Your answers are wrong. the function f(x) is like a factory. you put in something ( a number) and it will spit you out something else (a different number depending on the function). your function, f (x)= -2x+1
you can put anything in that function. let say k.
f(x=k) = -2k+1. you just replace the x with k.
in this particular problem they way f(-2) ,f(0), f(1) and f(2).
here are the results
f(x=-2) = f(-2) = -2×(-2)+1 =5
f(x=0) = f(0) = -2×(0)+1 =1
f(x=1) = f(1) = -2×(1)+1 =-1
f(x=2) = f(2) = -2×(2)+1 =-3
Answer:
11/4 is your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
What you do is you have to times -2 and -11/4 together.
This gives you 22/8.
This can be reduced by 2 to get:
11/4 as your answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If Daniel does 1/9 of the job in one hour
let x = Paul's rate
Paul does 1/x of the job in one hour
They both do the job in 4.95hrs
(1/9)(4.95) + (1/x)(4.95) = job completion
multiply both sides by 9x
(9x)(1/9)(4.95) + (9x)(1/x)(4.95) = 9x(1)
4.95x + 9*4.95 = 9x
4.95x + 44.55 = 9x
9x - 4.95x = 44.55
4.05x = 44.55
x = 44.55/4.05
x = 11 hours i.e time it takes for Paul to pick the 40 bushels alone
It is asking you to slice off 40% of the bounce height in each subsequent bounce.
So you start with full height 1, that's n = 0 bounces. Then after n = 1 bounce the new height is .6. After the second bounce, n = 2, the height becomes .6 X .6 = .36. And after n = 3, we have .6 X .6 X .6 = .216
So by induction we see that h(n = 5) = .6^n = .6^5 = 0.07776 = .078 of its original height or H = .078*200 = 15.6 ft. after five bounces. ANS. 16.0 if rounded to the nearest tenth
