The table shows the sales price and the discount offered at different stores for a bicycle that Juan wants to pure

Can someone tell me if im right? PLEASE DONT JUST SAY YES if you don’t know

Answer: You are incorrect, the slope is correct, but the actual y-intercept is 205 ft.

Then the equation is:

y = (-15 ft/min)*x + 205 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, let's solve this.

We know that water is drained from a reservoir, let's assume that we can model this situation with a linear relation:

y = a*x + b

Where x is time, y is the height of the water in the reservoir, a is the slope (in this case represents how much changes the height of the water in the reservoir in one unit of time) and b is the initial height of the water in the reservoir.

We know that for a line that passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) the slope is:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

For this particular case we know that after 2 minutes the height of the water is 175 ft, then we have the point (2 min, 175 ft)

and after 5 minutes (so 7 minutes in total), the height of the water is 100ft, then: (7 ft, 100ft)

Then the slope of this:

a = (100 ft - 175 ft)/(7 min - 2 min) = (-75ft/5min) = - 15 ft/min

Then our line is something like:

y = (-15ft/min)*x + b

To find the value of b, we can use the fact that when x = 2 min, y = 175 ft

So if we replace these two values in the equation we get:

175ft = (-15 ft/min)*2 min + b

175 ft = -30 ft + b

175 ft + 30 ft = b

(here is your problem, it seems like you subtracted instead of adding in this part)

205 ft = b

Then the equation is:

y = (-15 ft/min)*x + 205 ft

So you are incorrect (but only for a little bit), you computed wrong the y-intercept.

1 + tanx / 1 + cotx =2

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

x = tan^(-1)((i sqrt(3))/2 + 1/2) + π n_1 for n_1 element Z

or x = tan^(-1)(-(i sqrt(3))/2 + 1/2) + π n_2 for n_2 element Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

1 + cot(x) + tan(x) = 2

Multiply both sides of 1 + cot(x) + tan(x) = 2 by tan(x):

1 + tan(x) + tan^2(x) = 2 tan(x)

Subtract 2 tan(x) from both sides:

1 - tan(x) + tan^2(x) = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides:

tan^2(x) - tan(x) = -1

Add 1/4 to both sides:

1/4 - tan(x) + tan^2(x) = -3/4

Write the left hand side as a square:

(tan(x) - 1/2)^2 = -3/4

Take the square root of both sides:

tan(x) - 1/2 = (i sqrt(3))/2 or tan(x) - 1/2 = -(i sqrt(3))/2

Add 1/2 to both sides:

tan(x) = 1/2 + (i sqrt(3))/2 or tan(x) - 1/2 = -(i sqrt(3))/2

Take the inverse tangent of both sides:

x = tan^(-1)((i sqrt(3))/2 + 1/2) + π n_1 for n_1 element Z

or tan(x) - 1/2 = -(i sqrt(3))/2

Add 1/2 to both sides:

x = tan^(-1)((i sqrt(3))/2 + 1/2) + π n_1 for n_1 element Z

or tan(x) = 1/2 - (i sqrt(3))/2

Take the inverse tangent of both sides:

Answer: x = tan^(-1)((i sqrt(3))/2 + 1/2) + π n_1 for n_1 element Z

or x = tan^(-1)(-(i sqrt(3))/2 + 1/2) + π n_2 for n_2 element Z

Kenneth has 2,000$ to invest

Katarina [22]

The calculations for 2, 4, 8 year can be derived as follows,

For simple interest:

S.I = $\frac{P*T*R}{100}$

P= principle

T= Time

R= Rate

For 2 year;

S.I = $\frac{2000*2*5.6}{100}$ = $224

Amount = $2224

For 4 year;

S.I = $\frac{2000*4*5.6}{100}$ = $448

Amount = $2448

For 8 year;

S.I = $\frac{2000*8*5.6}{100}$ = $896

Amount = $2896

I'm confused. Please help! brainly and 25 points

german

Answer:

This is a line, x>0 (miles cannot be negative)

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of renting a car = cost per mile times the number of miles plus the flat fee

We know the cost per mile = .25 and the flat fee

Let x = number of miles and y = cost of renting a car

y = .25x+15

This is in the form y= mx+b which is the slope intercept form of a line.

Hey guys please help!!

Advocard [28]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

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

y = - $\frac{1}{4}$ x + $\frac{1}{4}$ ....... (1)

(1) × 4

4y = - x + 1

x = - 4y + 1

y = - 4x + 1

f(x) = - 4x + 1

∴ f(x) and g(x) are inverses
