Pre Calc work, I need help with writing piece wise functions from graphs. Can anyone help? Giving brainliest

Andrei [34K]

The definition of the piece-wise function is:

$f(x) = 2.5x + 1, -2 \leq x \leq 2$

$f(x) = -3, 2 < x < 6$ .

<h3>What is a piece-wise function?</h3>

A piece-wise function is a function that has different definitions, depending on the input.

In this problem, for inputs between -2 and 2, the function is a line that goes through (-2,-4) and (2,6). The slope is:

m = (6 - (-4))/(2 - (-2)) = 2.5.

The y-intercept is of b = 1, hence the rule is:

$f(x) = 2.5x + 1, -2 \leq x \leq 2$

For x greater than 2 and less than 6, the function is constant at -3, hence the rule is:

$f(x) = -3, 2 < x < 6$ .

A carpenter is making a rectangular form for a concrete pad she wants the length of the path to be 11 feet more than the width o

Basile [38]

Answer:

Length = 16 or -5 feet.

Width = 5 or -16 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the concrete pad = l

Let the width of the concrete pad = w

Given the following data;

Area of concrete pad, a = 80ft²

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;

$l = 11 + w$

We know that, the area of rectangle, A = length * width

$A = l*w$

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

$80 = (11 + w)w$

Expanding the bracket, we have;

$80 = 11w + w^{2}$

$w^{2} + 11w - 80 = 0$

*Solving the quadratic equation by using factorization method*

$w^{2} + 16w - 5w - 80 = 0$

$w(w + 16) - 5(w + 16) = 0$

$(w - 5)(w + 16) = 0$

Width, w = 5 feet or w = -16 feet.

Therefore, the width of the concrete pad is 5 feet or -16 feet.

To find its length, l;

$l = 11 + w$

When w = 5 feet

$l = 11 + 5$

Length, l = 16 feet

When w = - 16 feet

$l = 11 + (-16)$

$l = 11 - 16$

Length, l = -5 feet.

Hence, the dimensions of the concrete pad is 16 by 5 feet or -5 by -16 feet.

Which statement is true? A. In any right triangle, the sine of one acute angle is equal to the cosine of the other acute angle.

mr Goodwill [35]

That would be choice 2. One acute angle is the complement of the other

eg in a 90-60-30 triangle sine 30 = cos 60

Triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle in which side

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

It is given that triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.

From the below figure it is clear that the vertices of triangle are A(-2,-4), B(2,-1) and C(3,-4).

Distance formula:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Using this formula, we get

$AB=\sqrt{(2-(-2))^2+(-1-(-4))^2}=\sqrt{16+9}=5$

$BC=\sqrt{(3-2)^2+(-4-(-1))^2}=\sqrt{1+9}=\sqrt{10}$

$AC=\sqrt{(3-(-2))^2+(-4-(-4))^2}=\sqrt{25}=5$

Now,

Perimeter of triangle ABC = AB + BC + AC

$=5+\sqrt{10}+5$

$=10+\sqrt{10}$

So, perimeter of triangle ABC is $10+\sqrt{10}$ units.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
