ANSWER

$y = - 4x + 8$

EXPLANATION

The given line passes through (1,4) and (3,-4).

The slope of this line is calculated using the formula:

$m =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We substitute the points into the slope formula to get:

$m = \frac{ - 4 - 4}{3 - 1}$

$\implies \: m = \frac{ - 8}{2}$

$m = - 4$

We substitute the first point and slope into the point-slope formula

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

This implies that

$y - 4 = - 4(x - 1)$

We expand to get

$y - 4 = - 4x + 4$

$y = - 4x + 2/4+ 4$

$y = - 4x + 8$

Evaluate 3x2 - 1 when x = 2.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:C or 11

Step-by-step explanation:

3x²-1

First you insert x... which is 2

3(2)²-1

then you square the 2. (multiply it by itself)

3(4)-1

Then you multiply 3 by 4 to get 12

12-1

And then you subtract for your answer

Graph this rational equation. Identify the points of discontinuity, holes, vertical asymptotes, x-intercepts, and horizontal asy

irakobra [83]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

A rational function : f(x) = $\frac{x-2}{x-4}$

W need to find :

Point of discontinuity : - At x = 4, f(x) tends to reach infinity, So we get discontinuity point at x =4.

For no values of x, we get indetermined form (i.e $\frac{0}{0}$ ), Hence there is no holes

Vertical Asymptotes:

Plug y=f(x) = ∞ in f(x) to get vertical asymptote {We can us writing ∞ = $\frac{1}{0}$ }

i.e ∞ = $\frac{x-2}{x-4}$

or $\frac{1}{0}=\frac{x-2}{x-4}$

or x-4 =0

or x=4, Hence at x = 4, f(x) has a vertical asymptote

X -intercept :

Plug f(x)=0 , to get x intercept.

i.e 0 = $\frac{x-2}{x-4}$

or x - 2 =0

or x = 2

Hence at x=2, f(x) has an x intercept

Horizontal asymptote:

Plug x = ∞ in f(x) to get horizontal asymptote.

i.e f(x) = $\frac{x-2}{x-4}$ = $\frac{x(1-\frac{2}{x} )}{x(1-\frac{4}{x} )}$

or f(x) = $\frac{(1-\frac{2}{∞} )}{(1-\frac{4}{∞} )}$

or f(x) = 1 = y

hence at y =f(x) = 1, we get horizontal asymptote

What is the missing leg length of the hypotenuse 23 and the other leg is 11??

valentinak56 [21]

To find the 3rd side of a triangle, use the pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 11
b = ?
c = 23

11^2 + b^2 = 23^2
121 + b^2 = 529
b^2 = 408
b = √408 = 2 √102 = 20.199, 20.2, or 20

The answer can be any of those.
