Answer:

a) look at the figure

b) i) x = 2.5 , y = 3

   ii) x-intercept is 2.333

   iii) y-intercept is 2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The points of the graph f(x) = 3+1/2x - 5 are:

f(-5) = 2.9333

f(-4) = 2.923

f(-3) = 2.909

f(-2) = 2.888

f(-1) = 2.857

f(0) = 2.8

f(1) = 2.666

f(2) = 2

f(3) = 4

f(4) = 3.333

f(5) = 3.2

b)

i) to find the vertical asymptotic put the denominator = 0

  2x - 5 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 5 ⇒ x = 5 ÷ 2 = 2.5

∴ The equation of the vertical asymptotic is x = 2.5

To find the horizontal asymptotic look at the degree of the numerator and denominator

∵ they are equal f(x) = (6x -14)/(2x - 5) ⇒ 6x ÷ 2x = 3

∴ The equation of the horizontal asymptotic is y = 3

ii) the value of x-intercept means put f(x) = 0

∴3 + 1/2x - 5 = 0 ⇒ 1/2x - 5 = -3 ⇒ -6x + 15 = 1 ⇒ 6x = 14

  x = 14/6 = 2.333

iii) The value of y-intercept means x = 0

∴ f(x) = 3 + 1/0 - 5 = 3 + (-0.2) = 2.8

A bakery used 38 pounds of flour to make French bread and
fomenos

Answer:

since we are not given the options, I will write down a few equations that represent the number of French bread loaves and bagels:

  • a = number of loaves of French bread
  • b = number of bagels
  • available amount of flour = 38

2a + b ≤ 38

2a ≤ 38 - b

a ≤ (38 - b) / 2

a ≤ 19 - 0.5b

b ≤ 38 - 2a

b ≤ 2(19 - a)

Hopefully one of these equations is one of the choices given to you.

Solve for q.<br> a=qb+r<br> What is q equal to?<br> q=a−r−b<br> q=a−r/b<br> q=a/b −r<br> q=a/rb
Mademuasel [1]

The given equation is a=qb+r

We need to solve the equation for q.

<u>Value of q:</u>

The value of q can be determined by solving the equation a=qb+r for q.

Thus, subtracting both sides of the equation by r, we get;

a-r=qb

Now, dividing both sides of the equation by b, we have;

\frac{a-r}{b}=\frac{qb}{b}

Simplifying the terms, we get;

\frac{a-r}{b}=q

Therefore, the value of q is q=\frac{a-r}{b}

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
