Hi there!

\large\boxed{x = -5}

Find the value of 8 by substituting in -18 for g(x):

-18 = 2x - 8

Add 8 to both sides:

-10 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2:

-10/2 = 2x/2

x = -5

Substitute g(x) = -18 in g(x) = 2x-8

- 18 = 2x - 8 \\ 2x - 8 =  - 18 \\ 2x =  - 18 + 8 \\ 2x =  - 10 \\ x =  - 5

Thus, x = -5 when g(x) = -18

Write the equation of the hyperbola with foci at (1, 5) and (7, 5) and with vertices at (2, 5) and (6, 5).
mash [69]
If you plot the points given on a coordinate plane you see that this is a hyperbola that is is horizontal in nature, meaning it opens side to side, not up and down.  We can determine the center of it by taking the point equidistant from the vertices, which is (4, 5), the h and k of our center, respectively.  Also, the equation looks like this when it is horizontal: \frac{(x-h) ^{2} }{ a^{2} } - \frac{(y-k) ^{2} }{ b^{2} } =1.  a is the distance between the center and the vertices, so our a = 2, and c is the distance between the center and the foci, so our c = 3.  We need to find b now, using Pythagorean's theorem.  ( 2)^{2} + b^{2} =( 3)^{2} and b= \sqrt{5}.  Now we have everything we need to rewrite the equation: \frac{(x-4) ^{2} }{4} - \frac{(y-5) ^{2} }{5} =1

What is 2x(y+5)=2.5y<br> What is 2x(y+5)=2.5y
White raven [17]

Answer:

simplify: 2.5 =(y+5)

reorder the terms: 2.5y=(5+y)

remove the parenthesis: 2.5y=5+y

solving: 2.5y=5+y

move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

add -1y to each side of the equation

2.5y+-1y=5+y+-1y

combine like terms 2.5y+-1y=1.5y

1.5y=5+y+-1y

combine like terms: y+-1y=0

1.5y=5+0

1.5y=5

divide each side by 1.5

y=3.333333333

simplifying

y=3.333333333

The linear regression line for Tampa Tribune Database is y=8x+367. In approximately what year is the Tampa Tribune expecting to
lakkis [162]

The Tampa Tribune expecting to add 700 new pictures per year to their database in 2041

<h3>The linear equation of the graph</h3>

The equation of the line of best fit is given as:

y = 8x + 367

When the number of pictures added is 700, we have:

y = 700

Substitute 700 for y in y = 8x + 367

700 = 8x + 367

Subtract 367 from both sides of the equation

333= 8x

Rewrite the above equation as:

8x = 333

Divide both sides by 8

x = 41.625

Remove decimal (do not approximate)

x = 41

This means that:

Year = 2000 +41

Year = 2041

Hence, the Tampa Tribune expecting to add 700 new pictures per year to their database in 2041
