Answer:

The function is f(x) = $\frac{3}{2}$ x + $\frac{9}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of a linear function is $y-y_{1}=m(x - x_{1})$ , where

m is the slope of the graph (rate of change)
( $x_{1}$ , $y_{1}$ ) is a point on the line (the line passes through it)

∵ The function has a rate of change $\frac{3}{2}$

- The rate of change is the slope of the graph

∴ m = $\frac{3}{2}$

∵ The graph is passes through point (4 , 10.5)

∴ $x_{1}$ = 4 and $y_{1}$ = 10.5

Substitute m and the coordinates of the point in the form of the equation

∵ $y-y_{1}=m(x - x_{1})$

∴ y - 10.5 = $\frac{3}{2}$ (x - 4)

Simplify the right hand side

∴ y - 10.5 = $\frac{3}{2}$ (x) - $\frac{3}{2}$ (4)

∴ y - 10.5 = $\frac{3}{2}$ x - 6

Add 10.5 to both sides

∴ y = $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 4.5

∵ 4.5 = $\frac{9}{2}$

∴ y = $\frac{3}{2}$ x + $\frac{9}{2}$

∵ y = f(x)

∴ f(x) = $\frac{3}{2}$ x + $\frac{9}{2}$

The function is f(x) = $\frac{3}{2}$ x + $\frac{9}{2}$

Answer:

g(20) > f(20)
g(x) exceeds f(x) for any x > 4

Step-by-step explanation:

As with most graphing problems not involving straight lines, it works well to start with a table of values. Pick a few values of x and compute f(x) and g(x) for those values. Plot the points and draw a smooth curve through them.

As in the attached, your table will show that there are two points of intersection between f(x) and g(x), and that for values of x more than 4, g(x) becomes much greater very quickly. Both curves rapidly reach the top of your graph space.

To find whether f(20) or g(20) is greater, you can evaluate the functions for that value of x.

f(20) = 20² = 400

g(20) = 2²⁰ = 1,048,576

Clearly, g(20) has a greater value.

The disk enclosed by the circle x+y = 4 is revoived about the y-axis to generate solid sphere. A hele of diameter 2 units is the

Vesnalui [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have a curve, y = f(x).

y = f(x)

x = a x = b

Imagine that the part of the curve between the ordinates x = a and x = b is rotated about the

x-axis through 360◦

. The curve would then map out the surface of a solid as it rotated. Such

solids are called solids of revolution. Thus if the curve was a circle, we would obtain the surface

of a sphere. If the curve was a straight line through the origin, we would obtain the surface of

a cone. Now we already know what the formulae for the volumes of a sphere and a cone are,

but where did they come from? How can they calculated? If we could find a general method

for calculating the volumes of the solids of revolution then we would be able to calculate, for

example, the volume of a sphere and the volume of a cone, as well as the volumes of more

complex solids.

To see how to carry out these calculations we look first at the curve, together with the solid it

maps out when rotated through 360◦

y = f(x)

Now if we take a cross-section of the solid, parallel to the y-axis, this cross-section will be a

circle. But rather than take a cross-section, let us take a thin disc of thickness δx, with the face

of the disc nearest the y-axis at a distance x from the origin.

To solve for y in the equation 2 x + y = 5, subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we have to isolate y and subtracting 2 will not put y alone on one side.

We have to subtract 2x in order to solve for y.

Joseph had 7 1/4 ounces of candy to share with his friends. He gave them 2 4/5 ounces of candy when they came over to play video

OleMash [197]

7 1/4 - 2 4/5
Turn the denominator into a common denominator for both fractions:
7 5/20 - 2 16/20
To subtract easier, turn the fractions into an improper fraction:
145/20 - 56/20
Subtract the numerators:
145 - 56 = 89 ---> 89/20
Simplify (to get an answer of):
4 9/20
Add labels:
Joseph has 4 9/20 ounces of candy left
