*To solve inequalities is similar to solving equations: isolate the desired variable to one side.

So firstly, distribute -8 to (p + 1):

$5p-8p-8>16$

Next, combine like terms:

$-3p-8>16$

Next, add 8 to both sides:

$-3p>24$

Lastly, divide both sides by -3. Now since you are dividing by a negative, you will be flipping the inequality symbol as well. Your final answer will be $p$

Can you have a negative amplitude?

gayaneshka [121]

No, there can not be negative amplitude because it is just the distance between the max and the midline or the minimum and the midline.

I see where you might be confused because for instance in the trig equation:
y = -3 sin (.5(x- $\pi$ /2)) -1, there is a negative in front of the amplitude. However, when finding the amplitude, you take the absolute value of a.

Problem Set:

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Part a) $\frac{132}{89}$

Part b) 132:89 vs 132 to 89

Part c) $\frac{66}{7}$

Part d) 66:7 vs 66 to 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of boys

y ----> the number girls

z ----> the number of adults

we have

x=132, y=89, z=14

Part a) Write the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls.

To find the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls, divide the number of boys by the number of girls

$\frac{x}{y}$

substitute

$\frac{132}{89}$

Part b) Write the same ratio using another form (A: B vs. A to B)

we have

$\frac{132}{89}$

The other form is

132:89 vs 132 to 89

Part c) Write the ratio of the number of boys to the number of adults

To find the ratio of the number of boys to the number of adults, divide the number of boys by the number of adults

$\frac{x}{z}$

substitute

$\frac{132}{14}$

Simplify

$\frac{66}{7}$

Part d) Write the same ratio using another form

The other form is

66:7 vs 66 to 7

What is the equation ?

Paul [167]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. The asymptote are x = 1 and y = 2 as far as I can tell from your graph.

step 2. the x = 1 asymptote creates an (x - 1) in the denominator.

step 3. the y = 2 asymptote creates a 2x in the numerator.

step 4. so y = 2x/(x - 1).
