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.

What are the explicit equation and domain for an arithmetic sequence with a first term of 5 and a second term of 2? (5 points)

tiny-mole [99]

The third choice is appropriate.
an = 5 - 3(n - 1); all integers n ≥ 1

_____
This equation follows the form for the general term of an arithmetic sequence.
an = a1 + d(n - 1)
where a1 is the first term (corresponding to n=1), and d is the common difference. From the problem statement, a1 = 5 and d = 2 - 5 = -3.

marta [7]

Answer:

One rose bush = $3

One bunch of ornamental grass = $4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a system of equations to solve for this. Let cost of 1 rose bush be r and cost of 1 ornamental grass be g. Thus we can form 2 equations:

$14r+7g=70\\5r+14g=71$
