Answer:

Linear function

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = -\frac{1}{4}x + 5

Required

Linear or Exponential

A linear equation has the form: f(x) = mx + c;

An exponential has the form: f(x) = ab^x

By comparing both functions to: f(x) = -\frac{1}{4}x + 5

The linear function is similar to f(x) = -\frac{1}{4}x + 5

<em>Hence, the given function is a linear function.</em>

The scores on a math test are normally distributed with a mean of 64 and a standard deviation of 8. Tara scored 52 on the test.
Dvinal [7]
A z-score<span> is the number of standard deviations from the mean a data point is.
</span>
Standard deviation explains by how much the members of a group differ from the mean value for the group.
Using the z-score formula:
                                           z = ( x  - μ ) ÷ σ
Where;
            x = score
            μ = Mean
            σ = Standard deviation 

Z- Score (Tara) = ( 52 - 64 ) ÷ 8
                         = - 12 ÷ 8
                         = - 1.5 

Z- Score (Jamal)  = ( 82 - 64 ) ÷ 8
                             = 18 ÷ 8
                             = 2.25 

Z- Score (Samuel) = ( 66 - 64 ) ÷ 8
                               = 2 ÷ 8
                               = 0.25

Doug is a dog, and his friend Bert is a bird. They live in Salt Lake City, where the streets are 1/16 miles apart and arranged i
DerKrebs [107]

No map given but it shouldn't matter.

E is the 5th letter, L the 12th.

Start at S(6,12).  End at E(10,5)

The vector between them, E-S=(4,-7)

Each unit is 1/16 of a mile, though that probably doesn't matter that much.

Doug has to stay on the grid, so has to run |4|+|7|=11 units.  At 30 mi/hr that takes (11/16)/30 =  0.022916 hours.

Bert can go diagonally, so flies √(4²+7²)=√65 ≈ 8.06 units.  At 20 mi/hr that takes (8.06/16)/20 = 0.025194 hours.

Answer:  Doug wins

Why? Because it's quicker to cover 4+7 at 30 mph than it is to cover √(4²+7²) at 20 mph.  That is, Doug is 1.5 times faster and the 1.5 times the diagonal distance is more than the grid distance.

Answer:

  A: 8x +24

  B: not equivalent for any value of x

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A</u>:

The factor of 4 on the outside of parentheses multiplies each term inside:

  M = 4(2x) +4(6)

  M = 8x +24 . . . . . expression equivalent to M

__

<u>Part B</u>:

Expressions M and N are not equivalent for any value of x. They are equivalent if their difference is zero or can be made to be zero. Subtracting N from M, we find the difference to be ...

  M -N = (8x +24) -(8x +10) = 14

There is no value of x that will make the difference of 14 become zero.
