Answer:

R=6.57978

also everyone add my sc- amber_hughes42

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

I=3.8 \times 10^6

I_0=1

now, we can use formula

R=log(\frac{I}{I_0} )

now, we can plug these values

we get

R=log(\frac{3.8 \times 10^6}{1} )

Graph the function.

Answer:

$\displaystyle{y=-3x-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

I have two methods: <u>standard-learning</u> which will explain overall mathematically - basically formula, etc. - while the other one <u>trick-tips</u> method will rely on choices rather mathematical calculations but with explanation on <em>why</em> and <em>how.</em>

<h3>Standard-Learning</h3>

First, let’s pick two points that are integers since they are easily to be found via graphs. We see that (-1,2) and (0,-1) is a part of the graph so now we finally have picked two points for our calculations.

When we have finally picked two points, we will be using them for <u>slope calculation</u>. This part is <u>crucial</u> for finding an equation of a line because a line has to contain slope in its equation.

To calculate the slope, we use rise over run formula which is:

$\displaystyle{\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}$

Note that $\displaystyle{\Delta}$ is delta - in both mathematic and physics, it means <u>changes in</u>.

So, we will be using those two points that we have picked to substitute in the slope formula. Let’s determine that $\displaystyle{(x_2,y_2)=(-1,2)}$ and $\displaystyle{(x_1,y_1)=(0,-1)}$ .

Therefore, our slope will be:

$\displaystyle{m=\dfrac{2-(-1)}{-1-0}}\\\\\displaystyle{m=\dfrac{2+1}{-1}}\\\\\displaystyle{m=-3}$

Next, find the y-intercept. From the graph, we see that the graph intercepts at (0,-1) which is y-intercept so we will only use y-value. Hence, b = -1.

From the slope-intercept form:

$\displaystyle{y=mx+b}$
