Answer:

Yi Xing invented the astronomical clock and introduced some new methods of interpolation in mathematics.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yi Xing was both an astronomer and a mathematician during the era. He invented the astronomical clock which was more accurate than the initial water and Sun's clock in use.

Furthermore, Yi Xing also discovered some new methods of interpolation in mathematics of which the meaning and interpretation became controversial. Interpolation is a method majorly in mathematics that can be used to estimate a value of a function from its discrete values. It involves first order differences and second order differences.

Also, Yi Xing was able to design a calendar in A.D. 727.

Answer:

6) y = x^(5/3)

7) B

8) C

10) A

Step-by-step explanation:

6) The fifth root is the same as raising to the 1/5 power, so we can write this in exponent form as:

f(x) = (x^(1/5))³

f(x) = x^(3/5)

To find the inverse, switch x and y and solve for y.

x = y^(3/5)

y = x^(5/3)

7) f(x) = 2√(x − 4) + 8

Switch the x and y and solve for y:

x = 2√(y − 4) + 8

x − 8 = 2√(y − 4)

(x − 8) / 2 = √(y − 4)

(x − 8)² / 4 = y − 4

(x² − 16x + 64) / 4 = y − 4

¼x² − 4x + 16 = y − 4

y = ¼x² − 4x + 20

8) Find the inverse:

x = 5√(y + 3) − 2

x + 2 = 5√(y + 3)

(x + 2) / 5 = √(y + 3)

(x + 2)² / 25 = y + 3

y = -3 + (x + 2)² / 25

The inverse function is an upwards parabola with a vertex at (-2, -3). The best fit is C.

10) √(4x − 31) = x − 7

Square both sides:

4x − 31 = (x − 7)²

4x − 31 = x² − 14x + 49

Combine like terms:

0 = x² − 18x + 80

Factor:

0 = (x − 8) (x − 10)

x = 8 or 10

Check for extraneous solutions.

√(4×8 − 31) = 8 − 7

1 = 1

√(4×10 − 31) = 10 − 7

3 = 3

x = 8 and x = 10 are both solutions.

Make a table with the domain of {2,3,4,5,6} and draw a graph of the absolute value function y = 2|x-4| + 3.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

<h2>In the attachment.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$|a|=\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a&for\ a\geq0\\-a&for\ a$

Put each value of x from the set {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

to the equation y = 2|x - 4| + 3:

x = 2 → y = 2|2 - 4| + 3 = 2|-2| + 3 = 2(2) + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7 → (2, 7)

x = 3 → y = 2|3 - 4| + 3 = 2|-1| + 3 = 2(1) + 3 = 2 + 3 = 5 → (3, 5)

x = 4 → y = 2|4 - 4| + 3 = 2|0| + 3 = 2(0) + 3 = 0 + 3 = 3 → (4, 3)

x = 5 → y = 2|5 - 4| + 3 = 2|1| + 3 = 2(1) + 3 = 2 + 3 = 5 → (5, 5)

x = 6 → y = 2|6 - 4| + 3 = 2|2| + 3 = 2(2) + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7 → (6, 7)

Mark the points in the coordinates system.

The domain is only five numbers, therefore the graph of this function is only five points.

What is the square root of A=121 ft2

storchak [24]

The result of the square root of the equation A = 121 ft² is √A = 11 ft

<h3>What are square roots?</h3>

Square roots are numbers multiplied by itself to give another number

<h3>How to determine the square root?</h3>

The equation is given as:

A = 121 ft²

Take the square root of both sides

√A = √121 ft²

Evaluate the square root

√A = 11 ft

Hence, the square root of the equation A = 121 ft² is √A = 11 ft
