Mathematics
1 answer:
Daniel [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x=-\frac{9}{4} \\ or \:\\x = -2\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 (x + 1/4)+1=5\\\\-2\left(x+\frac{1}{4}\right)+1=5\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}1\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\-2\left(x+\frac{1}{4}\right)+1-1=5-1\\\\Simplify\\-2\left(x+\frac{1}{4}\right)=4\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-2\\\frac{-2\left(x+\frac{1}{4}\right)}{-2}=\frac{4}{-2}\\\\Simplify\\x+\frac{1}{4}=-2\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}\frac{1}{4}\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\x+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{4}=-2-\frac{1}{4}\\\\Simplify\\x=-\frac{9}{4}\\\\x = -2\frac{1}{4}

Well, their speeds are (V_1 is Jack's speed, and V_2 is Richard's.
V_1 = \frac{1}{5} houses/day \\ V_2 = \frac{1}{7} houses/day \\ V = V_1 + V_2 = \frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{7} = \frac{7+5}{35} = \frac{12}{35}
They, together, can paint 12 houses in 35 days. To get a single house, we only have to calculate \frac{35}{12} which is very close to 3 (a bit below)

The graph shows the heights, y (in centimeters), of a plant after a certain number of weeks, x. Donna drew the line of best fit
Nezavi [6.7K]

Using the given linear function of best-fit, the most likely approximate height of the plant after 8 weeks would be of 7.4 centimeters.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

The line of best-fit goes through points (0,1) and (5,5). Point (0,1) means that the y-intercept is of b = 1. The slope is given as follows:

m = (5 - 1)/(5 - 0) = 4/5 = 0.8.

Hence the equation that gives the approximate height after x weeks is:

y = 0.8x + 1.

After 8 weeks, the expected height is:

y = 0.8 x 8 + 1 = 6.4 + 1 = 7.4 centimeters.
