If f(x) = [xl-5, what is f(8.6)?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  3 or 4, depending on the intended meaning of [x]

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps you mean ...

  \displaystyle f(x)= \lfloor x\rfloor -5\\\\f(8.6)=\lfloor 8.6\rfloor-5=8-5=3

__

On the other hand, perhaps you mean ...

  \displaystyle f(x)=\lceil x\rceil -5\\\\f(8.6)=\lceil 8.6\rceil-5=9-5=4

Grace [21]

Answer with step-by-step explanation:

The distance between Rockville and San Jose is 2407.2. Since there are 63360 inches in a mile, we divide it by 2, which is 31680. We multiply 2407.2 by 31680, and get 76260096.

Answer:

  f(x) = -1/2·10^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is -1/2.

The common ratio is (-1/20)/(-1/200) = 10, so the exponential function can be written as ...

  f(x) = -1/2·10^x

What is the range of the function y = |x |?<br> x ≥ 0<br> y ≥ 0<br> all real numbers
Marta_Voda [28]
<span>y ≥ 0 is the range of this absolute value expression because the absolute value means x can never go below 0 and range means the y value, which here is equivalent to |x|</span>

The first term in a geometric series is 64 and the common ratio is 0.75. Find the sum of the first 4 terms in the series.
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

195.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider geometric series  S(n) where initial term is a

So S(n)=a+ar^1+...ar^n

Factor out a

S(n)=a(1+r+r^2...+r^n)

Multiply by r

S(n)r=a(r+r^2+r^3...+r^n+r^n+1)

Subtract S(n) from S(n)r

Note that only 1 and rn^1 remain.

S(n)r-S(n)=a(r^n+1  -1)

Factor out S(n)

S(n)(r-1)=a(r^n+1  -1)

The formula now shows S(n)=a(r^n+1  -1)/(r-1)

Now use the formula for the problem
