To find slope use the equation (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
5 - 4 / 2--2
1/-4
The slope is -1/4
Hope this helps :)
Im not sure about the given data but I plotted the scatter plot based on what I understand on how the data should be presented.
Time (years)
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
Number of participants(x1000)
22, 25, 28, 14, 17, 20,15, 9
Attached is the scatter plot created online.
x = time (years)
y = number of participantep explanation
Answer:
D E + E F greater-than D F
5 less-than D F less-than 13
Triangle D E F is a scalene triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side
we have the triangle EDF
where

<u><em>Applying the triangle inequality theorem</em></u>
1)

2)

so
The length of DF is the interval -----> (5,13)
The triangle DEF is a scalene triangle (the three length sides are different)
therefore
<em>The statements that are true are</em>
D E + E F greater-than D F
5 less-than D F less-than 13
Triangle D E F is a scalene triangle
9/100 = 0.09.
it depends on your denominator
Answer: (f·g)(x) = -5x³ - 31x² + 62x + 18
(f·g)(-1) = -70
(fog)(x) = 25x² - 130x + 155
(fog)(-1) = 310
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
f(x) = x² + 8x + 2 g(x) = -5x + 9
(f·g)(x) = (x² + 8x + 2)(-5x + 9)
= -5x³ + 9x²
- 40x² + 72x
<u> - 10x + 18</u>
= -5x³ - 31x² + 62x + 18
(f·g)(-1)= -5(-1)³ - 31(-1)² + 62(-1) + 18
= -5(-1) - 31(1) - 62 + 18
= 5 - 31 - 62 + 18
= -70
****************************************************************************************
(fog)(x) = (-5x + 9)² + 8(-5x + 9) + 2
= 25x² - 90x + 81
- 40x + 72
<u> + 2</u>
= 25x² - 130x + 155
(fog)(-1) = 25(-1)² - 130(-1) + 155
= 25 + 130 + 155
= 310
<em>It wasn't clear if you wanted multiplication or composition so I solved both.</em>
