Given:

The function is:

f(x)=\dfrac{\sqrt{2x-6}}{x-3}

To find:

The smallest possible integer value for $x$ such that $f(x)$ has a real number value.

Solution:

We have,

f(x)=\dfrac{\sqrt{2x-6}}{x-3}

This function is defined if the radicand is greater than or equal to 0, i.e., 2x-6\geq 0 and the denominator is non-zero, i.e., x-3\neq 0.

2x-6\geq 0

2x\geq 6

\dfrac{2x}{2}\geq \dfrac{6}{2}

x\geq 3             ...(i)

And,

x-3\neq 0

Adding 3 on both sides, we get

x-3+3\neq 0+3

x\neq 3             ...(ii)

Using (i) and (ii), it is clear that the function is defined for all real values which are greater than 3 but not 3.

Therefore, the smallest possible integer value for x is 4.

1/2 of 3oz, 3/4 of 3oz and 1/3 of 2oz, how many ounces of food was consumed
Alex Ar [27]
4.42 ounces of food was consumed. 1/2 of 3 oz equals 1.5 oz, 3/4 of 3 oz equals 2.25 oz and 1/3 of 2 oz equals .67 and when you add those up you get 4.42.

Write the equation in point slope intercept form of the line that passes through (6,-11) and is parallel to the graph of y=-2/3x
Alina [70]

Answer:

y+11=-2/3(x-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the parallel line, we would just plug in the numbers in the point-slope form from what we're given. We have y=-2/3x+12 and (6,-11).

Point-slope form:

y-y1=m(x-x1) → y+11=-2/3(x-6)

m represents the slope, which is -2/3 in this situation.

y1 represents the y coordinate, which is -11 in this situation. However, when we plug in negative numbers in a point-slope form, we would do the opposite of the negative number, which is to make it a positive in point-slope form.

x1 represents the x coordinate, which is 6 in this situation.

A line contains the points (-5, 3) and (0, -7). What is the equation of this line in slope-intercept form?
pychu [463]

Answer:

D. y = –2x – 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the <em>rate</em><em> </em><em>of change</em><em> </em>[<em>slope</em>]:

-y₁ + y₂\-x₁ + x₂ = m

- \frac{3 - 7}{5 + 0} = -\frac{10}{5} = -2

In this case, the y-intercept of [0, -7] is ALREADY given to you, so we would not have to go further in this case.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
