Don’t really know what linear functions are

Answer:

The rate of change of f(x) is greater than that of g(x)

They have the same y intercept of 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

g(x) = -\frac{1}{2}x + 14

Table for function f(x)

Required

Compare their rate of change and intercept

For g(x), we have:

g(x) = -\frac{1}{2}x + 14

The form of an equation is:

y = mx + b

Where

m = slope

b =y\ intercept

So:

m = -\frac{1}{4}

b = 14

For f(x): Start by calculating the slope (m)

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

m = \frac{17-16}{6-4}

m = \frac{1}{2}

The intercept is calculated using:

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Where

(x_1,y_1) = (-2,13)

(x_2,y_2) = (0,y) --- we want to solve for y

So:

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{y - 13}{0 --2}

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{y - 13}{2}

Multiply both sides by 2

1 =y - 13

Make y the subject

y =1 + 13

y = 14

So, we have:

m = -\frac{1}{4} and b = 14 -- for g(x)

m = \frac{1}{2} and y = 14 --- for f(x)

By comparison:

The rate of change (i.e. slope) of f(x) is greater than that of g(x) because 1/2 > -1/2

They have the same y intercept of 14

The sum of 4 consecutive multiples of 6 is 540. What is the greatest of these numbers?
pychu [463]

Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

First: 6x

Second: 6x+6

Third: 6x+12

Fourth: 6x+18

- Since they're multiples of 6

6x+6x+6+6x+12+6x+18=540

24x+36=540\\

Subract 36 from each side give us...

24x=504\\x=21

21(6)+18=144

Hope this helped! Please mark brainliest :)

I don't really get it plz help tell if it's a regular or not regular polygon
ladessa [460]
So the definition of a regular polygon is that the sides are all equal, the interior angles are all equal, and the exterior angles are all equal.
Notice how with #s 3 and 4, the angles are all shown as equal, as well as their sides. However, #s 5 and 6 have different angles and sides, respectively.
Therefore 3 and 4 are regular, but 5 and 6 are irregular (not regular).
