For any linear function f(x) = mx + b, when does kf(x) = f(kx)?

Mathematics

Only when <em>b</em> = 0 or <em>k</em> = 1<em>.</em>

If <em>f(x)</em> = <em>mx</em> + <em>b</em>, then

<em>f</em> (<em>kx</em>) = <em>m</em> (<em>kx</em>) + <em>b</em> = <em>mkx</em> + <em>b</em>

while

<em>k</em> <em>f(x)</em> = <em>k</em> (<em>mx</em> + <em>b</em>) = <em>kmx</em> + <em>kb</em>

The two expression are identical only if

<em>kb</em> = <em>b</em>   ===>   <em>kb</em> - <em>b</em> = 0   ===>   <em>b</em> (<em>k</em> - 1) = 0   ===>   <em>b</em> = 0 or <em>k</em> = 1

Write the linear equation that gives the rule for this table.
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The linear equation that gives the rule of the table is f(x) = x + 25

The linear equation can be represented in a slope intercept form as follows:

y = mx + b

where

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Therefore,

Using the table let get 2 points

(2, 27)(3, 28)

let find the slope

m = 28 - 27 / 3 -2 = 1

let's find b using (2, 27)

27 = 2 + b

b = 25

Therefore,

y = x + 25

f(x) = x + 25

How much fabric is needed to make a tent in the shape of a triangular prism with the following measures?
Contact [7]

Answer:

The fabric needs 196.4 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The tent formed formed from 4 faces

  two equilateral triangles with side length 7 ft

  two rectangles with dimensions 11 ft and 7 ft

∵ Area equilateral Δ = 1/4 S²√3

∵ Area rectangle = L × W

∴ The area of the prism = 2 × 1/4 × (7)²√3 + 2 × 7 × 11

                                        = 196.4 ft²

Note:

If you find the area of the triangle by the rule 1/2 × base × height

∴ Area Δ = 1/2 × (7) × 6 = 21 ft²

∴ Area tent = 2 × 21 + 2 × 77 = 196 ft²

Which of the following represents the distance
Lunna [17]

Answer:

D.  d = sqrt( ( x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

C.   d = sqrt( ( x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2)

B.  d = sqrt( (|x2-x1|^2 + |y2-y1|^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points (x1, y1) and (x2,y2)  we can find the distance using

d = sqrt( ( x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

The order of the terms inside the square doesn't matter

d = sqrt( ( x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2)

When we are squaring are term, we can take the absolute value before we square and it does not change the value

d = sqrt( (|x2-x1|^2 + |y2-y1|^2)
