Answer:
B. x < 24
Step-by-step explanation:
16 > - 8 + x
+8 > +8 + x Add 8 to both sides
24 > x
Final answer: x < 24
Alright, let's factor this to get the answer.
3k^2-10k+7
To find the factors, we want to think "What will add up to -10, and multiply to (+)7?"
Because the leading coefficient is 3, we know that we can take one factor of 7 and multiply it by 3.
Thus, this factors to
(3k-7)(k-1)
(if you FOIL it it should come out to be the original equation)
From this, set both of those [(3k-7) and (k-1)] equal to zero and solve
3k-7=0
3k=7
/3
k=7/3
or
k=1
The generic equation for a linear function can be expressed in the slope intercept form f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. For this problem we can first find the equation of the line. Then we substitute x = 7 to get the f(x) value, which is n at the point x = 7.
To find the equation of the linear function we first find the slope. Slope is defined as the change in f(x) divided by the change in x. As we are given a linear function, the slope at every point is the same. We can pick any two points known to find the slope.
Let's pick (3, 7) and (9, 16). The slope m is m = (16-7)/(9-3) = 9/6 = 3/2.
Now that we have the slope, we can plug in the slope and one of the points to find b. Let's use the point (3, 7).
f(x) = mx + b
7 = (1/2)(3) + b
b = 11/2
Now we can write the equation
f(x) = (1/2)x + 11/2
Plugging in x = 7 we find that f(7) = 9. n = 9
