Answer:

  false

Step-by-step explanation:

The conjecture shown in this problem statement does not follow from the examples offered. They support the notion that ...

  1/x ≤ x . . . . for x ≥ 0 (<u>not x ≤ 0</u>)

There are several possible counterexamples showing the conjecture is FALSE.

  1. 1/0 is undefined
  2. 1/(-5) > -5 . . . . . . . . a case for x < 0

If the intended domain is x ≥ 0, then the conjecture can also be demonstrated to be false for 0 < x < 1:

  1. 1/(1/5) > 1/5

Which two tables represent the same function?
topjm [15]

Answer:

The 1st and the 5th tables represent the same function

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- There are five tables of functions, two of them are equal

- To find the two equal function lets find their equations

- The form of the equation of a line whose endpoints are (x1 , y1) and

  (x2 , y2) is \frac{y-y_{1}}{x-x_{1}}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

* Lets make the equation of each table

# (x1 , y1) = (4 , 8) and (x2 , y2) = (6 , 7)

∵ x1 = 4 , x2 = 6 and y1 = 8 , y2 = 7

∴ \frac{y-8}{x-4}=\frac{7-8}{6-4}

∴ \frac{y-8}{x-4}=\frac{-1}{2}

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 2(y - 8) = -1(x - 4) ⇒ simplify

∴ 2y - 16 = -x + 4 ⇒ add x and 16 for two sides

∴ x + 2y = 20 ⇒ (1)

# (x1 , y1) = (4 , 5) and (x2 , y2) = (6 , 4)

∵ x1 = 4 , x2 = 6 and y1 = 5 , y2 = 4

∴ \frac{y-5}{x-4}=\frac{4-5}{6-4}

∴ \frac{y-5}{x-4}=\frac{-1}{2}

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 2(y - 5) = -1(x - 4) ⇒ simplify

∴ 2y - 10 = -x + 4 ⇒ add x and 10 for two sides

∴ x + 2y = 14 ⇒ (2)

# (x1 , y1) = (2 , 8) and (x2 , y2) = (8 , 5)

∵ x1 = 2 , x2 = 8 and y1 = 8 , y2 = 5

∴ \frac{y-8}{x-2}=\frac{5-8}{8-2}

∴ \frac{y-8}{x-2}=\frac{-3}{6}=====\frac{y-8}{x-2}=\frac{-1}{2}

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 2(y - 8) = -1(x - 2) ⇒ simplify

∴ 2y - 16 = -x + 2 ⇒ add x and 16 for two sides

∴ x + 2y = 18 ⇒ (3)

# (x1 , y1) = (2 , 10) and (x2 , y2) = (6 , 14)

∵ x1 = 2 , x2 = 6 and y1 = 10 , y2 = 14

∴ \frac{y-10}{x-2}=\frac{14-10}{6-2}

∴ \frac{y-10}{x-2}=\frac{4}{4}======\frac{y-10}{x-2}=1

- By using cross multiplication

∴ (y - 10) = (x - 2)

∴ y - 10 = x - 2 ⇒ add 2 and subtract y in the two sides

∴ -8 = x - y ⇒ switch the two sides

∴ x - y = -8 ⇒ (4)

# (x1 , y1) = (2 , 9) and (x2 , y2) = (8 , 6)

∵ x1 = 2 , x2 = 8 and y1 = 9 , y2 = 6

∴ \frac{y-9}{x-2}=\frac{6-9}{8-2}

∴ \frac{y-9}{x-2}=\frac{-3}{6}======\frac{y-9}{x-2}=\frac{-1}{2}

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 2(y - 9) = -1(x - 2) ⇒ simplify

∴ 2y - 18 = -x + 2 ⇒ add x and 18 for two sides

∴ x + 2y = 20 ⇒ (5)

- Equations (1) and (5) are the same

∴ The 1st and the 5th tables represent the same function

if a shape is a regular pentagon with five sides, which of the following must be true? Check all that apply
julsineya [31]

Answer:

A. It has reflectional symmetry

B. It is symmetrical

D. It has five lines of symmetry

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A regular pentagon has 5 sides and 5 lines of symmetry. The number of lines of symmetry in a regular polygon is equal to the number of sides

Every regular polygon has reflectional symmetry

Regular polygons are symmetrical

therefore

A. It has reflectional symmetry ------> Is true

B. It is symmetrical -----> Is true

C. It has exactly one line of symmetry ----> Is false

D. It has five lines of symmetry -----> Is true

HELPPP ME PLEASE WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF YOU GIVE ME THE CORRECT ANSWER
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties for the vertical stretch or shrink of a function,

If a function is f(x) = k|x|

1). Function will be vertically stretched if k > 1

2). Function will have a vertical shrink if 0 < k < 1

To fit the given data graph of f(x) = |x| will vertically shrink without any translation along x or y-axis.

And the value of k will be, 0 < k < 1.

Therefore, g(x) = \frac{1}{3}f(x) will be the transformed graph.

Therefore, Option (3) will be the correct option.
