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

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

Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that passes through (-1, -2) and (3, 4)
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation  is:

  • y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

Given the points

  • (-1, -2)
  • (3, 4)

Determining the slope between (-1, -2) and (3, 4)

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-1,\:-2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(3,\:4\right)

m=\frac{4-\left(-2\right)}{3-\left(-1\right)}

m=\frac{3}{2}

Thus, the slope of the line is:

m = 3/2

substituting m = 3/2 and the point (3, 4) in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

4=\frac{3}{2}\left(3\right)+b

switch sides

\frac{3}{2}\left(3\right)+b=4

\frac{9}{2}+b=4

subtract 9/2 from both sides

\frac{9}{2}+b-\frac{9}{2}=4-\frac{9}{2}

b=-\frac{1}{2}

now substituting m = 3/2 and b = -1/2 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:+\:\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)

y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the line equation  is:

  • y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-\frac{1}{2}

The owner of a cattle ranch would like to fence in a rectangular area of 3000000 m^2 and then divide it in half with a fence dow
Reika [66]
If you notice the picture below, the amount of fencing, or perimeter, that will be used will be 3w + 2l

now    \bf \begin{cases}&#10;A=l\cdot w\\\\\&#10;A=3000000\\&#10;----------\\&#10;3000000=l\cdot w\\\\&#10;\frac{3000000}{w}=l&#10;\end{cases}\qquad thus&#10;\\\\\\&#10;P=3w+2l\implies P=3w+2\left( \cfrac{3000000}{w} \right)\implies P=3w+\cfrac{6000000}{w}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;P=3w+6000000w^{-1}\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;now\qquad \cfrac{dP}{dw}=3-\cfrac{6000000}{w^2}\implies \cfrac{dP}{dw}=\cfrac{3w^2-6000000}{w^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{so the critical points are at }&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;0=w^2\\\\&#10;0=\frac{3w^2-6000000}{w^2}&#10;\end{cases}

solve for "w", to see what critical points you get, and then run a first-derivative test on them, for the minimum

notice the 0=w^2\implies 0=w   so.  you can pretty much skip that one, though is a valid critical point, the width can't clearly be 0

so.. check the critical points on the other
