Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Their point of intersection, assuming there is one, will be somewhere on the line y = x. This line, y = x, is the line of symmetry between a function and its inverse. So if the two do in fact intersect, it will be at some point on that line

The Greek alphabet contains 24 letters. How many fraternity names with Greek letters can be formed if each fraternity name conta

ankoles [38]

For the first letter we have 24 choices. Since letters can't repeat the second letter has 23 choices (24 minus 1 that was used for the first slot) and the third has 22 (24 minus one for the first slot and one for the second slot).

The total number of combinations is thus: 24 x 23 x 22= 12,144

Find number a and k so that x-2 is afactor<br>OF F(x)=x4-2ax tax-<br>X+k and F(-1)=3

Slav-nsk [51]

Question:

Find numbers a and k so that x-2 is a factor of

$f(x)=x^4-2ax^3+ax^2- x+k$

and

$f(-1)=3$

Answer:

$k = -2$ and $a=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x)=x^4-2ax^3+ax^2- x+k$

$Factor:\ x - 4$

$f(-1)=3$

Required

Find a and k

For $f(-1)=3$

Substitute -1 for x

$f(x)=x^4-2ax^3+ax^2- x+k$

$f(-1) = (-1)^4 - 2a *(-1)^3 + a*(-1)^2 - (-1) + k$

$f(-1) = 1 - 2a *-1 + a*1 +1 + k$

$f(-1) = 1 +2a + a +1 + k$

$f(-1) = 2 +3a + k$

Substitute 3 for f(-1)

$3 = 2 +3a + k$

Collect Like Terms

$3 - 2 = 3a + k$

$1 = 3a + k$

Also:

If $x - 2$ is a factor, then

$f(2) = 0$

Substitute 2 for x and 0 for f(x)

$f(x)=x^4-2ax^3+ax^2- x+k$

$0 = 2^4 - 2a * 2^3 + a * 2^2 - 2 + k$

$0 = 16 - 2a * 8 + a * 4 - 2 + k$

$0 = 16 - 16a + 4a - 2 + k$

$0 = 16 - 12a - 2 + k$

Collect Like Terms

$2 - 16 = - 12a + k$

$-14 = k - 12a$

$k = 12a - 14$

Substitute 12a - 14 for k in $1 = 3a + k$

$1 = 3a + 12a - 14$

$1 = 15a - 14$

Collect Like Terms

$15a = 1 + 14$

$15a = 15$

Solve for a

$a = \frac{15}{15}$

$a=1$

Substitute 1 for a in $k = 12a - 14$

$k = 12 * 1 - 14$

$k = 12 - 14$

$k = -2$

How to simply 4 (2x)^3

Kruka [31]

Remember the order of operations. The first step in this problem will be to solve the exponent.

Take (2x)^3. Remember that since there are parentheses around 2x, that means you have to cube 2 and x.

(2x)^3 = 2^3 * x^3 = 8x^3

Now multiply that answer by 4 to finish simplifying.

8x^3 * 4 = 32 x^3

Your answer should be: 32x^3

How are functions related to solving linear equations

motikmotik

A linear function is a function with the form f(x) = ax' + b. It looks like a regular linear equation, but instead of using y, the linear function notation is f(x). To solve a linear function, you would be given the value of f(x) and be asked to find x.
