A translation and dilation
Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
So, x is our unknown variable. An so you have to ask yourself, what times 12= 72? The answer would be 6, because 12x6=72
The proper way to do it, would be to divide 12/12 so you isolate the variable, and what you do to one side, you do to the other, so divide 72 by 12 and you get 6! Hope this helps!
Answer
Good question!
A. false. Even though 5 is usually greater than 2, in this case it is less because it is negative and positives are always greater than negatives.
B. true. Just like the last question, positives are always greater than negatives and even though 8 is usually greater than 3, in this case the 3 is a negative so it is less.
C. true. Think about which number is closer to the number line. When we are talking about negative numbers, the number closer to the number line is greater.
D. false. Same concept as the last question where -12 is closer to the number line than -12.5 so -12 is actually greater.
If you have any additional questions feel free to ask me or your teacher so you can really master what you're learning. :)
Answer:
3. f(12) = -10; f(37) = -60
4. f(12) = -102; f(37) = -352
Step-by-step explanation:
3. Put the numbers in the formula and do the arithmetic:
f(12) = 12 -2(12-1) = 12 -22 = -10
f(37) = 12 -2(37-1) = 12 -72 = -60

4. The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence with first term a1 and common difference d is ...
an = a1 +d(n -1)
Your sequence has a first term a1=8 and a common difference d=-10.
As above, fill in the numbers and do the arithmetic.
f(12) = 8 -10(12 -1) = -102
f(37) = 8 -10(37-1) = -352
