How would I show 2/5 as a division problem? Please explain using complete sentences.

If you mean to ask how you divide 2 by 5, then consider instead dividing 20 by 5, then divide that result by 10 (which is as simple as moving a decimal point to the left)

We have 20/5 = 4, then 4/10 = 0.4.

Why does this work? All we're doing is multiplying by 1 in the form of 10/10, then moving around factors within the product:

2/5 = 2/5 * 10/10 = (2*10)/5 * 1/10 = 20/5 * 1/10 = 4/10 = 0.4

The tables below show two functions. For each set of data:

slamgirl [31]

The first table, representing f(x), is linear. The data have a constant rate of change or slope:
(between the first two points): m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (22-18)/(-1--2) = 4/(-1+2) = 4/1 = 4. The rate of change between any two points is the same:
(between the last two points): m = (34-30)/(2-1) = 4/1 = 4.

The second table, representing g(x), is exponential. The data points are multiplied by the same constant between successive points. 2*2 = 4; 4*2= 8; 8*2 = 16, etc.

There is no P in here, you can't solve for P without a P, Or I just don't get the question.

write a linear equation that intersects y=x^2 at two points. Then write a second linear equation that intersects y=x^2 at just o

Liula [17]

We know that $y = x^2$ is a parabola, concave up, with vertex in the origin $(0,0)$

So, we may use three horizontal lines for our purpose: any horizontal line above the x axis will intersect the parabola twice. The x axis itself intersects the parabola once on the vertex, while any horizontal line below the x axis won't intercept the parabola.

Here's the examples:

The horizontal line $y = 4$ intercepts the parabola twice: the system $y = x^2,\ y = 4$ is solved by $x^2=4 \implies x = \pm 2$
The horizontal line $y=0$ intercepts the parabola only once: the system is $y=x^2,\ y=0$ which yields $x^2=0\implies x=0$ which is a repeated solution
The horizontal line $y=-5$ intercepts the parabola only once: the system is $y=x^2,\ y=-5$ which yields $x^2=-5$ which is impossible, because a squared number can't be negative.
