Answer:

f(x) = 5 - x has a negative slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

Y = mx + c is the general form for a straight line.

Whem m is negative the slope is negative

Consider f(x) = 5 - x

f(x) = -x + 5

- so the slope is negative.

For g(x) we see that g(x) increases with x so the slope id positive.

A scientist is studying the growth of a particular species of plant. He writes the following equation to show the height of the

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The average of rate was of 0.4314 cm/day, which means that on average, during this interval, the plant grew by 0.4314 cm each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change:

The average rate of change of a function f(x), from x = a to x = b, is given by:

$A = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

In this question:

$f(x) = 12(1.03)^n$

From n = 3 to n = 10

$a = 3, b = 10$

$f(b) = f(10) = 12(1.03)^{10} = 16.13$

$f(a) = f(3) = 12(1.03)^{3} = 13.11$

Average rate of change:

$A = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} = \frac{16.13-13.11}{10-3} = 0.4314$

The average of rate was of 0.4314 cm/day, which means that on average, during this interval, the plant grew by 0.4314 cm each day.

If 5b=6a+16 and 9a=7b-20, then what are the values of a and b? show work.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

a = 4, b = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite 5b=6a+16 and 9a=7b-20 vertically:

5b=6a+16

9a=7b-20

Let's use substitution. Solve the first equation for b:

6a + 16

b = --------------

Substitute this result into the second equation:

9a = 7(b) + 16, or

6a + 16

9a = 7*-------------- - 20

Eliminate the fraction by multiplying all three terms by 5:

45a = 7(6a + 16) - 100, or

3a = 112 - 100, or:

3a = 12, which leads to a = 4.

Find b by subbing 4 for a in either of the given equations:

5b = 6(4) + 16, or

5b = 40, leading to b = 8

The solution is a = 4, b = 8
