Answer:

The equation of the function: y = mx + b

m = slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = [5 - (-3)]/(4 - 0) = (5 + 3)/4 = 8/4 = 2
b = y-intercept = -3

Therefore, the equation is f(x) = 2x - 3

When x = 0, f(x) = 2(0) - 3 = -3

When x increases by 1, f(x) increases by 2 (slope = the rate of change)

The function f(x) = −x^2 − 5x + 50 shows the relationship between the vertical distance of a diver from a pool's surface f(x), i

pychu [463]

Set the function to equal zero:

$-x^2 - 5x + 50 = 0$

To find the zeros, or solutions, to this problem, we will use the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Plug the values into the equation:

$a = -1, b = -5, c = 50$

$x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{-5^2-4(-1)(50)}}{2(-1)}$

$x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+200}}{-2}$

$x=\frac{5\pm15}{-2}$

Solve for both plus and minus:

$\frac{5 + 15}{-2} = \frac{20}{-2} = -10$

$\frac{5 - 15}{-2} = \frac{-10}{-2} = 5$

$x = -10, x = 5$

The question cannot use a negative value for x, as the diver cannot dive a negative distance from the board.

The answer is 'x = 5; the diver hits the water 5 feet away horizontally from the board', because x represents the horizontal distance away from the board.

At a park, 96 brown-bag lunches were given out in thirty minutes. If 29 bags remain and x represents the starting number of brow

larisa86 [58]

There were 125 bags to start with.
Explanation: Let x be the number of lunches to start with.
96 were given out, so x - 96 remain.
As we have 29 left, we know that x - 96 = 29
So x = 29 + 96 = 125
