Three or more points are collinear, if slope of any two pairs of points is same. With three points A, B and C, three pairs of points can be formed, they are: AB, BC and AC. If Slope of AB = slope of BC = slope of AC, then A, B and C are collinear points
This probability is the same as 1-(two different suited cards). Your first card can be any of the 52 cards. Your second card must be any of the 39 different suited remaining 51 cards. So the answer is 1 - (52/52)(39-51). Note: I assumed there was no replacement.
Using this equation, f(3) = 23.
In order to find the value of f(3), we need to take the f(x) equation and put 3 everywhere we see x. Then we follow the order of operations to solve. So, let's start with the original.
f(x) = 2x^2 + 5sqrt(x - 2)
Now place 3 in for each x.
f(3) = 2(3)^2 + 5sqrt(3 - 2)
Now square the 3.
f(3) = 2(9) + 5 sqrt(3 - 2)
Do the subtraction inside of the parenthesis.
f(3) = 2(9) + 5sqrt(1)
Take the square root
f(3) = 2(9) + 5(1)
Multiply.
f(3) = 18 + 5
And add.
f(3) = 23
Hi there!
There are 3 parts to this equation:
f(x)
f(x+1)
4f(x)
We must first determine these three parts separately.
<u>1) f(x)</u>
We're given that 
:
⇒ :
<u>2) f(x+1)</u>
Now, we must find f(x+1). To do so, add 1 to x in the original function :
⇒ 
<u>3) 4f(x)</u>
To find 4f(x), multiply the original function by 4:
:
<u>4) Put it all together</u>
Now, plug each of the three parts into the equation :
Factor the left side
Divide both sides by 3^x
Because this equation is true, is therefore true.
I hope this helps!
