Step-by-step explanation:

4(5x-9)=-2(x+7)

4*5x-4*9=-2*x-2*7

20x-36=-2x-14

20x+2x=-14+36

22x=22

x=22/22

x=1

I do not even know where to begin. Please help.

F(x) = 2x + 1 when x <= -5
Now -10 is less than -5 so we plug x = -10 into 2x +1:-

f(-10) = 2(-10) + 1 = -19 answer

Now f(x) = x^2 when -5< x < 5
x =2 is within this range so f(2) = 2^2 = 4 answer

You can calculate the other 3 values by a similar method

An ice cream cone has height of 6 inches and a diameter of 2 inches what is the volume in cubic inches of the ice cream

GrogVix [38]

keeping in mind that radius is half the diameter, we know this cone has a diameter of 2 inches, so it has a radius of 1 inch, kinda small really for ice-cream, but anyhow.

$\textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=1\\ h=6 \end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{\pi (1)^26}{3}\implies V=2\pi \implies \underset{\textit{rounded up}}{V\approx 6}$

Equation of a line with slip of 5 passing through points (-4,-6)

kirill [66]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-6})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies 5 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-(-6)=5[x-(-4)] \\\\\\ y+6=5(x+4)\implies y+6=5x+4\implies y=5x-2$
