A dolphin is swimming to the surface of the ocean while at the same time a bird is flying towards the surface of the ocean. The

function fx) models the position, in feet, of the dolphin x seconds after it starts swimming towards the surface. The function models the dolphin's position for the first 5 seconds The function g (x) models the position, in feet, of the bird x seconds after the bird begins flying towards the surface. The function models the bird's position for the first 5 seconds. A partial table of values ​​for the two linear functions is shown. x f (x) g (x) 0.0-11 10 0.59 9 1.07 8 1.55 7 2.0 -3 6 2.5 -1 5 After how many seconds will the dolphin and bird be at the same position?

They are at the same position at 0.5 seconds because with respect to the ocean's surface, they are both 9 feet away.

Hope this helps!!

Answer:

The dolphin and bird be at the same position will be at the same position after 3.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a line is h(x) = m*x + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-axis interception. We can get m and b from data as follows. To get m, we need 2 points (x1,y1) and (x2, y2) and the next formula m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).  

For f(x), using (0.5, -9) and (0, -11)

m = (-9 - (-11))/(0.5 - 0) = 4

For g(x), using (0.5, 9) and (0, 10)  

m = (9 - 10)/(0.5 - 0) = -2

To get b, we need to see f(x) and g(x) values at x = 0. So, for f(x), b = -11 and for g(x), b = 10. Then,  

f(x) = 4*x - 11

g(x) = -2*x + 10

The dolphin and bird be at the same position when f(x) be equal to g(x). Mathematically :

f(x) = g(x)

4*x - 11 = -2*x + 10

4*x + 2*x = 10 + 11

6*x = 21

x = 21/6

x = 3.5 seconds

Which absolute value function, when graphed, will be wider than the graph of the parent function, f(x) = |x|?
Iteru [2.4K]

There is no absolute value function when graphed, will be wider than the graph of the parent function f(x) = |x|

<h3>What is an absolute value function?</h3>

An absolute value function is a function such that,

|x|=-1  when x\geq 0 and |x|=1 when x\leq 0

For the given example,

We have been given a parent function f(x) = |x|

We need to find the absolute value function, when graphed, will be wider than the graph of the parent function.

Consider the graph of all absolute value functions.

The graph of f(x) = |x| + 3 is represented blue color.

The graph of f(x) = |x − 6| is represented green color.

The graph of f(x) = |x| is represented red color.

The graph of f(x) = 9|x| is represented violet color.

From this graph, we can observe that,

f(x) = |x| + 3 is as wise as the parent absolute value function f(x) = |x| translated up by 3 units.

Similarly, the function f(x) = |x - 6| is as wise as the parent absolute value function f(x) = |x| translated right by 6 units.

This means, there is no absolute value function when graphed, which will be wider than the graph of the parent function f(x) = |x|
