The equation is y=mx+b.

Mathematics

ycow [4]3 years ago

Answer: both ways are acceptable

Step-by-step explanation: When writing equations of lines in this form,

we usually keep the "b" value or the constant term as a fraction.

However, if you prefer decimals, you can absolutely change

it to a decimal to visualize is better if you'd like, it's really your choice.

For example, if the equation of a line was y = -3/4x - 7/4, I could leave

it how it is or I could change the -7/4 to -1.75 giving me y = -3/4x - 1.75.

What is the y-value of the vertex of the function f(x)=−(x−3)(x+11)? −8 −4 33 49

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

y - value of the vertex is 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is f(x) = -(x - 3)(x + 11)

f(x) = -(x² - 3x + 11x - 33)

= -(x² + 8x - 33)

= -(x² + 8x + 16 - 49)

= -[(x + 4)² - 49]

= -(x + 4)² + 49

Comparing this equation with the vertex form of a quadratic function,

f(x) = -(x - h)² + k

Where (h, k) is the vertex of the function.

Vertex of the parabola is (-4, 49)

Therefore, y-value of the vertex is 49.

How do u solve two points using the distance formula?

aliya0001 [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

For two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the distance between them is:

d² = (x₁ − x₂)² + (y₁ − y₂)²

The order of points 1 and 2 don't matter. You can switch it:

d² = (x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²

This is basically the Pythagorean theorem for a coordinate system.

Let's do an example. If you have points (1, 2) and (4, 6), then the distance between them is:

d² = (4 − 1)² + (6 − 2)²

d² = 3² + 4²

d² = 9 + 16

d² = 25

d = 5

If you have points with negative coordinates, remember that subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive.

For example, the distance between (-1, -2) and (4, 10) is:

d² = (4 − (-1))² + (10 − (-2))²

d² = (4 + 1)² + (10 + 2)²

d² = 5² + 12²

d² = 25 + 144

d² = 169

d = 13

A horizontal trough is 16 m long, and its end are isosceles trapezoids with an altitude of 4 m, a lower base of 4 m, and an uppe

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

0.28cm/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the horizontal trough whose ends are isosceles trapezoid

Volume of the Trough =Base Area X Height

=Area of the Trapezoid X Height of the Trough (H)

The length of the base of the trough is constant but as water leaves the trough, the length of the top of the trough at any height h is 4+2x (See the Diagram)

The Volume of water in the trough at any time

$Volume=\frac{1}{2} (b_{1}+4+2x)h X H$

$Volume=\frac{1}{2} (4+4+2x)h X 16$

=8h(8+2x)

V=64h+16hx

We are not given a value for x, however we can express x in terms of h from Figure 3 using Similar Triangles

x/h=1/4

4x=h

x=h/4

Substituting x=h/4 into the Volume, V

$V=64h+16h(\frac{h}{4})$

$V=64h+4h^2\\\frac{dV}{dt}= 64\frac{dh}{dt}+8h \frac{dh}{dt}$

h=3m,

dV/dt=25cm/min=0.25 m/min

$0.25= (64+8*3) \frac{dh}{dt}\\0.25=88\frac{dh}{dt}\\\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{0.25}{88}$

=0.002841m/min =0.28cm/min

The rate is the water being drawn from the trough is 0.28cm/min.

If f(x) = 2x + 5x and g(x) = 3x - 5, find (f+ g)(x).

Papessa [141]

Answer:

D. 10x - 5

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Terms/Coefficients/Degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

f(x) = 2x + 5x

g(x) = 3x - 5

(f + g)(x) is f(x) + g(x)

Step 2: Simplify

f(x) = 7x

g(x) = 3x - 5

Step 3: Find

Substitute: (f + g)(x) = 7x + (3x - 5)
Combine like terms: (f + g)(x) = 10x - 5
