|\geq 1$

Therefore, on removing the absolute sign, we rewrite the cosecant function as:

$\csc x\leq -1\ or\ \csc x\geq 1\\$

Therefore, the range of $y=\csc x$ is all real numbers greater than or equal to 1 or less than or equal to-1.

8x - 9 - 5x = 3x - 36 - 18x

makkiz [27]

Answer:

$8x - 9 - 5x = 3x - 36 - 18x \\ 8x - 5x - 9 = 3x - 18x - 36 \\ 3x - 9 = - 15x - 36 \\ 3x = - 15x - 36 + 9 \\ 3x = - 15x - 27 \\ 3x + - 15x = - 27 \\ - 12x = - 27 \\ x = \frac{ 27}{12}$
