<span><u><em>The correct answer is: </em></u>
no.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u><span><u><em>: </em></u>
For a function to be decreasing over an interval, <u>the value of the function, f(x), must decrease as x increases</u>. This does not, however, mean that the values of the function are negative. The function could have a positive range while still decreasing (becoming smaller positive numbers as x increase).</span></span>

Answer:

The function may not be negative if the function is decreasing over a given interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the function be f(x)

If the function f(x) is decreasing then it implies that the value of the function f(x) is decreasing with the increase in value of x over the given interval.

A function f(x) is said to be decreasing if the derivative of the function f'(x) is negative. This does not implies that the function is negative.

Hence, The function may not be negative if the function is decreasing over a given interval.

The answer has to be in y-intercept form. Which is y=mx+b and b can also be neg. y=mx-b. The m is your slope and b is your y-intercept. So A’s slope counting from 3 on the y axis to 1 on the x-axis which is down 2 over 1 so it will be -2/1. And your y intercept is 3. The equation is y=-2x+3. For B its the same thing but no graph. Remember that slope is RISE over RUN. So since the number is on the bottom of the line the rise is 4 and the run is 1. So in this case 10 is your y-intercept. Which means you equation is y=4x+10.

Find the diameter(s) of circle O.
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The diameter of the circle O is <em>12 units</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no data in the image provided. To better help you, I'm assuming we have an arbitrary value of  

BC=6\sqrt{2}

and the triangle B0C is right

<u>Relations in the Circle</u>

The diameter (D) is twice the radius (r) and the radius is the distance measured from the center of the circle to any point of the circumference.  

Since the triangle B0C has a right angle, BD is the hypotenuse and 0B=0C=r

Applying Pythagoras's theorem:

BC^2=r^2+r^2=2r^2

Thus we have

2r^2=(6\sqrt{2})^2

2r^2=72

r^2=36

r=6

The diameter of the circle O is D=2(6) = 12 units

When a number is increased by 8.2%, the result is 106. What is the original number to the nearest tenth?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number = x

x+\frac{8.2}{100}*x=106\\\\x+0.082x=106\\\\1.082x=106\\\\x=\frac{106}{1.082}\\\\x=\frac{106*1000}{1.082*1000}\\\\x=\frac{106000}{1082}\\\\x=97.96\\\\

x=98.0

x=98
