F(x)=x+2/2 what is the value of f(-8) A.-4 B.-3 C.-5 D.-6

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: Choice B) -3

------------------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

f(x) = (x+2)/2
f(-8) = (-8+2)/2 ... replace every x with -8; use PEMDAS
f(-8) = (-6)/2
f(-8) = -3

Beatrice calculated the slope between two pairs of points.

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The answer in the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

step 1

Find the slope between (-3, -2) and (1, 0)

$m=\frac{0+2}{1+3}$

$m=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Find the equation of the line

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

with m and the point (1,0)

substitute

$y-0=\frac{1}{2}(x-1)$

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}$

step 2

Find the slope between (-2, -1) and (4, 2)

$m=\frac{2+1}{4+2}$

$m=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

Find the equation of the line

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

with m and the point (4,2)

substitute

$y-2=\frac{1}{2}(x-4)$

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-2+2$

$y=\frac{1}{2}x$

<em>Compare the equation of the two lines</em>

The two lines are parallel, because their slope is the same, but are different lines

therefore

Beatrice's conclusion is incorrect

All of these points are not on the same line, because are different parallel lines

The slope between (-2,-1) and (1,0) is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$

A recipe for bran muffins calls for 2 1/2 cups of bran flakes. The recipe yields 9 muffins. How much bran flakes should be used

kolbaska11 [484]

10/3 bran flakes can make a dozen muffins

A recipe requires 2 1/2 cups of bran flakes

The recipe can make 9 muffins

Let's calculate the amount of bran flakes it will take to make 1 muffin

5/2 = 9

x= 1

cross multiply

9x= 5/2

x= 5/18

A dozen is 12, the number of bran flakes to make a dozen can be calculated as follows

5/18= 1

y= 12

cross multiply

y= 5/18 × 12

y= 10/3

Hence it will take 10/3 to make a dozen muffins
