Answer:

Option D does not have an x-intercept. Please se attached graph

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation easily, we graph each equation in a graphing calculator and see which of them doesn't intercept the x-axis.

The correct answer is option

D

Answer:

The correct option is (D) f(x)=-5^{x-5}-1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the option A. f(x)=5^{x-5}-1

To find whether the exponential function has <em>x</em> intercepts, substitute f(x) = 0 \, \text {in} f(x)=5^{x-5}-1.

0=5^{x-5}-1

1=5^{x-5}

The above equality holds only for <em>x</em> = 5.

Now, consider the option B. f(x)=5^{x-5}-5

Similarly, substitute f(x) = 0 \, \text{in} f(x)=5^{x-5}-5

0=5^{x-5}-5

5=5^{x-5}

The above equality holds only for <em>x</em> = 6.

Consider the option C. f(x)=-5^{x-5}+5

Substitute f(x) = 0 \, \text{in} f(x)=-5^{x-5}+5

0=-5^{x-5}+5

-5=-5^{x-5}

5=5^{x-5}

The above equality holds only for <em>x</em> = 6.

Now, consider the option D. f(x)=-5^{x-5}-1

Substitute f(x) = 0 \, \text{in} f(x)=-5^{x-5}-1

0=-5^{x-5}-1

1=-5^{x-5}

This equality never holds for any real number.

We can draw the graph for the provided options with the help of graphing utility.

We can verify our result with the help of figure 1.

From the figure 1, it is clear that the graph of f(x)=-5^{x-5}-1 does not have an <em>x</em> intercept.

Hence, the correct option is (D) f(x)=-5^{x-5}-1.

NEED URGENT HELP!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

1. You need to multiply the denominator by something that will make the content of the radical be a square—so that when you take the square root, you get something rational. Easiest and best is to multiply by √6. Of course, you must multiply the numerator by the same thing. Then simplify.

\displaystyle\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}}\cdot\frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{6}}\\\\=\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{6}\cdot\sqrt{6}}=\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{6}\\\\=\bf{\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}}

2. Identify the squares under the radical and remove them.

5\sqrt{12xm^3}=5\sqrt{(4m^2)(3xm)}=5\sqrt{(2m)^2}\sqrt{3xm}\\\\=5\cdot 2m\sqrt{3xm}=\bf{10m\sqrt{3xm}}

Need help really badly please help .
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

sin s = 36 / 42 = 18 / 21 = 6/ 7

sin R = 14 / 42 = 7 / 21 = 1 / 3

cos s = 14 / 42 = 1 / 3

cos R = 36 / 42 = 6 / 7

Through how many radians do the minute hand and the hour hand move between 1:00 p.m. and 1:45 p.m. (on the same day)? ​
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

π/8 radians

Step-by-step explanation:

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION

In 1 h the minute hand on a clock moves through a complete circle, and the hour hand moves through 1 12 of a circle. Through how many radians do the minute hand and the hour hand move between 1:00 p.m. and 1:45 p.m. (on the same day)?

SOLUTION

✓If the minute hand on a clock moves through complete circle in 1 hour, then it means that it goes through a circle and angle of circle in radians is 2π.

Between 1:00 p.m. and 1:45pm in the same day we have 45 minutes i.e (1.45 pm -1pm)

Within the 1hour minutes, the hand can move with complete cycle of 2π radians

Then At time t= 45minutes

Angle through the circle at 45 minutes= 45/60 ×2π radians

= 3π/2 radians

And if the hour hand goes through a complete cycle 1/12 as told in the question we have 1/2 × 2π radians

For t=45 minutes

Then 1/12 × 2π ×45/60

= π/8 radians

Hence, the minute hand and the hour hand move π/8 radians between 1:00 p.m. and 1:45 p.m.
