Answer:

C.

f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\dfrac{1}{2}x-3,\ \ x

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the piecewise function consists of two linear functions which graphs meets at point with x-coordinate x = 2.

1. The left linear function is determined for all x < 2 and is passing through the points (0,-3) and (-2,-4). So, its slope is

\dfrac{-4-(-3)}{-2-0}=\dfrac{-1}{-2}=\dfrac{1}{2}

and its equation is

y-(-3)=\dfrac{1}{2}(x-0)\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{2}x-3

2. The right linear function is determined for all x ≥ 2 and is passing through the points (2,-2) and (3,1). So, its slope is

\dfrac{1-(-2)}{3-2}=\dfrac{3}{1}=3

and its equation is

y-1=3(x-3)\\ \\y=3x-8

3. Hence, the expression for the piece-wise function is

f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\dfrac{1}{2}x-3,\ \ x

8 A video game that usually costs $50 is on sale for $32.50
finlep [7]

The video game is on 35% discount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of video game = $50

Price on sale = $32.50

Amount of discount = Original price - price on sale

Amount\ on\ discount = 50-32.50\\Amount\ on\ discount= \$17.5

Percentage = \frac{Dicount\ Price}{Original\ Price}*100

Percentage=\frac{17.5}{50}*100\\Percentage=\frac{1750}{50}\\Percenatge=35\%

The video game is on 35% discount.

Graph the function f(x) = x3 – 3x – 2. Based on the graph, which value for x is a double root of this function? a.–2 b.–1 c.1 d.
dalvyx [7]
To solve the problem shown above you must apply the following proccedure:

 1. You have the following function given in the problem:

 <span> f(x)=x3–3x–2

 2. When you give values to the x and plot each point obtained, you obtain the graph shown in the figure attached.

 3. Based on the graph and analizing the alternate form:

 f(x)=(x-2)(x+1)</span>²

 As you can see, there is two roots x=-1, then, you can conclude that the correct answer is the option b, which is:

 b) -1

Volume of a cylinder with a height of 8 and a width of 8
tangare [24]

Answer:

I am only in like 5th grade, but I'll do my best to answer this.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder: πr^2h where "r" is the radius and "h" is the height

π * 4^2 because since the width is 8, half of that is the radius

π * 4^2 * 8 because you still have to multiply that by the height to find the full space inside

= π * 4^2 * 8

V ≈ 402.12 (rounded to two decimals)

Eduardo and Paul are leaving the same airport in Florida. Eduardo’s flight to Jamaica is 273 miles long. Paul's flight to Hondur
k0ka [10]

Answer:

B. 41.8° is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Length of Eduardo's flight path = 273 miles

Length of Paul's flight path = 357 miles

Distance between their destinations = 238 miles.

Now, using the law of cosines, we get,

238^2=273^2+357^2-2\times 273\times 357\times \cos \theta

i.e. 56644=74529+127449-194922\times \cos \theta

i.e. 56644=201978-194922\times \cos \theta

i.e. 194922\times \cos \theta=145334

i.e. \cos \theta=0.7456

i.e. \theta=\arccos 0.7456

i.e.  θ = 41.8°

Hence, the angle between their flight paths is 41.8°.
