Answer:

(1, 6).  The second is (-1 + 2 + 2, 1 + 1 + 1), or (3, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from P to Q, we see that x increases by 6  and y increases by 3.

"Trisect" means "divide into three equal subintervals."

We find (1/3) of 6 (which comes out to 2) and (1/3) of 3 (which comes out to 1).  

Thus, the first junction (between 1st and 2nd trisection) is (-1 + 2, 5 + 1), or (1, 6).  The second is (-1 + 2 + 2, 1 + 1 + 1), or (3, 3)

Given the function, <em>f(x) = 3x + 6,</em> we can solve for f(a), f(a + h) and \frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h} by substituting their values into f(x) = 3x + 6. We will have the following:

\mathbf{f(a) = 3a + 6}\\\\\mathbf{f(a + h) = 3a + 3h + 6}\\\\\mathbf{\frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h} = 6}

<em><u>Given:</u></em>

  • f(x) = 3x + 6

<em>We are told to find:</em>

  1. f(a)
  2. f(a + h), and
  3. \frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h}

1. <em><u>Find f(a):</u></em>

  • Substitute x = a into f(x) = 3x + 6

f(a) = 3(a) + 6

f(a) = 3a + 6

<em>2. Find f(a + h):</em>

  • Substitute x = a + h into f(x) = 3x + 6

f(a + h) = 3(a + h) + 6

f(a + h) = 3a + 3h + 6

<em>3. Find </em>\frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h}<em>:</em>

  • Plug in the values of f(a + h) and f(a) into \frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h}

Thus:

\frac{((3a + 3h + 6) - (3a + 6)) }{h}\\\\\frac{(3a + 3h + 6 - 3a - 6) }{h}\\\\

  • Add like terms

\frac{(3a - 3a + 3h + 6 - 6) }{h}\\\\= \frac{3h }{h}\\\\\mathbf{= 3}

Therefore, given the function, <em>f(x) = 3x + 6,</em> we can solve for f(a), f(a + h) and \frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h} by substituting their values into f(x) = 3x + 6. We will have the following:

\mathbf{f(a) = 3a + 6}\\\\\mathbf{f(a + h) = 3a + 3h + 6}\\\\\mathbf{\frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h} = 6}

John sales model boats from a booth at a local fair. He purchases each model boat from a distributor for five dollars and the lo
poizon [28]

Answer and explanation:

Profit from sale of model boats = Sales -costs(costs of goods purchases + expenses or charges by the local fair)

John's profit from the sale of model boats can be represented by the equation:

P= 50x-(5x+80)

Where P is profit from the sale of the model boats and x is number of model boats bought and sold. The 80 is constant as it is a fixed cost paid to the local fair.

For example if John buys and sells 20 model boats, he would make profit of:

Substitute x=20 in equation above

P= 50×20-(5×20+80)

P=1000-180

P=$820

It could be said that John is in a very profitable business and his profit is also dependent on volume of sales because the lower his sales the closer he gets to making a loss and not profit

Answer:

1. wire is approx. 143.96 ft

2. pole is approx. 106.55 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Mapping the information on the SOHCAHTOA picture below:

Φ = 46

wire = hypotenuse

adjacent side = 100

CAH is most suitable:

cos 46° = 100/wire => wire = 100/cos 46 ≈ 143.96

pole = opposite side + 3

TOA is most suitable:

tan 46° = (pole-3)/100 => pole = 3 + 100 * tan 46 ≈ 106.55
