Answer:

we need at least 17 - card deck

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given :

We can attempt to solve the question by using pigeonhole principle;

"The pigeonhole principle posits that if more than n pigeons are placed into n pigeonholes some pigeonhole must contain more than one pigeon"

Thus; the minimum number of pigeon; let say at least n pigeons sit on at least one same hole among m hole can be represented by the formula:

m(  n - 1 ) + 1

where ;

pigeons are synonymous to card

pigeonholes  are synonymous to suits

So; m = 4 ; n = 5

∴  4 (5 -1 ) + 1 ⇒ 4 (4) + 1

= 16 + 1

= 17

Hence; we need at least 17 - card deck

Suppose y varies directly with x. if y=-3 when x=5 find y when x=-1
Scrat [10]
\bf \begin{array}{cccccclllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies directly to}&&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&{{ \textit{some value}}}&\cdot &\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
y&=&{{ k}}&\cdot&x

&&  y={{ k }}x
\end{array}
\\ \quad \\
\textit{we know that, when}
\begin{cases}
y=-3\\
x=5
\end{cases}\implies y=kx\implies (-3)=k(5)

solve for "k", to find the "constant of variation",
then plug it back in the y = kx, to get the equation
now
what's is y when x = -1?
well, just plug that in the equation with the found "k" value,
to get "y" :)

Y=1/2x-1
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

<h2>Y=1/2x-1</h2>

Find where the expression

1/2x−1 is undefined.

x=1/2

Consider the rational function

R(x)=ax^n/bx^m where n is the degree of the numerator and m is the degree of the denominator.

1. If n<m, then the x-axis, y=0, is the horizontal asymptote.

2. If n=m, then the horizontal asymptote is the line y = ab.

3. If n>m, then there is no horizontal asymptote (there is an oblique asymptote).

Find n and m.n=0m=1

Since n<m, the x-axis, y=0, is the horizontal asymptote.y=0

There is no oblique asymptote because the degree of the numerator is less than or equal to the degree of the denominator.

No Oblique Asymptotes

This is the set of all asymptotes.

Vertical Asymptotes:

x=1/2

Horizontal Asymptotes:

y=0

No Oblique Asymptotes

<h2>2x+y=4</h2>

Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation.

y=4−2x

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is

y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y=mx+b

Reorder 4 and −2x.

y=−2x+4

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Find the values of m and b using the form

y=mx+b.

m= - 2b=4

The slope of the line is the value of m, and the y-intercept is the value of b.

Slope: −2

y-intercept: (0,4)

Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two x values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y

values.

Find the x-intercept.

x-intercept(s):

(2,0)

Find the y-intercept.

y-intercept(s):

(0,4)

Create a table of the x and y values.

x y

0 4

2 0

Graph the line using the slope and the y-intercept, or the points.

Slope: −2

y-intercept:

(0,4)

Step-by-step explanation:
