A medical clinic is reducing the number of incoming patients by giving vaccines before flu season. During week 5 of flu season,

the clinic saw 85 patients. In week 10 of flu season, the clinic saw 65 patients. Assume the reduction in the number of patients each week is linear. Write an equation in function form to show the number of patients seen each week at the clinic.
f(x)=20x+85
f(x)=-20x+85
f(x)=4x+105
f(x)=-4x+105

Answer:

D.f(x) = −4x + 105

D.f(x) = −4x + 105

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the function in linear, we know it has a slope.

We know 2 points

(5,85) and (10,65) are 2 points on the line

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  = (65-85)/(10-5)

   =-20/5

   =-4

We know a point and the slope, we can use point slope form to write the equation

y-y1 =m(x-x1)

y-85 = -4(x-5)

Distribute

y-85 = -4x+20

Add 85 to each side

y-85+85 = -4x+20+85

y = -4x+105

Changing this to function form

f(x) =-4x+105

Help me please no links :)

Answer:

Domain (Basically means the sets of values of x-axis).Hence, the set of values of domain is given by -3<domain<1. Meaning domain lies between values more than -3 and less than 1.

Range (Basically means the sets of values of y-axis). Hence, the set of values of range is given by -1<range<3. Meaning that range lies between values more than -1 and less than 3.

Function basically means the equation of the given circle. We know that equation of circle is given by;

(x-h)^2+ (y-k)^2 = r^2 [where (h, k) is the center of circle and r is the radius of circle]

From the figure,

(h, k)= (-1 ,1) and r= 2.

So, we can conclude that function is given by equation:

(x-(-1))^2 + (y-1)^2 =  2^2

(x+1)^2  +  (y-1)^2 = 4.
