Answer:

From top to bottom:

0, 1, 2, -8, -8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the piecewise function:

g(x) = \left\{        \begin{array}{ll}            0.5x+1 & \text{if } x \leq 2 \\            -8 & \text{if } x > 2        \end{array}    \right.

Row 1:

We want to find g(-2).

Since -2 is less than (or equal to) 2, we will use the first equation. Thus:

g(-2)=0.5(-2)+1=-1+1=0

Row 2:

Likewise, 0 is less than or equal to 2. We will continue to use the first equation:

g(0)=0.5(0)+1=1

Row 3:

2 is not less than 2 but it is equal to 2. So we will continue to use the first equation:

g(2)=0.5(2)+1=1+1=2

Row 4 and 5:

Both 4 and 6 are greater than 2. Thus, we will use the second equation. Therefore:

g(4)=-8\text{ and } g(6)=-8

What is the value of the x-coordinate of point W? Enter your answer as a decimal to the nearest o.5.
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The value of the x-coordinate is -3.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the x-coordinate you have to look at how far the point is on the x-axis which is the sideways line of the graph.

Point W is between -3 and -4 on the x-axis which would make the x-coordinate -3.5.

Hope this helps!

There is a bag filled with 4 blue, 3 red and 5 green marbles.
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

You are selecting marbles with replacement. The marble selections (trials) are independent and the marble selection follows the binomial distribution.

The probability of selecting a red marble the first time is 1313.

(This is because 4 out of 12 marbles are red and412412 reduces to 1313.

The probability of selecting a red marble the second time is 1313.

The marble selections are independent and you can multiply the two probabilities to get the following:

probability of getting 2 reds = (13)2(13)2

=19=19.

So the probability of getting two reds is 1919.

What is the slope between the points 5,-1 and -2,-3?
pishuonlain [190]
To find slope, use the equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). In your case, the equation is going to look like (-3 - -1)/(5 - -2) or (-3 +1)/(5 + 2), and that simplifies to -2/7.

Convert 8 21/40 to a decimal
Harman [31]
= 8 21/40

= 8 + 21/40

= 8/1 + 21/40

= (8/1 * 40/40) + 21/40

= 320/40 + 21/40

= 341/40

= 341 ÷ 40

= 8.525
