We need to find the linear function represents the line given by the point-slope equation.

Given options:

y + 7 = –(x + 6).

f(x) = –2/3x – 11.

f(x) = –2/3x – 1.

f(x) = –2/3x + 3.

f(x) = –2/3x + 13.

Point -slope form of the linear equation is in the form y-y1 = m(x - x1).

Where (x1, y1) is given point and m is the slope.

In the given options we have first option y + 7 = –(x + 6).

And it could be written as y-(-7) = -1(x-(-6))

We can see point (x1,y1) = (-7,-6) and slope m= -1.

<h3>Therefore, first option y + 7 = –(x + 6) is correct option.</h3>

A carpenter has a 10 1/2 foot wood plank. He cuts off 4 1/4 feet to replace a deck board as well as 3 2/3 feet to repair a step.

suter [353]

Answer:

The carpenter used 2 7/4 feet of plank for the shelf

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of plank =10 1/2 foot

He used

For Deck board=4 1/4 feet

Step=3 2/3 feet

Shelf=x feet

Total plank=deck board + step + shelf

10 1/2 = 4 1/4 + 3 2/3 + x

Change the fractions

21/2 = 17/4 + 11/3 + x

Add 17/4 + 11/3

21/2 =51+44/12 + x

21/2= 95/12 + x

Collect like terms

21/2 - 95/12 =x

126-95/12 = x

31/12=x

2 7/12 =x

Therefore, the carpenter used 2 7/4 feet of plank for the shelf

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of plank =10 1/2 foot

He used

For Deck board=4 1/4

Step=3 2/3

Shelf=x

Total plank=deck board + step + shelf

10 1/2 = 4 1/4 + 3 2/3 + x

Prove that the value of the expression does not depend on the variable x:

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

If an expression is not dependent on x, it simplified form must not contain x. To show that this is the case for (a) and (b) we need to simplify them and assess:

(a)

$(x-5)(x+8)-(x+4)(x-1)=\\=x^2-5x+8x-40-x^2-4x+x+4=-36$

Indeed, does not depend on x!

And (b)

$x^4-(x^2-1)(x^2+1)=x^4-x^4+x^2-x^2+1=1$

Again, does not depend on x.

Ali, Ben, and Cliff plant seedlings in their neighborhood park. Ali plants 40% of the total number of seedlings, Ben plants 45%

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

580 seedlings altogether.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Ali plants 40% of the total number of seedlings, Ben plants 45% of the total number of seedlings, and Cliff plants the rest of the seedlings. Cliff plants 87 seedlings.

The percentage of the seedling planted by Cliff = 100% - 45% - 40% = 15%

<em>Let x = the total number of seedlings</em>

<em /> $15\%\ of\ x=87\\\\x=\dfrac{87\times 100}{15}\\\\x=580$

Hence, three boys plant 580 seedlings altogether.

Find the recursive quadratic formula of the sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21

Anika [276]

The sequence

1, 3, 7, 13, 21, ...

has first-order differences

2, 4, 6, 8, ...

Let $a_n$ denote the original sequence, and $b_n$ the sequence of first-order differences. It's quite clear that

$b_n=2n$

for $n\ge1$ . By definition of first-order differences, we have

$b_n=a_{n+1}-a_n$

for $n\ge1$ , or

$a_{n+1}=a_n+2n$

By substitution, we have

$a_n=a_{n-1}+2(n-1)$

$\implies a_{n+1}=(a_{n-1}+2(n-1))+2n$

$\implies a_{n+1}=a_{n-1}+2(n+(n-1))$

$a_{n-1}=a_{n-2}+2(n-2)$

$\implies a_{n+1}=(a_{n-2}+2(n-2))+2(n+(n-1))$

$\implies a_{n+1}=a_{n-2}+2(n+(n-1)+(n-2))$

and so on, down to

$a_{n+1}=a_1+2(n+(n-1)+\cdots+2+1)$

You should know that

$1+2+\cdots+(n-1)+n=\dfrac{n(n+1)}2$

and we're given $a_1=1$ , so

$a_{n+1}=1+n(n+1)=n^2+n+1$

or

$a_n=(n-1)^2+(n-1)+1\implies\boxed{a_n=n^2-n+1}$

Alternatively, since we already know the sequence is supposed to be quadratic, we can look for coefficients $a,b,c$ such that

$a_n=an^2+bn+c$

We have

$a_1=a+b+c=1$

$a_2=4a+2b+c=3$

$a_3=9a+3b+c=7$

and we can solve this system for the 3 unknowns to find $a=1,b=-1,c=1$ .
