Answer:

y = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \\\\

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a point P which lies on a unit circle

P  = (-½, y)

Where x coordinate is -½ and y coordinate is y.

We are asked to find the value of y in simplest form.

Recall that a unit circle has a radius of 1 and is centered at the origin that is (0,0).

The equation of the unit circle is given by

x^{2} + y^{2} = 1

Since the point P lies on a unit circle, we can substitute this point into the equation of unit circle and get the value of y.

Substitute x = -½ and y = y

(-\frac{1}{2} )^{2} + y^{2} = 1\\\\(\frac{1}{4} ) + y^{2} = 1\\\\y^{2} = 1 - \frac{1}{4} \\\\y^{2} = \frac{3}{4} \\\\y = \pm \sqrt{\frac{3}{4}} \\\\y = \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \\\\

Assuming that the given point P lies in the 2nd quadrant, the value of y will be positive.

y = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \\\\

Therefore, the coordinates of the point P are

P =( -\frac{1}{2} , \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}) \\\\

Ans(a):

Given function is f(x)=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}

we know that any rational function is not defined when denominator is 0 so that means denominator x+4 can't be 0

so let's solve

x+4≠0 for x

x≠0-4

x≠-4

Hence at x=4, function can't have solution.


Ans(b):

We know that vertical shift occurs when we add something on the right side of function so vertical shift by 4 units means add 4 to f(x)

so we get:

g(x)=f(x)+4

g(x)=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}+4

We may simplify this equation but that is not compulsory.

Comparision:  

Graph of g(x) will be just 4 unit upward than graph of f(x).


Ans(c):

To find value of x when g(x)=8, just plug g(x)=8 in previous equation

8=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}+4


8-4=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}


4=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}


4(x+4)=(3x-1)


4x+16=3x-1


4x-3x=-1-16

x=-17

Hence final answer is x=-17

What is the answer to 2 1/4 x 3 1/9
vlada-n [284]
2 1/4 times 3 1/9

Make the fractions into decimals

So now it’s 2.25 times 3.11...

Multiply that to get 6.99 but since the 3.11... is a repeated sequence you would round it to 7, which is your answer!
