Answer: f(x) = - 7x/17 - 29/17
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression for the function f(x) would be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c
Where
c represents the y intercept.
m represents the slope of the line.
Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis represent
change in the value of y = y2 - y1
Change in value of x = x2 -x1
The line passes through (8, - 5) and (- 9, 2),
y2 = 2
y1 = - 5
x2 = - 9
x1 = 8
Slope,m = ( 2 - - 5)/(- 9 - 8) = 7/- 17 =
- 7/17
To determine the intercept, we would substitute x = 8, y = - 5 and m = - 7/17 into
y = mx + c. It becomes
- 5 = - 7/17 × 8 + c
- 5 = - 56/17 + c
c = - 5 + 56/17
c = - 29/17
The equation becomes
f(x) = - 7x/17 - 29/17
Answer:
- 892 lb (right)
- 653 lb (left)
Step-by-step explanation:
The weight is in equilibrium, so the net force on it is zero. If R and L represent the tensions in the Right and Left cables, respectively ...
Rcos(45°) +Lcos(75°) = 800
Rsin(45°) -Lsin(75°) = 0
Solving these equations by Cramer's Rule, we get ...
R = 800sin(75°)/(cos(75°)sin(45°) +cos(45°)sin(75°))
= 800sin(75°)/sin(120°) ≈ 892 . . . pounds
L = 800sin(45°)/sin(120°) ≈ 653 . . . pounds
The tension in the right cable is about 892 pounds; about 653 pounds in the left cable.
_____
This suggests a really simple generic solution. For angle α on the right and β on the left and weight w, the tensions (right, left) are ...
(right, left) = w/sin(α+β)×(sin(β), sin(α))
Answer:
The answer is of the following is 10,000
-1/5 (x - 4) = -2
(-1/5)x + (4/5) = -2
-2 can be turned into -10/5
(-1/5)x = (-10/5) - (4/5)
(-1/5)x = -14/5
multiply by -5 on both sides
x = 14
hope this helps :)
