If you add 1/3 of a number to the number itself, you get 16. What is the number?

Let, the number = x
x/3 + x = 16
x+3x /3 = 16
4x = 16*3
x = 48/4
x = 12

So, the number would be 12

Hope this helps!

Write an equation for each linear function described. Show your work. The graph of the function passes through the point (2,1),

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the function passes through the point (2,1), and

y increases by 4 when x increases by 1.

2 1

5 13

6 17

and so on

From the table:

$\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(2,\:1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(3,\:5\right)$

$m=\frac{5-1}{3-2}$

$m=4$

As the slope-intercept form of the line is

$y=mx+b$

putting m=4 and any point, let say (2, 1) to find y-intercept 'b'.

$1=\left(4\right)2+b$

$8+b=1$

$8+b-8=1-8$

$b=-7$

So putting $b=-7$ and $m=4$ in the slope-intercept form of the line

$y=\left(4\right)x+\left(-7\right)$

$y=4x-7$

Therefore, the equation for the linear function will be:

$y=4x-7$

The function f(x) = { x + 1 is used to complete this Which statements are true of the given function? Check all that apply. tabl

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Options (1) and (5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression that defines the function is,

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{3}{2}$

Option 1

$f(-\frac{1}{2})=\frac{1}{2}(-\frac{1}{2})+\frac{3}{2}$

$=-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{2}$

$=-\frac{1}{4}+1+\frac{1}{2}$

$=1+\frac{1}{4}$

$=1\frac{1}{4}$

So, $f(-\frac{1}{2} )=-2$ is false.

Option 2

f(0) = $\frac{1}{2}(0)+\frac{3}{2}$

= $\frac{3}{2}$

True.

Option 3

f(1) = $\frac{1}{2}(1)+\frac{3}{2}$

= $\frac{3+1}{2}$

= 2

Therefore, f(1) = -1 is false.

Option 4

$f(2)=\frac{1}{2}(2)+\frac{3}{2}$

$=1+1+\frac{1}{2}$

$=2\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, f(2) = 1 is false.

Option 5

f(4) $=\frac{1}{2}(4)+\frac{3}{2}$

$=2+\frac{3}{2}$

$=\frac{4+3}{2}$

$=\frac{7}{2}$

True.

Options (1) and (5) are the correct options.

I NEED IT ASAP AS WELL THANKS!

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

B, The initial number of bacteria increases at a rate of 24% each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the answer is B because it is the one that closely matches the problem. 312 is multiplied by 1.24 with an exponent. Just eyeballing it, it's multiplied by itself and then an increase of 24%. Also, none of the other statements seem to be correct, D not even making sense in the scope of the problem. Hope this helps, good luck.
