Y=2(4)+4
=12 gallons in the tank so far

50-12
=38 gallons to fill

If f(x)= 2x-7, what is the equation for f^-1(x)

Citrus2011 [14]

F^-1(x)= (x+7)/2
it's the inverse so adding is subtracting and multiplication is divison

The point P(1,1/2) lies on the curve y=x/(1+x). (a) If Q is the point (x,x/(1+x)), find the slope of the secant line PQ correct

lukranit [14]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the equation of the curve

$y=\dfrac{x}{1+x}$

Point $P\left(1,\dfrac{1}{2}\right)$ lies on the curve.

Point $Q\left(x,\dfrac{x}{1+x}\right)$ is an arbitrary point on the curve.

The slope of the secant line PQ is

$\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{\frac{x}{1+x}-\frac{1}{2}}{x-1}=\dfrac{\frac{2x-(1+x)}{2(x+1)}}{x-1}=\dfrac{\frac{2x-1-x}{2(x+1)}}{x-1}=\\ \\=\dfrac{\frac{x-1}{2(x+1)}}{x-1}=\dfrac{x-1}{2(x+1)}\cdot \dfrac{1}{x-1}=\dfrac{1}{2(x+1)}\ [\text{When}\ x\neq 1]$

1. If x=0.5, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(0.5+1)}=\dfrac{1}{3}\approx 0.3333$

2. If x=0.9, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(0.9+1)}=\dfrac{1}{3.8}\approx 0.2632$

3. If x=0.99, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(0.99+1)}=\dfrac{1}{3.98}\approx 0.2513$

4. If x=0.999, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(0.999+1)}=\dfrac{1}{3.998}\approx 0.2501$

5. If x=1.5, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(1.5+1)}=\dfrac{1}{5}\approx 0.2$

6. If x=1.1, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(1.1+1)}=\dfrac{1}{4.2}\approx 0.2381$

7. If x=1.01, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(1.01+1)}=\dfrac{1}{4.02}\approx 0.2488$

8. If x=1.001, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(1.001+1)}=\dfrac{1}{4.002}\approx 0.2499$

An experiment consists of drawing 1 card from a standard 52-card deck. Let E be the event that the card drawn is a 10. Find P(

viva [34]

The are 4 different possibilities to draw a ten, namely a ten of the four different suits. The probability of the event is the ratio of the 4 possibilities and the total number of possible choices, whcih is 52:

P(E) = 4/52 = 1/13 or about 7.7%

If x = -3 is a zero of f(x), which of the following must be true?

Alla [95]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation: You make the values in the parentheses equal to zero.

(X + 3) = 0

X = -3

A is wrong because the root would be 3, not negative 3. C is wrong because 3 isn’t guaranteed to be a root. D is wrong because -3 is a real solution.
