It is 8x because you're adding them not multiplying them. If you were multiplying it would be8x^2

<span>(f + g)(x) = 2x + 7 + 6x – 5

// 2x + 6x = 8x
// 7 - 5 = 2

Therefore,
</span>(f + g)(x) = 8x + 2
<span>
Answer: 8x + 2

Use the horizontal ruler to measure the horizontal distance between two crests. what is this distance?

alexgriva [62]

It seems some part of the text is missing, however, since we are talking about 'crests' I guess we are talking about waves.

In a wave, the distance between two consecutive crests corresponds to the wavelength of the wave. Therefore, the distance measured with the ruler is the wavelength of the wave.

Which point lies on a circle that is centered at A(-3, 2) and passes through B(1, 3)?

My name is Ann [436]

The equation of a circle:
$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$
(h,k) - the coordinates of the center
r - the radius

$\hbox{the center: } A(-3,2) \\
h=-3 \\ k=2 \\ \\
\hbox{the equation:} \\
(x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=r^2 \\ \\
\hbox{the circle passes through B(1,3)} \\
x=1 \\ y=3 \\ \Downarrow \\
(1+3)^2+(3-2)^2=r^2 \\
4^2+1^2=r^2 \\
16+1=r^2 \\
17=r^2 \\ \\
\hbox{the equation is:} \\
(x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=17$

Plug the coordinates of the points into the equation and check:
$C(-1,-2) \\
(-1+3)^2+(-2-2)^2=17 \\
2^2+(-4)^2=17 \\
4+16=17 \\
20=17 \\
not \ true \\ \\
D(-6,3) \\
(-6+3)^2+(3-2)^2=17 \\
(-3)^2+1^2=17 \\
9+1=17 \\
10=17 \\
not \ true$

$E(-3,-3) \\
(-3+3)^2+(-3-2)^2=17 \\
0^2+(-5)^2=17 \\
25=17 \\
not \ true \\ \\
F(-2,6) \\
(-2+3)^2+(6-2)^2=17 \\
1^2+4^2=17 \\
1+16=17 \\
17=17 \\
true$

The answer is F(-2,6).

What is the image of (-4,-2) after a reflection over the line y = -x?

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

(2, 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

For y = -x the transform is:

( x, y ) reflects to (-y, - x)

So (-4, -2) reflects to (2, 4)

Ryan played in 3 basketball games. He scored 18 points in the first game and 12 points in the second game. If he scored 42 point

stealth61 [152]

The correct answer for this very hard equation would happen to be 12 because 18+12 happens to equal 30 and 42-30 just so happens to equal 12
