Answer:

<h2>D) y = 2x – 8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, the initial condition is -8, because the start of the day, the morning, was -8 °F. This characteristic is really important, initial condition are expressed as y-interception, which is the constant term of a linear function.

So, in this case, the viable answers are B or D, it depends on the ratio of change.

The problem states that as the day went on, the temperature ROSE 2 degrees each hour, that expressed an increasing behaviour of 2. Mathematically, that means the independent variable must be negative.

Therefore, the right answer is D., because it has a positive rate of change, and it has -8 as y-interception or initial condition.

you start with -8 then rise 2 per hour, so this would be +2x.

D. y = 2x - 8

Look at the pentagonal numbers. Use finite differences to determine which function represents the pattern.
Ahat [919]

Answer:

f(x) = 1.5x - 0.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

The function of the pattern represented by the pentagonal numbers is the sum of three triangular numbers.

The triangular number general formula

                      x (x + 1) / 2

For  example,

The sequence

1,     3,     6,      10

                                             *

                          *              *  *

         *           *   *          *   *  *

* ,    *  *,     *   *   *,     *   *   *  *

_____________________________

The pentagonal numbers

The sequence:

1, 5, 12, 22, 35

As shown in the picture can be divided into three triangles

Triangle 2

x (x + 1) / 2

Triangle 1 and 3  (they are triangles one unit smaller than 2)

n (n + 1) / 2

n= x-1

Replacing n

(x-1) ((x-1) + 1) / 2

(x-1) (x) / 2

(x-1) x / 2

______________

Function represents the pattern

Triangle 2  + (Triangle 1  +  Triangle 3)

Triangle 1  = Triangle 3

So then,

Triangle 2 + 2* Triangle 1

x (x +1) /2  + 2* (x -1) x/2

Rearranging

0.5 x (x +1) + x(x -1)

0.5x^2 + 0.5x + x^2 -x

(0.5 x^2 + x^2)  + (0.5x -x )

1.5 x^2 - 0.5 x

NARA [144]

Answer:

Third item in the list

Step-by-step explanation:

Third function:  f(x) = x + 9.  If we substitute 14 for x, we get f(14) = 14 + 9 = 23.

Please help me i need to complete this by tomorrow
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Need to work out your scale factor which is 1.5.

8 * 1.5 = 12

CE = 12

12 * 9 = 108/2 = 59 that is the area of triangle ACE

8 * 6 = 48/2 = 24 that is the area of triangle BCD

ACE - BCD = ABDE

59 - 24 = 35cm^2
