Identify the explicit function for the sequence in the table. x:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, y: 8, 14, 20, 26, 32,
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The explicit function is y = 6x + 2

Explanation:

Since the change in x, Δx is constant and Δx = 1 and also, the change in y, Δy is constant and Δy = 6, we use the equation of a straight line in gradient form.

So, (y - y₁)/(x - x₁) = Δy/Δx where x₁ = 1 and y₁ = 8

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

(y - y₁)/(x - x₁) = Δy/Δx

(y - 8)/(x - 1) = 6/1

(y - 8)/(x - 1) = 6

cross-multiplying, we have

(y - 8) = 6(x - 1)

expanding the brackets, we have

y - 8 = 6x - 6

adding 8 to both sides of the equation, we have

y - 8 + 8 = 6x - 6 + 8

y + 0 = 6x + 2

y = 6x + 2

So, the explicit function is y = 6x + 2

Which type of weather is typical for a polar climate? A.warm, humid, rainy summers and cool, dry winters B.hot, humid weather an
Murrr4er [49]
Hello! Polar climate is in North & South Poles, where the weather there is extremely cold. Just by looking at the answer choices alone, A and B are both eliminated, because it is not hot, warm, or humid. Plus, the weather described in those answer choices does not fit at all. D is out as well, because the weather does not vary in the poles. It is very cold year-round. The only answer choice that even makes sense in this problem is C. Therefore, the answer is C.

The San Andreas fault is a strike-slip fault. What type of plate boundary is
zalisa [80]

Answer:

It is classified as a right lateral (dextral) strike-slip fault. Although both plates are moving in a north westerly direction, the Pacific Plate is moving faster than the North American Plate, so the relative movement of the North American Plate is to the south east.

Explanation:

The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault that extends roughly 1,200 kilometers (750 mi) through California. It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, and its motion is right-lateral strike-slip (horizontal).
