Required

The constant of proportionality

Select two points on the graph

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,0)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (4,3)$

So, the constant of proportionality (k) is:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{3-0}{4-0}$

$m = \frac{3}{4}$

Find 3 solutions to the equation y = −4x −1

agasfer [191]

Answer:

(0,-1)

(1,-5)

(2,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = −4x −1

Let x=0

y = 0-1 = -1 (0,-1)

Let x = 1

y = -4(1) -1 = -4-1 =-5 (1,-5)

Let x = 2

y = -4(2) -1 = -8-1 =-9 (2,-9)

A drawer contains 6 white socks and 10 black socks. If 2 socks are chosen at random, what is the probability that they will have

SpyIntel [72]

$|\Omega|=C(16,2)=\dfrac{16!}{2!14!}=\dfrac{15\cdot16}{2}=120\\|A|=C(6,2)+C(10,2)=\dfrac{6!}{2!4!}+\dfrac{10!}{2!8!}=\dfrac{5\cdot6}{2}+\dfrac{9\cdot10}{2}=15+45=60\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{60}{120}=\dfrac{1}{2}=50\%$

Question 5: prove that it’s =0

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Proof in explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to attempt this by squeeze theorem.

We know that $\cos(\frac{2}{x})$ is a variable number between -1 and 1 (inclusive).

This means that $-1 \le \cos(\frac{2}{x}) \le 1$ .

$x^4 \ge 0$ for all value $x$ . So if we multiply all sides of our inequality by this, it will not effect the direction of the inequalities.

$-x^4 \le x^4 \cos(\frac{2}{x}) \le x^4$

By squeeze theorem, if $-x^4 \le x^4 \cos(\frac{2}{x}) \le x^4$

and $\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}-x^4=\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}x^4=L$ , then we can also conclude that $\im_{x \rightarrow} x^4\cos(\frac{2}{x})=L$ .

So we can actually evaluate the "if" limits pretty easily since both are continuous and exist at $x=0$ .

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}x^4=0^4=0$

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}-x^4=-0^4=-0=0$ .

We can finally conclude that $\lim_{\rightarrow 0}x^4\cos(\frac{2}{x})=0$ by squeeze theorem.

Some people call this sandwich theorem.

Help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

labwork [276]

Answer:

D. (8,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the equation

x2-11x+24=0

To factor an equation, you want the answer to add up to the second number, so in this case, 8+3 is equal to 11, and 8 times 3 also equals 24
