#5 is very nicely and correctly done.
#7 says: "No matter what X may be, this function of it is always 9 more than 1/2 of X .".
That's a very powerful statement. Now you know that if X is ever 2, the function will be 1/2(2)+9 which is 10.
If X is ever zero, the function will be 1/2(0)+9 which is 9. If X is ever a cow, the function will be 1/2 of a cow, plus the number 9. Which makes no sense, but that's what the function says.
So, when X is -8, the function is 1/2 of -8, plus 9. Which is 5 ... the 'f' of -8.
Whatever X happens to be at the moment, just write that number in place of X in the function, and it'll show you the function of what X is.
f(a bazillion) = 1/2(a bazillion) + 9 .
f(a-28) = 1/2(a-28) + 9 (but simplify it)
Answer:
The angle is about 30.27 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the trig ratio cosine because you are given the adjacent leg and the hypotenuse.

Plug into a calculator
Rounded to the nearest hundredth the angle is 30.27 degrees.
Find the common denominators. for the miles 5 and 3 go into 15. so 2/5 times 3 is 6/15. and 2/3 times 5 is 10/15. for the hours 5 and 9 go into 45. 1/5 times 9 is 9/45. and 2/9 times 5 is 10/45. so Susan ran 6/15 of a mile in 9/45 of an hour. and Kim ran 10/15 of a mile in 10/45 of an hour.
so Kim ran 3 miles in an hour. Susan ran 2 miles in an hour.
Answer:
1 2/4 or 1.5
Explanation:
There are 4 quarts in a gallon, and 2 left over add 1/2 to the full gallon. So, 1 gallon, plus 2 quarts, which is equal to 1/2 gallon, is 1.5 gallons :D
Hope this helped!
