Answer:

a) Empty set

b) $\{x : x \in N \text{ and } x < 13\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Roster form is a comma separated list form of set.

a) The set of natural numbers x that satisfy x + 4 = 1.

$x + 4 = 1\\x = -3 \notin N$

Thus, x is an empty set.

b) set-builder notation for the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}.

We use x to represent this set. Now x belongs to natural number and is less than equal to 12.

Thus, it can be written as:

$\{x : x \in N \text{ and } x < 13\}$

A car that travels along the highway to Denver at a steady speed. When it begins, it is 300 miles from Denver. After 3 hours, it

umka21 [38]

Answer: $y=-40x+300$

Step-by-step explanation:

This car follows a line, hence its motion can be modeled by the Line equation.

In fact, we already have two points of the line, if we call $x$ the time in hours and $y$ the traveled distance in miles:

Point 1: $(x_{1},y_{1})=(0,300)$

Since we are told the car's initial position is 300 miles in the time 0 h

Point 2: $(x_{2},y_{2})=(3,180)$

Since we are told the car's final position is 180 miles after 3h

<u />

<u>Let's find the Slope $m$ : </u>

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$m=-40$ This is the slope of the line

Now, the equation of the line is:

$y=mx+b$

We already know the slope, now we have to find the intersection point with the y-axis ( $b$ ) with any of the given points. Let's choose Point 1: $(x_{1},y_{1})=(0,300)$

$300=-40(0)+b$

Isolating $b$ :

$b=-300$

Then, the equation of the line is:

$y=-40 x+300$

If the circumference of a circle is 84.5 ft, find the radius.

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

13.448, rounded off: 13.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

$r=\frac{C}{2\pi }$

Where r = radius, C = circumference.

$r=\frac{84.5}{2\pi } =13.448$ = 13.5 ft

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is the positive solution to the quadratic equation 0 = 2x2 + 3x – 8? Quadratic formula: x

OleMash [197]

ANSWER

$x=1.39$ to the nearest hundredth.

EXPLANATION

We have the equation,

$0=2x^2+3x-8$

Which can be rewritten as

$2x^2+3x-8=0$

The question demands the use of the quadratic formula.

Comparing this to the general quadratic equation;

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

$a=2,b=3,c=-8$

The quadratic formula is given by;

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

We now substitute all the values in to the formula;

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{(3)^2-4(2)(-8)}}{2(2)}$

We simplify to obtain;

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+64}}{4}$

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{73}}{4}$

We now split the plus or minus sign to obtain;

$x=\frac{-3-\sqrt{73}}{4}$

This implies that;

$x=-2.89$

$x=\frac{-3+\sqrt{73}}{4}$

This will evaluate to;

$x=1.39$

Hence, the positive solution rounded to the nearest hundredth is

$x \approx 1.39$

Simplify: -2/5 + 4/3

hoa [83]

Answer:

14/15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert the fractions to have the same denominator

Remember that you can only add fractions with the same denominator

To find the common denominator, find the LCM of 5 and 3 which is 15.

-2/5 * 3/3 = -6/15 and 4/3 * 5/5 = 20/15

-6/15 + 20/15 = 14/15

hope this helps! <3

Write an equation in slope-intercept form (0,2) (7,-1)

maksim [4K]

Answer:

y=-3/7x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

first formula (Slope): y2-y1/x2-x1

-1-2/7-0= -3/7

second formula (point slope): y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-2=-3/7(x-0)

(distribute the -3/7)

y-2=-3/7x-0

(add 2 to both sides)

y=-3/7x+2
