Answer:

y=x^2-2

Step-by-step explanation:

It should be this one because if you have x squared it will be a parabola. A line should have a consistent slope. so Somethingx + y intercept =y

The set of ordered pairs below represents a linear function.

vivado [14]

Answer:

(4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a linear function so you find the slope by doing y2-y1/x2-x1 and you find the slope to be 1/2. You can then setup an equation using it and graph it to find the next value.

A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. The first brand is 20% pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 70% pure anti

andre [41]

Answer:

First brand of antifreeze: 21 gallons

Second brand of antifreeze: 9 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A the amount of first brand of antifreeze. 20% pure antifreeze

Let's call B the amount of second brand of antifreeze. 70% pure antifreeze

The resulting mixture should have 35% pure antifreeze, and 30 gallons.

Then we know that the total amount of mixture will be:

$A + B = 30$

Then the total amount of pure antifreeze in the mixture will be:

$0.2A + 0.7B = 0.35 * 30$

$0.2A + 0.7B = 10.5$

Then we have two equations and two unknowns so we solve the system of equations. Multiply the first equation by -0.7 and add it to the second equation:

$-0.7A -0.7B = -0.7*30$

$-0.7A -0.7B = -21$

$0.2A + 0.7B = 10.5$

--------------------------------------

$-0.5A = -10.5$

$A = \frac{-10.5}{-0.5}$

$A = 21\ gallons$

We substitute the value of A into one of the two equations and solve for B.

$21 + B = 30$

$B = 9\ gallons$

45.3297 rounded to the nearest tenth would be?

Alex

45.3297 rounded to the nearest tenth is 45.3
3 is in the tenths place, so you look at the number to the right of it. If that number is 5 or more, you round up. If the number is 4 or less, you round down. So you round 45.3297 down to 45.3

Harman [31]

Answer:

if the 2 is the power of (x-1) here is ur answer

$y = (x - 1 ){}^{2} \\if \: x \: is \: \: equal \: to \: - 3 \\ y =( - 3 - 1) {}^{2} \\ y = ( - 4) {}^{2} \\ y = 16$
