Enter the correct answer in the box. Write your answer in the form y = mx + b, using the appropriate inequality symbol in place

Afina-wow [57]

Step-by-step explanation:

the delimiter line is going through the points (-4, 0) and (0, -4).

the line function

y = mx + b

m is the slope of the line, b is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0).

the slope is the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point to another.

so, for the 2 found points :

x changes by +4 (from -4 to 0)

y changes by -4 (from 0 to -4).

the slope m is then

-4/+4 = -1

and the y-intercept is -4 (as explained).

so, the line is

y = -x - 4

and the graphic says that all values greater than our equal to the line values are valid, so

y >= -x - 4

Х- а<br>x-b<br>If f(x) = b.x-a÷b-a + a.x-b÷a - b<br>Prove that: f (a) + f(b) = f (a + b)

GenaCL600 [577]

Given:

Consider the given function:

$f(x)=\dfrac{b\cdot(x-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot(x-b)}{a-b}$

To prove:

$f(a)+f(b)=f(a+b)$

Solution:

We have,

$f(x)=\dfrac{b\cdot(x-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (x-b)}{a-b}$

Substituting $x=a$ , we get

$f(a)=\dfrac{b\cdot(a-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a-b)}{a-b}$

$f(a)=\dfrac{b\cdot 0}{b-a}+\dfrac{a}{1}$

$f(a)=0+a$

$f(a)=a$

Substituting $x=b$ , we get

$f(b)=\dfrac{b\cdot(b-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (b-b)}{a-b}$

$f(b)=\dfrac{b}{1}+\dfrac{a\cdot 0}{a-b}$

$f(b)=b+0$

$f(b)=b$

Substituting $x=a+b$ , we get

$f(a+b)=\dfrac{b\cdot(a+b-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a+b-b)}{a-b}$

$f(a+b)=\dfrac{b\cdot (b)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a)}{-(b-a)}$

$f(a+b)=\dfrac{b^2}{b-a}-\dfrac{a^2}{b-a}$

$f(a+b)=\dfrac{b^2-a^2}{b-a}$

Using the algebraic formula, we get

$f(a+b)=\dfrac{(b-a)(b+a)}{b-a}$ $[\because b^2-a^2=(b-a)(b+a)]$

$f(a+b)=b+a$

$f(a+b)=a+b$ [Commutative property of addition]

Now,

$LHS=f(a)+f(b)$

$LHS=a+b$

$LHS=f(a+b)$

$LHS=RHS$

Hence proved.

Answer:

$f(x)=2(x-2)(x^2+64)$

Step-by-step explanation:

A standard polynomial in factored form is given by:

$f(x)=a(x-p)(x-q)...$

Where <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> are the zeros.

We want to find a third-degree polynomial with zeros <em>x</em> = 2 and <em>x </em>= -8i and equals 320 when <em>x </em>= 4.

First, by the Complex Root Theorem, if <em>x</em> = -8i is a root, then <em>x </em>= 8i must also be a root.

Therefore, we acquire:

$f(x)=a(x-(2))(x-(-8i))(x-(8i))$

Simplify:

$f(x)=a(x-2)(x+8i)(x-8i)$

Expand the second and third factors:

$=(x+8i)x+(x+8i)(-8i)\\\\=(x^2+8ix)+(-8ix-64i^2)\\\\=(x^2)+(8ix-8ix)+(-64i^2)\\\\=x^2-64(-1)\\\\ =x^2+64$

Hence, our function is now:

$f(x)=a(x-2)(x^2+64)$

It equals 320 when <em>x</em> = 4. Therefore:

$320=a(4-2)(4^2+64)$

Solve for <em>a</em>. Evaluate:

$320=(2)(80)a$

So:

$320=160a\Rightarrow a=2$

Our third-degree polynomial equation is:

$f(x)=2(x-2)(x^2+64)$
