(y - yo) = m.(x - xo)

Let's go

(-1/n - (-1/m)) = s.(1 - n/m)

(-1/n + 1/m) = s.(1 - n/m)

(-m+n)/mn = s.(m - n)/m

If we multiply both sides by m

(-m + n)/n = s.(m - n)

If we take the (-1) from the left side we have

(-1.(m - n))/n = s.(m - n)

And if we divide both sides by (m - n)

-1/n = s

So our slope is -1/n

Which of the following equations represent nonlinear functions?

s2008m [1.1K]

y=5x^2+7 is Non-Linear Functions

Option B is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify Non-Linear Functions from the equations given.

First we will define Non-Linear Functions

<u>Linear Functions</u>

A function having exponent of variable equal to 1 or of the form y=c, where c is constant is called linear function.

<u>Non-Linear Functions</u>

A function that has variable having power greater than 1 (i.e 2 or above) is called non-linear function.

So, from all the options given, only Option B has power greater than 1 i.e 2. All remaining options are linear functions.

So, y=5x^2+7 is Non-Linear Functions

Option B is correct option.

Mr. Nelson lost one of his students' test

amid [387]

Complete question :

Mr. Nelson lost one of his students' test papers. He knows that the other 4 students scored as follows: 60, 62, 56, 57. He also knows that the average score is 59.2. What is the score on the missing paper?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Total number of students = 4 + 1 missing = 5

Score on the four avaliable papers = 60, 62, 56, 57

Average score of the 5 papers = 59.2

Score on missing paper :

Sum of each score / number of papers

Sum of each score = sum of available scores + missing score

Let missing score = m

(60 + 62 + 56 + 57 + m) = 235 + m

Recall:

Average = total sum / number of observations

Hence,

59.2 = (235 + m) / 5

59.2 × 5 = 235 + m

296 = 235 + m

m = 296 - 235

m = 61

Missing score = 61

Questions 16-17 | Math 1 - 0 points Solve the graph Help needed !!

Answer:

16) The area of the circle is 25.1 units²

17) JKLM is a parallelogram but not a rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

16) Lets talk about the area of the circle

- To find the area of the circle you must find the length of the radius

- In the problem you have the center of the circle and a point on

the circle, so you can find the length of the radius by using the

distance rule

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The center of the circle is (1 , 3)

∵ The point on the circle is (3 , 5)

- Using the rule of the distance between two points

* Lets revise it

- The distance between the two points (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) is:

Distance = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

∴ r = √[(3 - 1)² + (5 - 3)²] = √[4 + 4] = √8 = 2√2 units

∵ The area of the circle = πr²

∴ The area of the circle = π (2√2)² = 8π = 25.1 units²

* The area of the circle is 25.1 units²

17) To prove a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, prove that every

to sides are parallel or equal or the two diagonal bisect

each other

* The parallelogram can be rectangle if two adjacent sides are

perpendicular to each other (measure of angle between them is 90°)

or its diagonals are equal in length

- The parallel lines have equal slopes, then to prove the

quadrilateral is a parallelogram, we will find the slopes of

each opposite sides

* Lets find from the graph the vertices of the quadrilateral

∵ J = (0 ,2) , K (2 , 5) , L (5 , 0) , M (3 , -3)

- The opposite sides are JK , ML and JM , KL

- The slope of any line passing through point (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) is

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

∵ The slop of JK = (5 - 2)/(2 - 0) = 3/2 ⇒ (1)

∵ The slope of LM = (-3 - 0)/(3 - 5)= -3/-2 = 3/2 ⇒ (2)

- From (1) and (2)

∴ JK // LM

∵ The slope of KL = (0 - 5)/(5 - 2) = -5/3 ⇒ (3)

∵ The slope of JM = (-3 - 2)/(3 - 0)= -5/3 ⇒ (4)

- From (3) and (4)

∴ KL // JM

∵ Each two opposite sides are parallel in the quadrilateral JKLM

∴ It is a parallelogram

- The product of the slopes of the perpendicular line is -1

* lets check the slopes of two adjacent sides in the JKLM

∵ The slope of JK = 3/2 and the slope of KL = -5/3

∵ 3/2 × -5/3 = -5/2 ≠ -1

∴ JKLM is a parallelogram but not a rectangle

What is the 8th term of the geometric sequence 8,16,32

ratelena [41]

the 8th term of the geometric sequence 8, 16, 32 is 1024

<h2>Explanation</h2>

geometric sequence 8, 16, 32

<u>the </u><u>question</u><u> </u><u>is</u>

the 8th term

<u>the </u><u>answer </u><u>is</u>

first we have to find the ratio

$\sf r= \frac{ U_2}{U_1} \\ \sf r= \frac{ 16}{8} \\ \sf r = 2$

than, we have to find the 8th term

$\sf U_n = ar^{n-1} \\ \sf U_8 = 8 \times 2^{8-1} \\ \sf U_8 = 8 \times 2^7 \\ \sf U_8 = 8 \times 128 \\ \bold {\sf U_8 = 1024}$
