Given:

Consider the given function:

f(x)=\dfrac{b\cdot(x-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot(x-b)}{a-b}

To prove:

f(a)+f(b)=f(a+b)

Solution:

We have,

f(x)=\dfrac{b\cdot(x-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (x-b)}{a-b}

Substituting x=a, we get

f(a)=\dfrac{b\cdot(a-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a-b)}{a-b}

f(a)=\dfrac{b\cdot 0}{b-a}+\dfrac{a}{1}

f(a)=0+a

f(a)=a

Substituting x=b, we get

f(b)=\dfrac{b\cdot(b-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (b-b)}{a-b}

f(b)=\dfrac{b}{1}+\dfrac{a\cdot 0}{a-b}

f(b)=b+0

f(b)=b

Substituting x=a+b, we get

f(a+b)=\dfrac{b\cdot(a+b-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a+b-b)}{a-b}

f(a+b)=\dfrac{b\cdot (b)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a)}{-(b-a)}

f(a+b)=\dfrac{b^2}{b-a}-\dfrac{a^2}{b-a}

f(a+b)=\dfrac{b^2-a^2}{b-a}

Using the algebraic formula, we get

f(a+b)=\dfrac{(b-a)(b+a)}{b-a}          [\because b^2-a^2=(b-a)(b+a)]

f(a+b)=b+a

f(a+b)=a+b               [Commutative property of addition]

Now,

LHS=f(a)+f(b)

LHS=a+b

LHS=f(a+b)

LHS=RHS

Hence proved.

What is the value of the expression 18-2×(4+3)
Vika [28.1K]
The value would be 4.

First, you have to do 4 + 3 because it's in parenteces. This equals 7
Secondly, you have to do 2 x 7, which is 14.
Last you have to do 18 - 14 which is 4.

PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS<br><br> THANK U!!
V125BC [204]
Step 1) Draw a dashed line through the points (0,6) and (4,7). These two points are on the line y = (1/4)x+6. To find those points, you plug in x = 0 to get y = 6. Similarly, plug in x = 4 to get y = 7. The dashed line indicates that none of the points on this line are part of the solution set.

Step 2) Draw a dashed line through (0,-1) and (1,1). These two points are on the line y = 2x-1. They are found in a similar fashion as done in step 1. 

Step 3) Shade the region that is above both dashed lines. We shade above because of the "greater than" sign. This is shown in the attached image I am providing below. The red shaded region represents all of the possible points that are the solution set. Once again, any point on the dashed line is not in the solution set.
