Hey there!

Let's write an equation given this information. We will use x to represent the number.

2(x-7)=5

Now, we use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.

2x-14=5

Now, we add 14 to both sides.

2x=19

We divide both sides by 2.

x=9.5

Therefore, our number is 9.5

I hope this helps!

F(x)=4x-8 and g(x)=5x+6, find (f+g)(x)

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

9x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are adding the two functions, you should first start adding like terms. 4x + 5x is 9x. -8 + 6 is -2. Thus the value of (f+g)(x) is 9x-2.

How do you find the average rate of change for f(x)=9-x^2 between two points: x=0 to x=3?

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The average rate of change is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

$f(x)=9-x^2$

And we want to find the average rate of change from x = 0 to x = 3.

In other words, we will compute the function at the two endpoints, and then find the slope of the line that crosses the two points.

For our first endpoint at x = 0, our function evaluates to:

$f(0)=9-(0)^2=9$

So, our first point is (0, 9).

For our second endpoint at x = 3, our function evaluates to :

$f(x)=9-(3)^2=0$

So, our second point is (3, 0).

Then by the slope formula, our average rate of change will be:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{0-9}{3-0}=\frac{-9}{3}=-3$

f(1)=−6 f(2)=−4 f(n)=f(n−2)+f(n−1) f(n)=?

The nth term of the sequence is 2n - 8

<h3>Equation of a function</h3>

The nth term of an arithmetic progression is expressed as;

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

where

a is the first term

d is the common difference

n is the number of terms

Given the following parameters

a = f(1)=−6

f(2) = −4

Determine the common difference

d = f(2) - f(1)

d = -4 - (-6)
d = -4 + 6

d = 2

Determine the nth term of the sequence

Tn = -6 + (n -1)(2)

Tn = -6+2n-2
Tn = 2n - 8

Hence the nth term of the sequence is 2n - 8
