1.4x = 48
Solve for x
x = 48/1.4

x = 34.2857

Percent means parts out of 100
140%=140/100=1.4
'of' means multiply
'is' means =
140% of what is 48 means
1.4 times what=48
divide both sides by 1.4
what=34.285714285714285714285714...

Answer:

$a)\ f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cccc}-x+2&for&x\in(0,\ 2]&/0$

$b)\ f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cccc}-3x-3&for&x\in(-1,\ 0]&/-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

These are graphs of piecewise functions.

Each part is a graph of the linear function.

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept → (0, b)

The formula of a slope:

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

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

Part 1:

Points (0, 2) → b = 2, and (2, 0).

Calculate the slope:

$m=\dfrac{0-2}{2-0}=\dfrac{-2}{2}=-1$

Put the value of m and b to the equation of a line:

$(1)\ y=-1x+2=-x+2$

Part 2:

Points (2, 1) and (5, 0).

Calculate the slope:

$m=\dfrac{0-1}{5-2}=\dfrac{-1}{3}=-\dfrac{1}{3}$

Put the value of the slope and the coordinates of the point (5, 0) to the equation of a line:

$0=-\dfrac{1}{3}(5)+b$

$0=-\dfrac{5}{3}+b$ add 5/3 to both sides

$\dfrac{5}{3}=b$

Therefore we have:

$y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x+\dfrac{5}{3}$

The domain of the function is (0, 2] and (2, 5].

Formula of the piecewise function:

$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cccc}-x+2&for&x\in(0,\ 2]&/0$

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

We solve the same as in a) in Part 1

Part 1:

(-1, 0), (0, -3) → b = -3

$m=\dfrac{-3-0}{0-(-1)}=\dfrac{-3}{1}=-3$

$y=-3x-3$

Part 2:

(0, 3) → b = 3, (2, -1)

$m=\dfrac{-1-3}{2-0}=\dfrac{-4}{2}=-2$

$y=-2x+3$

Domain: (-1, 0] and (0, 2].

$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cccc}-3x-3&for&x\in(-1,\ 0]&/-1$

Please help !!! I need help with all.

alexira [117]

5 is not a function because if you draw a vertical line then it touches twice which is not a function

6 is a function

7 is not a function because there are 2 of the same inputs

8 is a function because it passes the vertical line test

9 is not a function

10 is a function

Hopefully that helped!
