Answer:
k = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the given value of x in the equation, and solve the resulting equation for k.
2(5 -3) +k(1 +2·5) = k - 5 - 1
2(2) +k(11) = k -6 . . . . simplify a bit
10k = -10 . . . . . . . . . . add -4-k to both sides
k = -1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 10
The value of k is -1.
_____
<em>Check</em>
Use k = -1 in the original equation and solve for x.
2(x -3) -(1 +2x) = -1 -x -1
2x -6 -1 -2x = -x -2 . . . . eliminate parentheses
x = 7 -2 = 5 . . . . . . add x+7; answer checks OK
Answer:
To calculate the mean we need x and f both
Answer: 8 Hours to finish her homework.
Step-by-step explanation: We know each page, or 1 page takes 1 hour to finish. We want to know how many hours it would take to take finish 8 pages of homework. To find this, simply multiply 1 by 8. (1 hour per page, or 1 hour for each of the 8 pages.)
1 x 8 = 8.
So it will take Meredith 8 hours to finish her homework.
Step-by-step explanation:
as just answered in the other question, the y-intercept is simply the y-value, when x=0.
it is -5 for function 1.
and function 2 clearly crosses the y-axis at y = -7, which is the y-intercept.
as -5 is greater than -7, function 1 had the greater y- intercept.
