Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Recursive formula

a1 = -17

a^n = a^n-1 + 5

Explicit formula:

Please help!!!!!!!! Determine the function which corresponds to the given graph.
zzz [600]

The rational function shown in the graph is:

y = \frac{x - 6}{x - 5}

<h3>How to determine the function?</h3>

First, we can see that we have an asymptote at x = 5, so the denominator becomes equal to zero when x = 5.

Then the rational function is something like:

y = \frac{g(x)}{x - 5}

We also can see that when x = 6, the function intercepts the x-axis, then we must have that:

g(6) = 0

So we can define:

g(x) = x - 6

So the rational function is:

y = \frac{x - 6}{x - 5}

What is the value to this solution
saw5 [17]
-1/8 because it would be -1/16 which is closer to 0 then -1/8. We want something that will return a value where the denominator is large for a negative value.

Opal walked from school to home, which
lianna [129]

Answer:

Slope = -4

x intercept = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for graph

Required

a. Determine the slope

b. Find the x intercept and explain what it represents

a. The slope

To calculate the slope, we start by selecting any two corresponding values of x and y from the graph.

(x_1,y_1) = (3,0)

(x_2,y_2) = (0,12)

Next, we calculate the slope (m)

m = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2}

m = \frac{0 - 12}{3 - 0}

m = \frac{- 12}{3}

m = -4

b. The x intercept

This is the point where y = 0.

From the graph.

x = 3  when y = 0

This implies that:

After 3 hours, the distance left to cover is 0miles.

In other words, she arrived home in 3 hours

According to the Rational Root Theorem, which number is a potential root of f(x) = 9x8 + 9x6 – 12x + 7?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

\pm 1, \pm\dfrac{1}{3},\pm\dfrac{1}{9},\pm 7, \pm\dfrac{7}{3},\pm\dfrac{7}{9}.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Rational Root Theorem, the potential roots of a polynomial are

x=\pm\dfrac{p}{q}  

where, p is a factor of constant and q is a factor of leading term.

The given polynomial is

f(x)=9x^8+9x^6-12x+7

Here, 9 is the leading term and 7 is constant.

Factors of 9 are ±1, ±3, ±9.

Factors of 7 are ±1, ±7.

Using rational root theorem, the rational or potential roots are

x=\pm 1, \pm\dfrac{1}{3},\pm\dfrac{1}{9},\pm 7, \pm\dfrac{7}{3},\pm\dfrac{7}{9}

Therefore, the potential root of f(x) are \pm 1, \pm\dfrac{1}{3},\pm\dfrac{1}{9},\pm 7, \pm\dfrac{7}{3},\pm\dfrac{7}{9}.

After heating up in a teapot, a cup of hot water is poured at a temperature of 210°F. The cup sits to cool in a room at a temper
Fiesta28 [93]

Newton's Law of Cooling:

T(t)=T_{s}+(T_{o}-T_{s})e^{-kt}

T(t) = Temperature given at a time

t = Time

T_{s} = Surrounding temperature

T_{o}= Initial temperature

e = Constant (Euler's number) ≈ 2.72

k = Constant

Using this information, find the value of k, to the nearest thousandth, then use the resulting equation to determine the temperature of the water cup after 4 minutes.

First, plug in the given values in the equation and solve for k:

T(t) = 197°, t = 1.5 minutes, T_{s} = 70° and T_{o}= 210°  

T(t)=T_{s}+(T_{o}-T_{s})e^{-kt}\\197=70+(210-70)e^{-1.5k} \\197 -70 = (140)e^{-1.5k} \\127 =(140)e^{-1.5k}\\\frac{127}{140}=e^{-1.5k} \\ln(\frac{127}{140})=-1.5k\\-0.097=-1.5k\\0.0649 = k

k ≈ 0.065

Let the temperature of the water cup after t = 4 minutes be T(t) = x

Now, let's plug the new time and k constant in the equation and solve for x:

T(t)=T_{s}+(T_{o}-T_{s})e^{-kt}\\\\\x=70+(210-70})e^{-0.065*4}\\\\x=70+(140})e^{-0.26}, -0.26=-\frac{26}{100}=-\frac{13}{50} \\

x=70+(140})e^{-\frac{13}{50}}\\\\

x=70+(140})e^{\frac{1}{\frac{13}{50}}\\\\\\

x=70+e^{\frac{140}{\frac{13}{50}}\\\\\\

x=70+{\frac{140}{\sqrt[50]{e^{13}}}\\

x = 70 +\frac{140}{1.3} \\x=70+107.947\\

x=177.95 ≈ 178

Temperature of water after 4 minutes is 178°
