Answer: 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first one: y=2x+5

X=2y+5.Then solve for y after switching x and y

X-5=2y, X-5/2=y

Since F-1= X-5/ 2, we plug the value of X in

8-5/2, so it should be 3/2

The graph of a quadratic function f(x) intersects the x-axis At -3 and 5. Create a function that would produce these results.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

f(x) = x² - 2x - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The function intersect x-axis at -3 and 5

∴ f(x) = 0 at x = -3 , 5

∵ The form of the quadratic equation is ⇒ ax² + -b/a x + c/a = 0

ax² - b/a x + c/a = 0

Where the sum of its roots is b/a and their multiplication is c/a

∵ a = 1

∵ -3 , 5 are the roots of the quadratic equation

∴ b = -3 + 5 = 2

∴ c = -3 × 5 = -15

∴ f(x) = x² - 2x - 15

Ms.Wright opens a savings account with a deposit of $800. The bank will pay her 3% interest per year A.) how much interest will

Norma-Jean [14]

A) Ms.Wright receive $12 as interest at the end of 1/2 year.

B) Ms.Wright receive $24 as interest at the end of 1 year.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum deposited in the bank = Principle = $800

The rate of simple interest = 3%

The time = 6 months = (6/12) years = 0.5 years

$\textrm{SIMPLE INTEREST} = \frac{P \times R \times t}{100} \\\implies SI = \frac{800 \times 3 \times 0.5}{100} = 12$

So, here simple interest = $12.

So Ms.Wright receive $12 as interest at the end of 1/2 year.

B) Now here Time = 1 year

so, Simple interest = $\frac{800 \times 3 \times1 }{100} = 24$

So Ms.Wright receive $24 as interest at the end of 1 year.
