Evaluate each expression for t = 0, x = 1.5, y = 6, and z = 23
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

1. 11

2. 20

3. 34

4. 12.6

5. 18

6. 105

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that ---> t = 0, x = 1.5, y = 6, and z = 23

1. y + 5

= 6 + 5

= 11

2. z - 2x

= 23 - 2(1.5)

= 23 - 3

= 20

3. 2z - 2y

= 2(23) - 2(6)

= 46 - 12

= 34

4. 2.6y - 2x

= 2.6(6) - 2(1.5)

= 15.6 - 3

= 12.6

5. 4(y - x)

= 4(6 -  1.5)

= 24 - 6

= 18

6. 4(2 + z) + 5

= 4(2 + 23) + 5

= 8 + 92 + 5

= 105

HELP ME PLEASE!!! URGENT!!
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

See how the bottom of the line F(x) just drops off? That means there isn't an even decline, meaning even the inverse would have an uneven slope.

This line cannot be a function, no matter which way you turn it.
