<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

C) They both have the same y-intercept.

<h2>Why?</h2>

In order to find the correct option, we need to find the equation of the function g(x), and then, compare its y-intercept with the y-intercept of the f(x) function.

So,

- Finding the equation of the g(x):

Calculating the slope of the function, using the first two points (-1,8) and (1,0), we have:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\m=\frac{0-8}{1-(-1)}=\frac{-8}{2}=-4

Now, calculating the value of "b" using the first point (-1,8)  and the slope of the function, we have:

y=mx+b

y=-x+b

8=-4(-1)+b

b=4

So, the equation of g(x) is:

y=-4x+4

- Comparing the y-intercepts of f(x) and g(x):

Finding the y-intercept of f(x),  by making "x" equal to 0, we have:

y=x+4\\\\y=4

We have that the function f(x) has its y-intercept at "y" equal to 4.

Finding the y-intercept of g(x), by making "x" equal to 0, we have:

y=-4x+4

y=-4*(0)+4

y=4

We have that the function g(x) has its y-intercept at "y" equal to 4.

Hence, we have that both functions have their y-intercepts at the same point, so, the correct option is:

C) They both have the same y-intercept.

Have a nice day!

Answer:

D) The relationship between y-intercepts cannot be determined.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given two different functions f(x) and g(x). Now we need to find about what can be determined about their y-intercepts. Then match with the correct choice from the given choices:

A) The function f(x) has a higher y-intercept.

B) The function g(x) has a higher y-intercept.

C) They both have the same y-intercept.

D) The relationship between y-intercepts cannot be determined.

We know that y-intercept is the y of function value when x=0.

In the table of g(x), we don't see any point that has x=0

So we can't find the y-intercept for g(x)

Hence correct choice is :

D) The relationship between y-intercepts cannot be determined.

Karen claps her hand and hears the echo from a distant wall 0.113 s later. How far away is the wall? The speed of sound in air i
insens350 [35]

Answer:

19.3795 m

Step-by-step explanation:

If sound travels at 343 m/s and it took Karen 0.113 s to hear the echo from the wall, the distance travelled by the sound is:

D=343\frac{m}{s} *0.113\ s\\D= 38.759\ m

Note that the distance calculated above is the distance travelled from Karen to the wall and then back from the wall to Karen. Therefore, the distance between Karen and the wall is:

d=\frac{38.759}{2}\\d=19.3795\ m

The wall is 19.3795 m away from Karen.
