Hello!

Answer:

$\boxed{X=-17}$

*The answer must have a NEGATIVE sign!*

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you divide by -2 from both sides of an equation.

$\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{34}{-2}$

Then, you divide by the numbers from left to right.

$34/-2=-17$

$\boxed{X=-17}$ , which is our the correct answer.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)

Thank you!

To solve:

-2x = 34
----- -----
-2 -2

(-2x means -2 times x, so to undo this we need to divide by -2 on both sides)

x = -17

Then you do basic division (knowing that a positive divided by a negative results in a negative answer). And that's it!

Naily [24]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation}\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=kx\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
\stackrel{frequency}{f}\textit{ of a vibrating string varies directly}\\
\qquad \qquad \textit{with the square root of the tension }\stackrel{tension}{t}
\end{array}$

$\bf f=k\sqrt{t}\quad \textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
f=300\\
t=8
\end{cases}\implies 300=k\sqrt{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{300}{\sqrt{8}}=k\implies \cfrac{300}{\sqrt{2^2\cdot 2}}=k\implies \cfrac{300}{2\sqrt{2}}=k\implies \cfrac{150}{\sqrt{2}}=k
\\\\\\
\textit{and we can \underline{rationalize} it to }\cfrac{150\sqrt{2}}{2}\implies 75\sqrt{2}=k$

$\bf thus\qquad f=\stackrel{k}{75\sqrt{2}}\sqrt{t}\implies \boxed{f=75\sqrt{2t}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{now, when t = 72, what is \underline{f}?}\qquad f=75\sqrt{2(72)}$

Which of these statements best describes the relation shown in Item 1?

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

It is a many-to-one relation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for relation

Required

What type of function is it?

The relation can be represented as:

$\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\ \\-5\\-2\\1\\5\end{array}\right]$ $\left[\begin{array}{c}y\\ \\10\\11\\4\\10\end{array}\right]$

Where

$x = domain$ and $y = range$

Notice that the range has an occurrence of 10 (twice)

i.e.

$(x_1,y_1) = (-5,10)$ and $(x_2,y_2) = (5,10)$

In function and relations, when two different values in the domain point to the same value in the range implies that, the relation is many to one.
