Problem 1

<h3>Answer: Choice C)  1/2</h3>

--------------------

Explanation:

Let's plug 8 into f(x)

f(x) = \frac{x+3}{x^2-4x-21}\\\\f(8) = \frac{8+3}{8^2-4(8)-21}\\\\f(8) = \frac{8+3}{64-32-21}\\\\f(8) = \frac{11}{11}\\\\f(8) = 1\\\\

Repeat for g(x)

g(x) = \log_{4}(x)\\\\g(8) = \log_{4}(8)\\\\g(8) = \frac{\log(8)}{\log(4)}\\\\g(8) = \frac{\log(2^3)}{\log(2^2)}\\\\g(8) = \frac{3*\log(2)}{2*\log(2)}\\\\g(8) = \frac{3}{2}\\\\

I used the change of base formula in the third step.

Lastly, we subtract the results like so

(g-f)(x) = g(x) - f(x)\\\\(g-f)(8) = g(8) - f(8)\\\\(g-f)(8) = \frac{3}{2} - 1\\\\(g-f)(8) = \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2}\\\\(g-f)(8) = \frac{3-2}{2}\\\\(g-f)(8) = \frac{1}{2}\\\\

Problem 2

<h3>Answer: Choice A)  8</h3>

--------------------

Explanation:

Through trial and error (I recommend the rational root theorem), you should find that the roots of R(x) are:  -1, 3, and 8

We'll only focus on positive x values. So we focus on the roots 3 and 8.

It turns out that the R(x) curve dips below the x axis when x is between 3 and 8. When x > 8 is when R(x) is positive and goes upward forever. This represents when the company is making money.

The company does make money when x is between 0 and 3; however, this is a short timespan compared to the other interval. So it's much more effective and realistic to say that the company makes money after 8 days.

In other words, yes the company makes money between day 0 and day 3, but from day 3 to day 8 is when the company loses money. Ultimately the company is profitable again when it's beyond day 8.

Given ABCE is a rectangle, D is the midpoint of CE<br> Prove AD =~ BD
Bas_tet [7]

Since the congruent operator is ≅ and since AD is congruent to BD, I'm going to assume that you want to prove that AD is congruent to BD.    
1. DE is equal to CD by definition since D is the midpoint of CE.  
2. AE is equal to BC since opposite sides of a rectangle are equal to each other.  
3. Angle AEC is equal to Angle BCE since all angles in a rectangle are right angles and all right angles are equal to each other.  
4. Triangles ADE and BDC are congruent to each other because we have SAS congruence for both triangles.  
5. AD is congruent to BC since they're corresponding sides of congruent triangles.

A walking path across a park is represented by the equation y=-3x - 3. A
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

y = (1/3)x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The general structure form of a line in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

In this form, "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept.

The slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite-signed, reciprocal of the original line's slope. Therefore, if the slope of the original line is m = -3, the new slope is m = 1/3.

The y-intercept can be found by plugging the new slope and the values from the point (-3, 6) into the slope-intercept form equation.

m = 1/3

x = -3

y = 6

y = mx + b                                  <----- Slope-intercept form

6 = (-3)(1/3) + b                           <----- Insert values

6 = -1 + b                                    <----- Multiply -3 and 1/3

7 = b                                           <----- Add 1 to both sides

Now, that you have the slope and y-intercept, you can construct the equation of the perpendicular line.

y = (1/3)x + 7

I WILL MARK AS BRAINLIST The quantities x and y are proportional Find the constant of proportionality (r) in the equation y=rx
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that x and y are proportional and the equation relating them is

y = rx ← r is the constant of proportionality

To find r use any ordered pair from the table

Using x = 9, y = 4.5 , then

4.5 = 9r ( divide both sides by 9 )

\frac{4.5}{9} = r , that is

r = \frac{1}{2}
