Answer: 5a + 2b
Step-by-step explanation:
She purchased 12a pounds of apples and she used 7a pounds, so that means 12a - 7a = 5a
She purchased 4b pounds of bananas and used 2b pounds, so that means 4b - 2b = 2b
Answer:
The cosine function that is represented in the graph is:
Option B. f(x)=cos (x-pi/4)-1
Step-by-step explanation:
The parent function is cos x.
cos x at x=0 has the maximum value 1.
The graph is shifted to the right (x-pi/4) with a maximum value 0 at x=pi/4, then the graph is shifted downward 1 unit.
Then f(x)=cos (x-pi/4)-1
Please, see the attached graph:
The blue line is the parent function y=cos x
The red line is the graph given
X(exponent 2) - x - 6
------------------------- =
x(exponent 2) -4
(x-3)(x+2)
------------- =
(x-2)(x+2)
Cancel out the x + 2 factors.
x-3
---- <== ANSWER
x-2
Hope this helps! :)
RemarkThe very first thing you should do with a question like this is get the graph. Then you will know what you are looking for. I have provided you with such a graph. Your table should center around -2 ≤ x ≤ -1
So let's set up a table and see what we get. Start with y = x + 5
x x + 5
-1 4
-1.25 3.75
-1.5 3.5
-1.75 3.25
-2 3
Do the same thing for - (3)^x + 4 See below to see how this is entered your calculator
x -(3)^x + 4
-1 3.66
-1.25 3.75
-1.5 3.8
-1.75 3.85
-2 3.89
ConclusionWhen x = - 1.25 y = 3.75 for both graphs. <<<< Answer
FootnoteYou may not be familiar with how to put this in your calculator. This is the way I would do it. I'm only doing it for y = -(3^x) + 4
Let x = - 1.25
