Answer:

(-8, 3), (8, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point symmetry about origin means reflection of the given point about the origin.

The reflection of a point about the origin will cause the 'x' and 'y' value of the point to change its sign.

Therefore, the coordinate rule for point symmetry about the origin is given as:

$(x,y)\to (-x,-y)$

Now, let us check each of the given options.

Option 1:

(-8, 3), (8, -3)

Now, if (x, y) = (-8, 3), then its point symmetry is given as (-(-8), -3) = (8, -3)

So, option 1 is correct.

Option 2:

(-8, 3), (-3, 8)

Now, if (x, y) = (-8, 3), then its point symmetry is given as (-(-8), -3) = (8, -3) ≠ (-3, 8)

So, option 2 is not correct.

Option 3:

(-8, 3), (-8, -3)

Now, if (x, y) = (-8, 3), then its point symmetry is given as (-(-8), -3) = (8, -3) ≠ (-8, -3)

So, option 3 is not correct.

Option 4:

(-8, 3), (8, 3)

Now, if (x, y) = (-8, 3), then its point symmetry is given as (-(-8), -3) = (8, -3) ≠ (8, 3)

So, option 4 is not correct.

Hence, only option 1 is correct.

by the third day, t = 3, there are 40 folks sick,

$\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Growth}

A=P(1 + r)^t\qquad 
\begin{cases}

t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &3\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
40=2(1+r)^3\implies 20=(1+r)^3\implies \sqrt[3]{20}=1+r
\\\\\\
\sqrt[3]{20}-1=r\implies 1.7\approx r\qquad \boxed{A=2(2.7)^t}$

how many folks are there sick by t = 6? $\bf \stackrel{that~many}{A=2(2.7)^6}$

Vanyuwa [196]

Price, when purchased online: 1.30($160)
Price, when purchased at superstore: 1.40($160)

Difference in prices: 1.40($160) - 1.30($160) = 0.10($160) = $16

A higher markup brings a higher retail price.

What is a positive angle less than 360 degrees that is conterminal with 540 degrees

jekas [21]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have to determine a positive angle less than 360 degrees that is conterminal with 540 degrees.

Subtract 360° from 540°

540° - 360° = 180°

The resulting angle of 180° is positive, less than 360°, and coterminal with 540°.

Which of the following is a linear function?

Rama09 [41]

$\boxed{ \textbf{ \huge{Answer: A}}}$

A linear function has 1 as the highest power of the variable.

A. f(x) = 2 - 7x

here, the highest power of the variable x is 1.
Hence it is a LINEAR function.
___________

B. f(x) = 2 + x + x^2

here, the highest power of the variable x is 2.
Hence it is NOT a linear function.
_______________

$c.f(x) = \sqrt{2 + 7x}$
here, the highest power of the variable x is 1/2.
Hence it is NOT a linear function.
