Answer:

$h ( 2 ) = - 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Two-Variable Functions</u>

A function expresses the relation between two variables in such a way that for each input for the independent variable n, there one and only one value for the function h(n). If it's explicitly given as an equation, then we can use values for n as we wish, and compute the different values of h(n).

The question provides the following function

$h ( n ) = 2 n - 5$

We are required to find h(2), which can be computed by replacing n by the value of 2

$h ( 2 ) = 2 (2) - 5$

$h ( 2 ) = 4 - 5$

$h ( 2 ) = - 1$

Solve the equation 3x+x²=-7. Does the number of solutions match the information provided by the discriminant? Explain

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

$-\frac{3}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{19}i}{2}$ and $-\frac{3}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{19}i}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x+x^2=-7\\\Rightarrow x^2+3x+7=0$

Discriminant

$D=b^2-4ac\\\Rightarrow D=3^2-4\times 7\times 1\\\Rightarrow D=-19$

If the discriminant is a negative number then the roots of the equation are imaginary

$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrtD}{2a}\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{-3\pm \sqrt{-19}}{2\times 1}\\\Rightarrow x=-\frac{3}{2}\pm \frac{\sqrt{19}i}{2}\\\Rightarrow x=-\frac{3}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{19}i}{2}, x=-\frac{3}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{19}i}{2}$

So, the two solutions are $-\frac{3}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{19}i}{2}$ and $-\frac{3}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{19}i}{2}$

Suppose that the water level of a river is 34 feet and that it is receding at a rate of her foot per day right in equation and h

Ghella [55]

Answer: it will take 9 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The water level was initially at 34feet it was receding at the rate of a foot per day. The rate at which it was receding is linear, thus, it is in an arithmetic progression. The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic progression is expressed as

Tn = a+(n-1)d

Where

a is the first term if the sequence

d is the common difference

n is the number of terms.

From the information given,

a = 34 feet because it is the initial height

n is the number of days it will take to get to 26 ft

d = -1 because it is decreasing by 1 foot per day.

Tn = T26 = 26 feet. Therefore, the equation will be

Tn = 34 -1(n-1)

To find for T26,

26= 34 + (n - 1)-1

26 - 34 = -n + 1

n - 1 = 8

n = 8 + 1 = 9
