Answer:

-3 is the value of k in g(x)=kf(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Both functions cross nicely at x=-3 so I'm going to plug in -3 for x:

g(x)=kf(x)

g(-3)=kf(-3)

To solve this for k we will need to find the values for both g(-3) and f(-3).

g(-3) means we want the y that corresponds to x=-3 on the curve/line of g.

g(-3)=-3

f(-3) means we want the y that corresponds to x=-3 on the curve/line of f.

f(-3)=1

So our equation becomes:

g(-3)=kf(-3)

-3=k(1)

-3=k

So k=-3.

You need to wrap a present that you will put inside a cylindrical container. You’ll need to know how much will fit in the conta

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

149.28 sq. inches

137.5 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cylindrical container has length or height (h) 7 inches and has a diameter of 5 inches i.e. radius (r) 2.5 inches.

Now, total surface area of the container = $2\pi r^{2} + 2\pi rh$

= $\frac{2 \times 22 \times (2.5)^{2} }{7} + \frac{2 \times 22 \times 2.5 \times 7}{7}$

= 39.28 + 110

= 149.28 sq. inches (Answer)

Again the volume of the container will be $\pi r^{2}h$

= $\frac{22 \times (2.5)^{2} \times 7}{7}$

= 137.5 cubic inches. (Answer)

3. What are the coordinates of the points of tangency of the two tangent lines through the point (1,1) each tangent to the circl

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: $y+x=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

equation of circle $x^2+y^2=1$

Equation of tangent passing through (1,1)

Slope of tangent is given by differentiating equation of circle

$2x+2y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}=0$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}=\frac{-x}{y}$

at $(x,y)=(1,1)$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}=\frac{-1}{1}$

Equation of line with slope

$m=\frac{y-y_0}{x-x_0}$

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

$y+x=2$

You get paid bi-weekly for only holidays and Sunday not on Fourth of July I make $17.40 an hour. So how much I bring money I bri

Hunter-Best [27]

Well assuming you are not talking about blank holidays there are 22 pure year that you get off. Minus one for the fourth of July would be 21. There are 52 Sundays in a year (as there are 52 weeks in a year), with the slight possibility of a 53 Sunday. I'm going to assume that one wouldn't count though since it occurs every six years (hence leap years).

52+21=73

73 x 17.4 = 1,270.2

1,270.2 x 9 = 11,431.8

11,431.8 dollars yearly.

But to answer your question, there is no real way to answer it because I can't assume you participate in every holiday therefor a "bi-weekly" answer is unpredictable. Sorry I couldn't help you all the way but maybe this will give you a start :)
