$f(g(x))=x;\ f(x)=3x-4\\\\therefore3[g(x)]-4=x\ \ \ |add\ 4\ to\ both\ sides\\\\3[g(x)]=x+4\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\\\g(x)=\dfrac{x+4}{3}\\\\Answer:\boxed{B.\ g(x)=\dfrac{x+4}{3}}$

We can do reverse engineering to identify the function or expression of g(x). we can try each function as g(x).

a. f(g(x)) = 3*( (x-4)/3) – 4 = x-4-4 = x -8
b. f(g(x)) = 3*( (x+4)/3) <span>– 4 = x+ 4 -4 = x

Hence the answer should be B</span>

The equation of line A is y = 7x + 12. Line B is perpendicular to line A and passes through the point . What would be the soluti

max2010maxim [7]

Since B is perpendicular to A. We can say that the gradient of B will be -1/7 (product of the gradients of 2 perpendicular lines has to be -1).
Now we know that the equation for B is y=-(1/7)x + c with c being the y intercept.
Since the point isnt specified in the question, we could leave the equation like this.
But if there is a given point that B passes through, just plug in the x and y values into their respective places and solve to find c. That should give you the equation for b.
Now, to find the solution of x, we have 2 equations:
1) y=7x+12
2)y=-(1/7)x+c

In this simultaneous equation we see that y is equal to both the expressions. So,
7x+12=-(1/7)x+c

Now, since the value of c is not found, we cannot actually find the value of x, but if we would find c, we could also find x since it would only be a matter of rearranging the equation.
And there you go, that is your solution :)

A simple linear regression analysis was conducted to predict the Exam 3 score of students in STA 2023 based on their Exam 1 scor

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Option A) As the Exam 1 score increases by 1 point, the student's Exam 3 grade will increase, on average, by 0.4845 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the equation:

A simple linear regression analysis was conducted to predict the Exam 3 score of students in STA 2023 based on their Exam 1 score.

Thus, Exam 3 score becomes the dependent variable and exam 1 score is the independent variable.

The regression equation is given by:

$\hat{y} = 50.57+0.4845x$

Comparing the equation to a linear equation:

$y = mx + c$

m = 0.4845

c = 50.57

Where m is the slope and tells the rate of change and c is the y intercept that is the value of y when x is 0.

When, there is a increase in x, we can write:

$\hat{y}(x) = 50.57+0.4845x\\\hat{y}(x+1) = 50.57+0.4845(x+1)\\\hat{y}(x+1) - \hat{y}(x) = 50.57+0.4845(x+1)-(50.57+0.4845x)\\\hat{y}(x+1) - \hat{y}(x) = 0.4845$

Thus, the slope of equation can be interpreted as:

Option A) As the Exam 1 score increases by 1 point, the student's Exam 3 grade will increase, on average, by 0.4845 points.

Given the quadratic equation ax²-5b+4a=0, where a and b are constants has two real an equal roots,find a:b

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Therefore either a:b = 5:4 or a:b=-5:4

Step-by-step explanation:

ax²-5bx+4a=0

Since the quadratic equation has two real root.

Then b²-4ac>0

Here a= a , b= -5b and c=4a

∴(-5b)²-4.a.4a=0

⇔25b²=16a²

⇔5b=±4a

$\Leftrightarrow \frac{a}{b} =\pm\frac{5}{4}$

Therefore either a:b = 5:4 or a:b=-5:4
