Answer:
The solution is similar to the 2-point form of the equation for a line:
y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)·x + (y1) -(x1)(y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the two points, write two equations in the unknowns of the equation of the line.
For example, you can use the equation ...
y = mx + b
Then for the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) you have two equations in m and b:
b + (x1)m = (y1)
b + (x2)m = (y2)
The corresponding augmented matrix for this system is ...
![\left[\begin{array}{cc|c}1&x1&y1\\1&x2&y2\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Cc%7D1%26x1%26y1%5C%5C1%26x2%26y2%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
____
The "b" variable can be eliminated by subtracting the first equation from the second. This puts a 0 in row 2 column 1 of the matrix, per <em>Gaussian Elimination</em>.
0 + (x2 -x1)m = (y2 -y1)
Dividing by the value in row 2 column 2 gives you the value of m:
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
This value can be substituted into either equation to find the value of b.
b = (y1) -(x1)(y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) . . . . . substituting for m in the first equation
Complete the recursive formula of the arithmetic sequence -15, -11, -7, -3,...−15,−11,−7,−3,...minus, 15, comma, minus, 11, comm
o-na [289]
Answer:
c(1) = -15
c(n) = c(n - 1) + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given arithmetic sequence is,
-15, -11, -7, -3...........
Common difference between each successive and previous term is,
d = -11 - (-15)
= -11 + 15
= 4
Since recursive formula of the arithmetic sequence is represented by,
a₁ = First term of the sequence
a(n) = a(n - 1) + d
where a(n) is the nth term and a(n-1) is the previous term of the nth term.
Form the given sequence,
c₁ = -15
c(n) = c(n - 1) + 4
6.2w = 18.6....divide both sides by 6.2
w = 18.6 / 6.2
w = 3 <==
Answer:
(-2, 6.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Wayne can follow the line from (-2, 0) up to where it crosses the graphed line. The crossing point is approximately halfway between 6 and 7 on the graph, so can be considered to be 6.5.
If we put x=-2 into the equation and evaluate, we get ...
... y = (-3/4)(-2) +5 = 6/4 +5 = (1 1/2) +5 = 6 1/2
Thus the solution is (-2, 6 1/2).
The amount of energy that the given amount of food contains is the product of the given content per grams and the amount of food in grams.
For this item, we assume that g(x) is the total energy that the howler monkey needs to obtain and x is the amount of food in grams. From the presented concept in the first paragraph,
amount of energy = (3.35 kcal/gram) x (amount of food)
<em>g(x) = 3.35x</em>
