Y=mx+b m=-1.25
(5; -3)
-3=(-1.25)5+b
-3=-6.25+b
b=-3+6.25
b=3.25
so the equation is: y=(-1.25)x+3.25

What are period and amplitude for the function

sweet [91]

Answer: Period: 4. Amplitude: 3

Step-by-step explanation: The period is how long it takes for one cycle of the function (one up and down). In this graph, one cycle ends at 4.

The amplitude is how far away the extremes of the graph are from the midline. This graph is a total of 6 units tall, making the amplitude 3. (I usually find total graph height and divide by 2.)

If a/\2+1/a/\2=11, then a+1/a=?

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

$\pm \sqrt{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bigg(a + \frac{1}{a} \bigg)^{2} = {a}^{2} + \frac{1}{ {a}^{2} } + 2 \times a \times \frac{1}{a} \\ \\ \bigg(a + \frac{1}{a} \bigg)^{2} = 11 + 2 \\ \\ \bigg(a + \frac{1}{a} \bigg)^{2} = 13 \\ \\ \bigg(a + \frac{1}{a} \bigg) = \pm \sqrt{13}$

How to find the circumference using 3.14

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

c = 2 * 3.14 * r and c = 3.14 * d

Step-by-step explanation:

The formulas for the circumference of a circle are

c = 2πr and c = πd

where r is the radius and d is the diameter

using π = 3.14

the formulas become

c = 2 * 3.14 * r and c = 3.14 * d
