Answers:

f(-3) = -1

f(-1) = 2

f(3) = 5

======================================

Explanations:

Draw a vertical line through -3 on the x axis. Make sure this vertical line crosses the orange graph. Mark this point of intersection and then draw a horizontal line from this point to the y axis. You should find that it touches -1 on the y axis. Check out the attached image to see this process in action.

Those steps basically say that x = -3 leads to y = -1. Since y = f(x), this means f(-3) = -1

Through similar steps, you should find that f(-1) = 2 and f(3) = 5

Note that the open hole/circle does not count. So if you land on an open hole, just keep going until you hit a closed circle on the other piece of the graph.

A) f (–3) = -1

B) f (–1) = 2

C) f (3) = 5

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Straight-line equations are mathematical equations that are described in the plane of cartesian coordinates

General formula

<h3>y-y1 = m (x-x1) </h3>

or

y = mx + c

Where

m = straight-line gradient which is the slope of the line

x1, y1 = the Cartesian coordinate that is crossed by the line

c = constant

The formula for a gradient (m) between 2 points in a line

m = Δy / Δx

or we can use:

\rm \dfrac{y-y_1}{y_2-y_1}=\dfrac{x-x_1}{x_2-x_1}

Piecewise Functions: functions that have different equations based on the input (x) value

We look for 3 pieces of function from the graph

1. graph 1 is a straight line that passes through 2 points : (-4.0) and (-1, -3) so that the straight line equation:

\rm \dfrac{y-0}{-3-0}=\dfrac{x+4}{-1+4}\\\\\dfrac{y}{-3}=\dfrac{x+4}{3}\\\\3y=-3(x+4)\\\\3y=-3x-12\\\\y=-x-4\Rightarrow \:for\:x

2. graph 2 is a straight line with the equation: \

\rm y=2\Rightarrow \:for\:-1\leq x

3. graph 1 is a straight line that passes through 2 points,  (3.5) and (5.1) so that the straight line equation  :

\rm \dfrac{y-5}{1-5}=\dfrac{x-3}{5-3}\\\\\dfrac{y-5}{-4}=\dfrac{x-3}{2}\\\\2(y-5)=-4(x-3)\\\\2y-10=-4x+12\\\\2y=-4x+22\\\\y=-2x+11\:\Rightarrow for\:x\geq   3

A function made up of 3 pieces:

a solid dot means "including",

an open dot means "not including"

\rm y=-x-4\:for\:x

\rm y=2\:for\:-1\leq x

\rm y=-2x+11\:for\:x\geq 3

A) f (–3) =

Because -3 <-1, the function used is y = -x-4, so

f (-3) = - (- 3) -4

f (-3) = 3-4

f (-3) = -1

B) f (–1) =

Because x = -1, the function used y = 2, so

f (-1) = 2

C) f (3) =

Because x = 3, the function used is = -2x + 11, so

f (3) = -2 (3) +11

f (3) = -6 + 11

f (3) = 5

Solve the system 3x+y=2 5x-y=8
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

x= 5/4 ; y= -7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

I will solve your system by substitution.

(You can also solve this system by elimination.)

3x+y=2;5x−y=8

Step: Solve3x+y=2for y:

3x+y+−3x=2+−3x(Add -3x to both sides)

y=−3x+2

Step: Substitute−3x+2foryin5x−y=8:

5x−y=8

5x−(−3x+2)=8

8x−2=8(Simplify both sides of the equation)

8x−2+2=8+2(Add 2 to both sides)

8x=10

8x

8

=

(Divide both sides by 8)

x=

Step: Substitute

6x + 3y = 33 4x + y = 15 A. x = 2, y = 7 B. x = -13, y = 7 C. x = - 2 3 , y = 12 2 3 D. x = 5, y = 1
klio [65]

6x+3y=33..........(1)

4x+y=15

y=15-4x.........(2)

substitute value of y from (2) in (1)

6x+3(15-4x)=33

distribute 3 over the bracket

6x+45-12x =33

-6x=33-45

-6x=-12

x=2

plugging this value of x in equation 2 we get

15-4x=y

15-4(2)=y

y=15-8

y=7

Answer is x=2 and y=7

A pair of equations is shown below:
Archy [21]

Slope Intercept Form - y = mx + b

First you need the slope or m which in the first equation is 6 and in the second is 5

Next the y-intercept or b which in the first equation is -4 and in the second is -3

Here is an image of both equation plotted on a graph where the first equation is purple and the second is green

Hope this helps, if you need anything else i will edit it in :)

edit: The to lines intercept at the point (1,2)

Sorry, i wasn't completely sure what you needed i haven't done this in a while. If you still need more, I'll try to help.

What is the simplified form of x+2/x^2-3x-10 * x-3/x^2+x-12
Vinvika [58]
I mean based on your possible answers, the third one is correct,but you can go further that that, in the steps i will note when you've came to the "answer"

\frac{x + 2}{  {x}^{2}  - 3x - 10  }  \times  \frac{x - 3}{ {x}^{2} + x - 12 }
\frac{x + 2}{ {x}^{2} + 2x - 5x - 10 }  \times  \frac{x - 3}{ {x}^{2} + 4x - 3x - 12 }
\frac{x + 2}{x(x + 2) - 5(x + 2)}  \times  \frac{x - 3}{x(x + 4) - 3(x + 4)}
\frac{x + 2}{(x + 2) \times (x - 5)}  \times  \frac{x - 3}{(x + 4) \times (x  - 3)}
\frac{1}{(x + 4) \times (x + 5)}
and basically that's the "answer", but you can simplify more.

\frac{1}{ {x}^{2}  + 4x - 5x - 20}
\frac{1}{ {x}^{2} - x - 20 }
Hope that's helpful
