Does the graph shown below represent y as a linear function of x?

Mathematics

5 0

Answer: No, it is not a linear function

Explanation:

We can see that it's a function because it passes the vertical line test, but it's not linear. To be linear, it needs to be one single straight line only (instead of composed of multiple pieces of different straight lines). This graph is considered a piecewise function.

So if your teacher asked "is this a function?" then the answer would be "yes". However, the "linear" portion is what makes the final answer "no".

Answer:

The manager did not make a good suggestion.

Any values of x that are less than or equal to -20 will result in a non-negative output and will not meet the customer's needs.

Line equations from point/slope
babunello [35]

Answer:

The answer is

y =  \frac{1}{4} x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in and solve the equation. We are trying to find the y-intercept:

y=  \frac{1}{4}x  + b \\  2 =  \frac{1}{4} ( - 4) + b \\ 2 =  - 1 + b \\  \frac{ + 1 =  + 1  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: }{3 = b}

We found the y-intercept, so now we plug it in it's right full spot in the formula.

y =  \frac{1}{4} x + 3

Solve for a: 5(a+5)-3=3(2-a)
ivann1987 [24]

Simplify:

5(a + 5) + -3 = 3(2 + -1a)

Reorder the terms:

5(5 + a) + -3 = 3(2 + -1a)

(5 * 5 + a * 5) + -3 = 3(2 + -1a)

(25 + 5a) + -3 = 3(2 + -1a)

Reorder the terms again:

25 + -3 + 5a = 3(2 + -1a)

Combine like terms:

]25 + -3 = 22

22 + 5a = 3(2 + -1a)

22 + 5a = (2 * 3 + -1a * 3)

22 + 5a = (6 + -3a)

Solve:

22 + 5a = 6 + -3a

To solve for variable 'a':

You have to move all terms containing A to the left, all other terms to the right.

Then add '3a' to each side of the equation:

22 + 5a + 3a = 6 + -3a + 3a

Combine like terms:

5a + 3a = 8a

22 + 8a = 6 + -3a + 3a

Combine like terms again:

-3a + 3a = 0

22 + 8a = 6 + 0

22 + 8a = 6

Add '-22' to each side of the equation.:

22 + -22 + 8a = 6 + -22

Combine like terms:

22 + -22 = 0

0 + 8a = 6 + -22

8a = 6 + -22

Combine like terms once more:

6 + -22 = -16

8a = -16

Divide each side by '8'.

a = -2

Simplify:

a = -2

Answer: a=-2

Hope I could help! :)

A circle has a radius of 3. An arc in this circle has a central angle of 20°
Alla [95]

Answer:

The length of the arc is 1.0467

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all to solve this problem we need to use the circumferenc formula of a circle:

c = circumference

r = radius = 3

π = 3.14

c = 2π * r

we replace with the known values

c = 2 * 3.14 * 3

c = 18.84

The length of the circumference is 18.84

Now we have to divide the 20° by the 360​​° that a circle has, to know what part of the circle it represents

20° / 360° = 1/18

Now we multiply this fraction by the circumference and obtain the length of the arc

1/18 * 18.84 = 1.0467

The length of the arc is 1.0467
