Answer:

Option C = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

In principle when a function <em>f(x) </em>varies directly with <em>x</em> it suggests that any changes in x results in the equivalent changes in<em> f(x)</em>. If we have two variables, i.e. <em>y</em> representing<em> f(x)</em> and <em>x</em> representing itself, any increment/decrement in <em>x</em> will result to the same increment/decrement in <em>y</em> by a factor <em>a, thus we can say that y = ax, implying y and x have the same ratio. </em>

In the given question we know that <em>f(x) = 45</em> when x=9<em>, </em>which translates as

f(x=9) = 45

This tells us that f(x) varies by a factor (lets call it) a for a given value of x.

To find this factor we can just divide 45 with 9 which gives: \frac{45}{9} = 5

Thus the factor a here is a=5 which finally tells us that

f(x) = 5x    Eqn (1) our original function.

Since we now know our function we can plug in the value for x=3 and solve for f(x=3) as follow:

f(x=3)= 5*3

f(x=3) = 15

f(3) = 15

Looking at the given options in the question we can conclude that the correct answer is Option C = 15

Give an example for a pair of alternate interior angles, a pair of corresponding angles, and a pair of alternate exterior angles
cluponka [151]

Answer:

One way to identify alternate exterior angles is to see that they are the vertical angles of the alternate interior angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

so if I was you I would use that strategy to try to find the pair of the Alternate exterior angles.

so the agles are probably 1 and 7 but i don’t want you to get it wrong so here’s a picture Of an example.

What is the equation of the line perpendicular to the line y=3x+2 and passing through the point (3, -4)
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

<h2>D: y= -(1/3)x -3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(3, -4)=(x,y)\\y=3x+2\\\\m_1 =3\\In\: perpendicular\: line ;\\\\m_2 = \frac{-1}{m_1} \\m_2 = \frac{-1}{3} \\m_2 = -1/3\\\\Substitute \:new\:values\:into\: ;y=mx+b\\\\-4 = -\frac{1}{3} (3) + b\\-4 = -1 +b\\-4+1 =b\\-3 =b\\Substitute \:new\:values\:into\: ;y=mx+b\\y =-\frac{1}{3}x -3
