Question:

Marty and Ethan both wrote a function, but in different ways.

Marty

y+3=1/3(x+9)

Ethan

x y

-4 9.2

-2 9.6

0 10

2 10.4

Whose function has the larger slope?

1. Marty’s with a slope of 2/3

2. Ethan’s with a slope of 2/5

3. Marty’s with a slope of 1/3

4. Ethan’s with a slope of 1/5

Answer:

Marty’s with a slope of 1/3 has the larger slope

Solution:

Given that Marty equation is:

$y + 3 = \frac{1}{3}(x+9)$

The point slope form is given as:

$y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)$

Where, "m" is the slope of line

On comapring both equations,

$m = \frac{1}{3}$

Ethan wrote a function:

Consider any two values from the table we have;

(0, 10) and (2, 10.4)

The slope is given by formula:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From above two points,

$(x_1, y_1) = (0, 10)\\\\(x_2, y_2) = (2, 10.4)$

Therefore,

$m = \frac{10.4-10}{2-0}\\\\m = \frac{0.4}{2} \\\\m = 0.2$

Thus we get,

$\text{Slope of Ethan} < \text{Slope of Marty}$

Therefore, Marty’s with a slope of 1/3 has the larger slope

Consider the given function.

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

D)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2 -14x -72

0=x^2 - 14x-72

0=x^2 - 18x+4x-72

0=x(x-18)+4(x-18)

0=(x-18)(x+4)

x-18=0 or x+4=0

x1=18 or x2=-4

asis of symmetry: x=(x1+x2)/2

x=(18+(-4))/2

x=14/2

x=7

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

Ahat [919]

Answer:

Cos θ = -4/5

Tan θ = -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as following:

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

Angle θ lies in the second quadrant, and sin θ =3/5.

cos θ = -4/5, -3/5, 3/5, 4/5

tan θ = -4/3, -3/4, 3/4, 4/3

==================================================

Since, the angle lies in second quadrant (negative x axis and positive y axis) we can deduce that cos θ is negative and tan θ is also negative.

If sin θ =3/5

$cos \ \theta =\sqrt{1-sin^2 \theta} = \sqrt{1-(\frac{3}{5} )^2} =\sqrt{1-\frac{9}{25} }=\sqrt{\frac{16}{25} } =\frac{4}{5}$

∴ Cos θ = -4/5 ⇒ because θ lies in the second quadrant.

And

Tan θ = (sin θ)/(cos θ) = (3/5) / (-4/5) = -3/4.

Solve for x ....... thanks !

Len [333]

If we can match teh bases we can solve
because if x=x and xᵃ=xᵇ, we can conclude that a=b

16=2⁴
32=2⁵
rememeber that $(x^m)^n=x^{mn}$

$16^{3x+2}=32^{-2x-7}$
$(2^4)^{3x+2}=(2^5)^{-2x-7}$
$2^{4(3x+2)}=2^{5(-2x-7)}$
2=2 so we conclude that 4(3x+2)=5(-2x-7)

4(3x+2)=5(-2x-7)
expand/distribute
12x+8=-10x-35
add 10x both sides
22x+8=-35
minus 8 both sides
22x=-43
divide both sides by 22
x=-43/22

For the past 25 days, jonathon has read for n minutes each day. His total number of minutes read is 875. Write an equation to ex

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Required equation is: 25n = 875

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number of minutes Jonathon read per day

Now

He read for 25 days and total 875 minutes

The equation will be:

$25n = 875$

We can solve this equation to find the number of minutes each day

Using Division property of Equality

$\frac{25n}{25} = \frac{875}{25}\\n = 35$

Hence,

Required equation is: 25n = 875
