A line includes the points (4,1) and (8, 2). What is its equation in slope-intercept form?

Answer: y = 4x

Step-by-step explanation: Slope intercept form is y = mx + b where m is the slop and b is the x intercept

We can solve for slope using the given points

(2-1)/(8-4) = 1/4, thus m = 1/4

y = 1/4x +b

Now to solve for b, we can just plug in one of the points to see what makes b work

1 = 4*(1/4) + b

1 = 1 +b

b = 0

Find the x-intercepts of the parabola with
12345 [234]

Answer:

x-intercepts are (0, 0) and (-6, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

equation of a parabola in vertex form:  y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) is the vertex

Substituting the given vertex (-3, -18) into the equation:

y = a(x + 3)² - 18

If the y-intercept is (0, 0) then substitute x=0 and y=0 into the equation and solve for a:

0 = a(0 + 3)² - 18

⇒ 0 = a(3)² - 18

⇒ 0 = 9a - 18

⇒ 9a = 18

⇒ a = 2

Therefore, y = 2(x + 3)² - 18

To find the x-intercepts, set the equation to 0 and solve for x:

                                 2(x + 3)² - 18 = 0

Add 18 to both sides:     2(x + 3)² = 18

Divide both sides by 2:    (x + 3)² = 9

Square root both sides:      x + 3 = ±3

Subtract 3 from both sides:  x = ±3 - 3

so x = 3 - 3 = 0  

and  x = -3 - 3 = -6

So x-intercepts are (0, 0) and (-6, 0)

A customer wants you to enlarge a photo to 22 its current height. The photo's current height is 31 inches. What should its enlar
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The enlarged height of the photo must be 682 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A customer wants to enlarge the image by 22 times

Hence, the scale factor = +22

Now, the current height of the photo = 31 inches

Therefore, to find the enlarged height : we need to multiply the scale factor of the required image by the current height of the photo.

Hence, Enlarged Height = 22 × 31

                                         = 682 inches

So, The enlarged height of the photo must be 682 inches

H(x) = 2^x<br>Solve the equation h^-1 (x) =0.5​
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>\sqrt{2}  \:  \: or \:  \: 1.414</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>h(x) =  {2}^{x}</h3>

To solve the equation we must first find h-¹(x)

To find h-¹(x) equate h(x) to y

That's

<h3>y =  {2}^{x}</h3>

<u>Next interchange the terms </u>

x becomes y and y becomes x

That's

<h3>{2}^{y}  = x</h3>

<u>Make y the subject</u>

Take logarithm to base 2 to both sides

That's

<h3>log_{2}( {2} )^{y}  =  log_{2}x \\ y  log_{2}2 =  log_{2}(x)</h3>

But

<h3>log_{2}(2)  = 1</h3><h3>y =  log_{2}(x)</h3>

So we have

<h3>{h}^{ - 1} (x) =  log_{2}(x)</h3>

Now we can solve the equation

We have

<h3>log_{2}(x)  = 0.5</h3>

Convert the logarithm into exponential form using the fact that

<h3>log_{a}(x)  = b \:  \:  \cong \:  \: x =  {a}^{b}</h3>

So we have

<h3>x =  {2}^{0.5}</h3>

But

<h3>{2}^{0.5}  =  \sqrt{2}</h3>

So we have the final answer as

<h3>\sqrt{2}  \:  \: or \:  \: 1.414</h3>

Hope this helps you
