Find the slope of the line passing through the points (5, 6) and (5,-8)

Mathematics

5 0

Answer:

Undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is equal to the change in y over the change in x.

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Let your points (5, 6) be (x₁, y₁) and (5,-8) be (x₂, y₂). Therefore you have

m = (-8 - 6) / (5 - 5) = -14 / 0

Dividing by zero will lead you to have an undefined slope

What is the inverse of the function g(x)=x^3/8+16

shtirl [24]

Answer:

The inverse of the function is $f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt[3]{\frac{x-16}{8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse of a function:

Suppose we have a function y = g(x). To find the inverse, we exchange the values of x and y, and then isolate y.

In this question:

$y = \frac{x^3}{8} + 16$

Exchanging x and y:

$x = \frac{y^3}{8} + 16$

$\frac{y^3}{8} = x - 16$

$y^3 = \frac{x-16}{8}$

$y = \sqrt[3]{\frac{x-16}{8}}$

The inverse of the function is $f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt[3]{\frac{x-16}{8}}$

75% of the normal price of headphones is 45$. What's the normal price?

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

60$ is the normal price.

Why:

Because if 45$ is 75%, then 30$ is 50%, 15 is 25%, and 0 is 0%. 50% + 50% = 100%. (That's how I did this one, anyway. This works on any 25%, 50%, or 75% problem.)

I HAVE ANOTHER CLASS TODAY AND NEED TO FINISH IT RIGHT NOW (MAYBE 20 MIN MAX) SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP, ME! ANY ANNOYING OR FAKE ANS

Answer:

|x - 5| = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are not given a zero on the number line, we do the following:

Average = midpoint between two numbers on the number line

For this number line,

Average = 3 + 7 ÷ 2

Average = 5

Next we find how many units away are each number from the middle:

3 is 2 units away from 5

7 is 2 units away from 5

Units away = 2

Let's use the formula:

|x - average| = Units away

Substitute values into equation

|x - 5| = 2

Now we solve

Solve for x over the integers:

|x - 5| = 2

Split the equation into two possible equations:

x - 5 = 2 or x - 5 = -2

Add 5 to both sides:

x = -5 + 5 = 2 + 5 or x - 5 + 5 = -2 + 5

Answer:

x = 7 or x = 3

A function is shown in the table.

Anna71 [15]

Given:
x g(x)
−3 17
−1 −3
0 −4
2 13

The true statement for the given function is:
The function is decreasing from x = −3 to x = −1.

As you can see, when x = -3 the corresponding value of the function is 17 but when x = -1 the corresponding value is -3. There is a decrease of 20. → 17 - 20 = -3
