<span>As x > 0 increases, f(x) increases. As x < 0 decreases, f(x) increases.</span>
Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
Since f(x) varies directly with x, f(x) can be expressed alternatively as \[f(x) = k * x\] where k is a constant value.
Given that f(x) is 72 when the value of x is 6.
This implies, \[72 = k * 6\]
Simplifying and rearranging the equation to find the value of k:
k = \frac{72}{6}
Hence k = 12
Or, \[f(x) = 12 * x\]
When x = 3, \[f(x) = 12 *3 \]
Or in other words, the value of f(x) when x=3 is 36
7.846 decomposed is:
7 + 0.8 + 0.04 + 0.006
or, to see it more clearly:
7.000 + 0.800 + 0.040 + 0.006
Rounded to the nearest tenth: 7.8
Rounded to the nearest hundredth: 7.85
I hope that's what you meant :)
