3/(x +1) = 5/11
(x + 1)/3 = 11/5
x + 1 = 33/5
x = 33/5 - 1
x = 28/5 = 5 3/5

Answer: x=5\frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given proportion : \frac{3}{(x+1)}=\frac{5}{11}\\\\\text{Multiplying both sides by 11 (x+1), we get}

\frac{3}{(x+1)}\times11(x+1)=\frac{5}{11}\times11(x+1)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 33=5(x+1)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 33=5x+5\\\\\text{Subtract 5 on both sides, we get}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 5x=33-5\\\\\Rightarrow\ 5x=28\text{Dividing 5 on both sides, we get}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{28}{5}\\\\\text{In mixed fraction}\\\\ x=5\frac{3}{5}

Evaluate the function f(x)=x^2+6x+2 at the given values of the independent variable and simplify.
____ [38]

Answer:

a) 18

b)x^2+10x+18

c)x^2 -6x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a case of plugging in the value into f(x).

a) f(-8)= -8^2 + 6(-8) +2

f(-8)= 64 + (-48) +2

f(-8)=64 + (-46)

f(-8)=18

b)  f(x+2)= (x+2)^2+6(x+2)+2

So here I'll take a break to explain what's going on, because x+2 is a binomial meaning two terms and it is being squared I have to multiply the whole thing by itself. Meaning: (x+2) x (x+2), this is also known as foiling!! and for the next part its distributing 6 into x and 2.

    f(x+2)= x^2+4x+4+6x+12+2

I'll reorder it

 f(x+2)= x^2+4x+6x+12+2+4

    f(x+2)= x^2+10x+18

c) f(-x)= -x^2+6(-x) +2

f(-x)= x^2 -6x+2

What is the slope of D and E??
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

-4 and 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Rise over Run would give us the slope.

In the first graph, It goes down 4 while it goes 1 to the right.

This means that -4/1 = -4.

The second graph does not go up or down, meaning 0, while it goes 1 to the right.

This means that 0/1 = 0.
