Answer:

Part A:

The graph passes through (0,2) (1,3) (2,4).

If the graph that passes through these points represents a linear function, then the slope must be the same for any two given points. Using (0,2) and (1,3). Write in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b. y=x+2

Using (0,2) and (2,4). Write in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b. y=x+2. They are the same and in graph form, it gives us a straight line.

Since the slope is constant (the same) everywhere, the function is linear.

Part B:

A linear function is of the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

An example is y=2x-3

A linear function can also be of the form ax+by=c where a, b and c are constants. An example is 2x + 4y= 3

A non-linear function contains at least one of the following,

*Product of x and y

*Trigonometric function

*Exponential functions

*Logarithmic functions

*A degree which is not equal to 1 or 0.

An example is...xy= 1 or y= sqrt. x

An example of a linear function is 1/3x = y - 3

An example of a non-linear function is y= 2/3x

Have to write a slope intercept form from this equation 2x + 1.50y = 15

Scorpion4ik [409]

The equation is in standard form. Standard form is in this formula:
Ax + By = C
To convert a standard form to slope intercept form you first move Ax to the other side of the equation by inverse operations.
2x + 1.50y = 15
-2x -2x
1.50y = -2x + 15

You then divide B (From By) across the whole equation. (If you can't evenly divide make it a fraction)
1.50y = -2x + 15
1.50 1.50
y = -2/1.50x + 10

The fox population in a certain region has a relative growth rate of 4% per year. It is estimated that the population in year 20

den301095 [7]

Answer:

a) $P(t) = 17900e^{0.04t}$

b) The population estimated in 2008 is of 24651.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population growth model may be given by the following exponential function:

$P(t) = P_{0}e^{rt}$

In which P(t) is the population after t years, $P_{0}$ is the initial population and r is the growth rate.

(A.) Find a function that models the population t years after 2000 (t=0 for 2000)

We have that:

$P_{0} = 17900, r = 0.04$ . So

$P(t) = P_{0}e^{rt}$

$P(t) = 17900e^{0.04t}$

(B.) Use the function from part A to estimate the fox population in the year 2008.

2008 is 8 years after 2000. So:

$P(8) = 17900e^{0.04*8} = 24650.5$

The population estimated in 2008 is of 24651.

What is the probability that Jim, Bruce, Valerie, and Simon are selected in that order

irinina [24]

The first person can be chosen in 4 different ways.

The second person can be chosen in 3 different ways.

The third person can be chosen in 2 ways

The last person can only be chosen in 1 way.

4 * 3 * 2 * 1

there are 24 different ways that this can be done.

There is only 1 correct order.

The answer is 1/24 ways. 1/24 = 0.04166666

How do you solve the slope and y-intercept of a graph?

valkas [14]

Answer:

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
