Step-by-step explanation:

f(0)=-2(0)-9=0-9=-9

f(1/2)=-(1/2)-9=-1/2 -9=-19/2

f(-2)=-2(-2)-9=4-9=-5

Answer:

f(0) = -9
f(1/2) = -10
f(-2) = -5

Concept:

Here, we need to understand the idea of evaluation.

When encountering questions that gave you an expression with variables, then stated: "If x = a, y = b, z = c" (a, b, c are all constants), this means you should substitute the value given for each variable back to the expression.

Solve:

Question One. Identify the value of f(0)

f(x) = -2x - 9

f(0) = -2(0) - 9

f(0) = 0 - 9

f(0) = -9

Question Two. Identify the value of f(1/2)

f(x) = -2x - 9

f(1/2) = -2(1/2) - 9

f(1/2) = -1 - 9

f(1/2) = -10

Question Three. Identify the value of f(-2)

f(x) = -2x - 9

f(-2) = -2(-2) - 9

f(-2) = 4 - 9

f(-2) = -5

Hope this helps!! :)

Two airplanes are flying to the same airport. Their positions are shown in the graph. Write a system of linear equations that re

wariber [46]

Answer:

Airplane #1 equation: y=5/13x+42/13

Airplane #2 equation: y=1/3x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

So to find the slope of each airplane, you use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1. That means, for airplane#1 the equation will be 9-4/15-2. Simplify this and get 5/13. Then, for airplane#2, the equation will be 12-9/6-15. Simplify this and get 3/-9 and divide each side by 3 to get 1/-3 or -1/3. Next, use point slope formula to find the system of linear equations. Point slope formula is y-y1=m(x-x1). M is the slope. Use any point from the line. In this case, I will use (2,4). Tat means the first airplane's equation would be y-4=5/13(x-2). Then y-4=5/13x-10/13. Then, convert four into a fraction with a denominator of 13. This means, you have to multiply 4 by 13 to get 52/13. Add 52/13 to -10/13 to get 42/13. That means the first equation will be y=5/13x+42/13. The second equation point will be (6,12). This means the equation will be y-12=-1/3(x-6). Simplify this to get y-12=-1/3x+2. Simplify this to get y=1/3x+14. Therefore, Airplane#1 equation will be y=5/13x+42/13 and airplane #2 equation will be y=1/3x+14.

Hope this helps

A truck is used to transport gravel. The box on the truck is a rectangular prism 11 ft long, 7 ft wide and 4 ft high. The box do

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

308 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The box on the truck has dimensions 11 ft by 7 ft by 4 ft.

The volume of the box is:

V = L * W * H

V = 11 * 7 * 4

V = 308 cubic feet

The truck can transport 308 cubic feet of gravel.

find the volume of a solid that is generated by rotating around the indicated axis the plane region bounded by the giveb curves:

Fofino [41]

Assuming the area below the line y=0 (i.e. x>1) does NOT count, the area to be rotated is shown in the graph attached.

A. Again, using Pappus's theorem,
Area, A = (2/3)*1*(1-(-1))=4/3 (2/3 of the enclosing rectangle, or you can integrate)
Distance of centroid from axis of rotation, R = (2-0) = 2
Volume = 2 π RA = 2 π 2 * 4/3 = 16 π / 3 (approximately = 16.76 units)

B. By integration, using the washer method
Volume = $2\pi\int_{-1}^1(1-x^2)(2-x)dx$
$=2\pi\int_{-1}^1(x^3-2x^2-x+2)dx$
$=2\pi[x^4/4-2x^3/3-x^2/2+2x]_{-1}^{1}$
$=2\pi([1/4-2/3-1/2+2]-[1/4+2/3-1/2-2])$
$=2\pi(8/3)$
= 16 π /3 as before
