Explain what independent and dependent variables mean

Mathematics
1 answer:
g100num [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

please give me brainlist and follow

Step-by-step explanation:

You can think of independent and dependent variables in terms of cause and effect: an independent variable is the variable you think is the cause, while a dependent variable is the effect. In an experiment, you manipulate the independent variable and measure the outcome in the dependent variable.

What is the x intercept that is perpendicular to y=4/3x+1 and passes through (-4,9)
kolezko [41]
Well, we know the line is perpendicular to that one above.... what is the slope of that one anyway?  well, notice, the equation is already in slope-intercept form   \bf y=\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{4}{3}}x+1.

so, we're looking for the equation of a line perpendicular to that one, now, since that one has a slope of 4/3, a perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope to that one, 

\bf \textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for}\quad \cfrac{4}{3}\\\\
negative\implies  -\cfrac{4}{ 3}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{ 3}{4}

so, what is the equation of a line whose slope is -3/4 and runs through -4,9?

\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1\\
&&(~ -4 &,& 9~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope =  m\implies -\cfrac{3}{4}
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-9=-\cfrac{3}{4}[x-(-4)]
\\\\\\
y-9=-\cfrac{3}{4}(x+4)

now, the x-intercept for any function is found by zeroing out the "y" and solving for "x", thus

\bf y-9=-\cfrac{3}{4}(x+4)\implies 0-9=-\cfrac{3}{4}(x+4)\implies -9=-\cfrac{3x}{4}-3
\\\\\\
-6=-\cfrac{3x}{4}\implies -24=-3x\implies \cfrac{-24}{-3}=x\implies 8=x

x = 8, y = 0           ( 8 , 0 )

G(x) = 3x -1. Find x such that g(x)= 2​​0​.
sergiy2304 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

i. 3x-1=20

or, 3x= 21

x= 7

ii. 3x+1= 22

3x= 21

x= 7

iii. 2x-5=99

2x= 104

x=52

iv. g(3)= 3+5/2= 11/2

g(0)= 0+ 5/2=5/2

g(-3)= -3+5/2 = -1/2

x+5/2= 0

so, x= -5/2

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

6(x-4y) = 6x - 24y

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to expand the given expression

We can do this using the distributive approach

We have this as;

(6 * x) - (6 * 4y)

= 6x - 24y
