Answer:

y =  \frac{2}{3}x -  \frac{4}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the slope using the above points then use the slope formula to calculate the slope

m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}  \\  \frac{2 - -  4}{5 -  - 4}  =  \frac{2 + 4}{5 + 4}  =  \frac{6}{9}  =  \frac{2}{3}

substitute ⅔ for m and one of the above points into the y-intercept form of the equation for a line and solve for b

y = mx + b \\ 2 =  \frac{2}{3} (5)  + b \\ 2 =  \frac{10}{3}  + b \\ 2 -  \frac{10}{3}  = b \\  \frac{6}{3}  -  \frac{10}{3}  = b \\ b =  -  \frac{4}{3}

substitute the slope and the value for b into the equation to get the answer

y =   \frac{2}{3} x -  \frac{4}{3}

The function f is defined by f(x) x2 -6x +21. What are the solutions of f(x) 0? Show your work.
Xelga [282]

f(x)= x^2 -6x +21

0 =x^2-6x+21

subtract 21 from each side to prepare for completing the square

-21 = x^2 -6x

completing the square (b/2)^2

(-6/2) ^ =3^2 = 9

add 9 to each side

-21 +9 = x^2 - 6x + 9

-21 +9 =(x-3) ^2

-12 = (x-3)^2

take the square root of each side

+- sqrt(-12) = x-3

add 3 to each side, take out the negative inside the square root

3 +- i sqrt(12)=x

simplify the square root  sqrt(12)= sqrt(4)sqrt(3) =2sqrt(3)

3 +- i 2sqrt (3) = x

Answer: 3+2isqrt(3)

            3-2isqrt(3)

Match the sequence (term) with the correct type of sequence (definition).
swat32
Well for solving arithmetic sequences you have to add the numbers like for example if you had 2,4,6,8 The Common ratio would be 2 because you're constantly adding 2. Now for a geometric sequence it's a little different instead of adding the numbers you use multiplication to solve those ones so if the numbers were 4,16,64,256 the common ratio would be 4.

Now here comes the answers. For the matching :)

1. B Arithmetic, common difference is 2.

2. C Arithmetic, common difference is -4.

3. D Geometric, common ratio is 2.

4. A Geometric, common ratio is 0.5.

Hope This Helps You! Have A Wonderful Day. :)
