Answer:

Linear.

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

y = 0.5x - 1

Step 2: Compare

y = mx + b

y = 0.5x - 1

m = 0.5

b = -1

The equation is a linear function. It's proportional.

9. Factorize: 6x2 - 19x + 14.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to factor the given polynomial

We have this as;

6x^2 - 19x + 14

= 6x^2 -12x-7x + 14

= 6x(x-2) -7(x-2)

= (6x-7)(x-2)

6x^2-19x + 14 = (6x-7)(x-2)

Which equation can be used to find the solution of (1/4)^y+1=64?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

−y−1=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Which equation can be used to find the solution of (1/4)^y+1=64?

This can be solved by power of indices

(1/4)^(y+1)=64

(4^-1)^(y + 1)= 4^3

Note

(x^a)^b = x^ab

Hence:

4^(-1)(y + 1)= 4^3

4^-y - 1 = 4^3

Divide both sides by 4

−y−1=3

Hence, the equation that can be used to find the solution of (1/4)^y+1=64 is

−y−1=3
