Let f(x) = |x| / x , where x can be any real number except 0.

Mathematics

Answer: Hello there!

we have the function f(x) = IxI/x

Then this function can be piecewise writen as:

f(x) = 1 if x > 0

f(x) = -1 if x < 0

because:

suposse that n is a number greater than 0, then:

f(n) = InI/n = n/n = 1

and this is independent of the number n, so for all the positive values of x, we have f(x) = 1

and

f(-n) = I-nI/(-n) = n/(-n) = -1

and again, this does not depend on the value of n, so for all the negative values of x, we have f(x) = -1.

On the other hand, the Heaviside function is defined as:

H(x) = 1 if x>0

H(x) = 0 if x<0

Then the difference is that, when the Heaviside function takes the value of 0 for negative values of x, our function f(x) takes the value of -1 for negative values of x.

Hey there :)

We know the formula for simple interest is 
I = prt
{ The picture includes what each stands for }

Lehena:
Initial amount = $100
Interest rate = 2.5% = \frac{2.5}{100} = 0.025
Time = 3 years
I = ( 100 )( 0.025 )( 3 )
  = 7.5$

Total = $100 + $7.5 = $107.5

Marty:
Initial amount = $100
Interest rate = 2% = \frac{2}{100} = 0.02
Time = 3 years
I = ( 100 )( 0.02 )( 3 ) 
  = $6

Total = $100 + $6 = $106

How much more than Marty did Lehena receive?
= Total Amount of Lehena - Total Amount of Marty
= 107.5 - 106
= $1.5

Your answer will be option B) $1.50

Write an equation of the line passing through point P(−8, 0) that is perpendicular to the line 3x−5y = 6.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

y = -5/3 * x - 40/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A perpendicular line has an opposite and a reciprocal of the slope.

Your equation should be:

-5y = -3x +6

Divide all parts by -5.

y = 3/5x - 6/5

Since the perpendicular line has an opposite and a reciprocal of the slope, the slope will be -5/3.

Now you must make an equation in point-slope form. This is an example of that form. You will need at least one point to make this equation work. In this case we have (-8,0).

In put the y and x coordinates like this:

y - 0 = -5/3(x - (-8)

Start solving the equation.

y - 0 = -5/3(x + 8)

y - 0 = -5/3 * x - 40/3

y = -5/3 * x - 40/3

This is your equation.

y = -5/3 * x - 40/3

(You can make it -5/3x in your answer but it looks weird online. You may think that it is -5 divided by 3 times x, but it actually is 5/3 times x. That's why I wrote it as y = -5/3 * x - 40/3)

dybincka [34]
One pie costs 0.10
you are buying 40 pies so...
40 x 0.10 = $4

one cup of coffee costs 0.50
you are buying 20 coffee so...
20 x 0.50 = $10

$4 + $10 = $14

It costs $14 to buy 40 pieces of pie and 20 cups of coffee
