Answer:

{-2, -14, -26, -50}

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of the function is the function evaluated at each point of the given domain. So to find the range of the function we need to find the value of the function for each point in the domain:

- For x = -8

$f(x)=-2x-18$

$f(-8)=-2(-8)-18$

$f(-8)=16-18$

$f(-8)=-2$

The first value of the range of the function is -2

- For x = -2

$f(x)=-2x-18$

$f(-2)=-2(-2)-18$

$f(-2)=4-18$

$f(-2)=-14$

The second value of the range is -14

- For x = 4

$f(x)=-2x-18$

$f(4)=-2(4)-18$

$f(4)=-8-18$

$f(4)=-26$

Th third values of the range is -26

- For x = 16

$f(x)=-2x-18$

$f(16)=-2(16)-18$

$f(16)=-32-18$

$f(16)=-50$

The fourth and last value of the range is -50

Now we can put all the values of the range together

The range of the function is {-2, -14, -26, -50}

solniwko [45]

The relationship between the percentage of frozen citrus crop, and the cost of box of oranges is an illustration of a linear function.

The linear equation of the function is: $g(P) = 22.9P+7$ .
The inverse function is: $g^{-1}(c) = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$ .
A practical domain is from 0% to 100%
A practical range is from 7 to 29.9

A. Input quantity

The input quantity is the percentage of frozen citrus crop

B. Output quantity

The output quantity is the cost of box of oranges

C. The linear function

We have:

$(P_1,c_1) = (20\%,11.58)\\(P_2,c_2) = (80\%,25.32)$

Calculate the slope of the function

$m = \frac{c_2 - c_1}{P_2 - P_1}$

$m = \frac{25.32 - 11.58}{80\%-20\%}$

$m = \frac{13.74}{60\%}$

$m = 22.9$

The linear equation is calculated as follows:

$c -c_1 = m(P-P_1)$

$c -11.58= 22.9(P-20\%)$

$c-11.58 = 22.9P-4.58$

D. Rewrite as y = mx + b

We have:

$c-11.58 = 22.9P-4.58$

Collect like terms

$c = 22.9P - 4.58 + 11.58$

$c = 22.9P+7$

The function is:

$g(P) = 22.9P+7$

E. A practical domain

The domain is the possible values of P. Because P is a percentage, its possible values are 0% to 100%.

The domain of the function is: $[0\%,100\%]$

F. A practical range

When P = 0%

$c = 22.9 \times 0\% + 7 = 7$

When P = 100%

$c = 22.9 \times 100\% + 7 = 29.9$

Hence, the range of the function is: $[7,29.9]$

G. The meaning of $g^{-1}(12)$

The inverse function of g(P) is $g^{-1}(P)$

So:

$g^{-1}(12)$ is the percentage of frozen citrus crop, when the cost is $12.

H. The inverse formula

We have:

$c = 22.9P+7$

Subtract 7 from both sides

$c - 7 = 22.9P$

Make P the subject

$P = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$

So, the inverse formula is:

$g^{-1}(c) = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$

Substitute 12 for c

$g^{-1}(12) = \frac{1}{22.9}(12 - 7)$

$g^{-1}(12) = \frac{1}{22.9} \times 5$

$g^{-1}(12) = 22\%$

A miniature quadcopter is located at xi = −1.75 m and yi = −5.70 m at t = 0 and moves with an average velocity having components

Black_prince [1.1K]

The quadcopter's average velocity is given in terms of change in position by

$\vec v_{\rm av}=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}\,\vec\imath+\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta t}\,\vec\jmath$

where $\Delta x=x_f-x_i$ , the difference in the quadcopter's final and initial positions and $\Delta t=(1.60-0)\,\mathrm s=1.60\,\mathrm s$ .

The $x$ -component of the average velocity is 2.70 m/s, so

$2.70\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}=\dfrac{x_f-(-1.75\,\mathrm m)}{1.60\,\rm s}\implies \boxed{x_f=2.57\,\mathrm m}$

and the $y$ -component is -2.50 m/s, so

$-2.50\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}=\dfrac{y_f-(-5.70\,\mathrm m)}{1.60\,\rm s}\implies\boxed{y_f=-9.70\,\mathrm m}$

Is it a function or not a function

BigorU [14]

Answer:

This is NOT a function. Because if you used the vertical line test it would hit that line 2 times.

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is the positive solution to the quadratic equation 0 = 2x2 + 3x – 8? Quadratic formula: x

OleMash [197]

ANSWER

$x=1.39$ to the nearest hundredth.

EXPLANATION

We have the equation,

$0=2x^2+3x-8$

Which can be rewritten as

$2x^2+3x-8=0$

The question demands the use of the quadratic formula.

Comparing this to the general quadratic equation;

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

$a=2,b=3,c=-8$

The quadratic formula is given by;

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

We now substitute all the values in to the formula;

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{(3)^2-4(2)(-8)}}{2(2)}$

We simplify to obtain;

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+64}}{4}$

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{73}}{4}$

We now split the plus or minus sign to obtain;

$x=\frac{-3-\sqrt{73}}{4}$

This implies that;

$x=-2.89$

$x=\frac{-3+\sqrt{73}}{4}$

This will evaluate to;

$x=1.39$

Hence, the positive solution rounded to the nearest hundredth is

$x \approx 1.39$
