Answer:

1/2 is the slope of the line

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope, use the following equation

slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

First, set each coordinate. Let:

(x₁ , y₁) = (8 , -6)

(x₂ , y₂) = (4 , -8)

Plug in the corresponding numbers for the corresponding variables.

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = (-8 - (-6))/(4 - 8)

Simplify. Note that two negative signs would result in a positive sign.

m = (-8 + 6)/(4 - 8)

Combine like terms.

m = -2/-4

Simplify. Divide common factors from both the numerator and denominator.

m = (-2/-4)/(-2/-2) = 1/2

1/2 is the slope of the line

If g(x)= 2x-1, and h(x)= square root of x, find (goh)(9)
loris [4]
(goh) = 2(x^1/2)-1
(goh)(9) = 2(9^1/2)-1
= 2(3)-1
= 6-1
= 5

1. Given f(x)=2x 2 +1 and g(x)=3x-5 find the following
LenKa [72]

The value of the function 1) f -g = 2x² - 3x + 6 and 2) f(g(2)) is 3.

Here the two functions are given, f(x) and g(x).

f(x) = 2x² + 1

g(x) = 3x - 5

We have to find f-g and f(g(2)).

1) f- g

f(x) - g(x)

(2x² + 1) - ( 3x - 5)

2x² + 1 - 3x + 5

2x² - 3x + 6

2) f(g(2))

f(g(x)) = 2(3x-5)² + 1

         = 2( 9x² - 30x + 25) + 1

         = 18x² - 60x + 50 + 1

         = 18x² - 60x + 51

f(g(2)) = 18(2)² - 60(2) + 51

          =18× 4 - 120 + 51

          = 72 - 120 + 51

          = 123 - 120

          = 3

Therefore the value of f-g is 2x²- 3x + 6 and the value of f(g(2)) is 3.

Answer:

  • h = 404.89 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Use tan to solve:</u>

  • tan = opposite leg /adjacent leg
  • tan 39 = h/500
  • h = 500 tan 39 deg
  • h = 404.89 ft

33 x 12 = 396 inches

then do 396-9.75 = 386.25in

to convert to ft, simply divide this answer by 12
