Answer:

The table that represents the nonlinear function is the one where the x-values are -7, -5 and 0 and the y-values are -3, 0 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for a table to represent a linear function, there needs to be a consistent change in y-values divided by the change in x-values. For example, for any two points on the table when we subtract two y-values and divide by the number we get when we subtract two x-values, this change should be represented throughout the table. So, in the case of the other three tables, when we choose two points from the table, such as (-5, 7) and (-2,6) and put them into an equation (y2-y1/x2-x1) or (6-7)/(-2-(-5)) we would get a change of -1/3. However, when we apply this concept to the table where x-values are -7,-5, and 0, we see that the change is not consistent between points, so the function must be nonlinear.

Add your two totals together,
1860 + 5775 = 7635, next we multiply our answer by 1.082,
$8261.07 is the total cost.

How do i solve 3x² - 8x + 2 = 0 using quadratic formula?

DENIUS [597]

$3x^2 - 8x + 2 = 0\\ \\a=3 , \ \ b=-8 , \ \ c=2 \\ \\x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} =\frac{8-\sqrt{ (-8)^2-4 \cdot 3\cdot 2}}{2 \cdot 3} =\frac{8-\sqrt{ 64-24 }}{6} =\\ \\ =\frac{8-\sqrt{40 }}{6} = \frac{ 8-\sqrt{4\cdot 10 } }{6} = \frac{ 8-2\sqrt{ 10 }}{6} = \frac{2 (4-\sqrt{ 10 })}{6} = \frac{ 4-\sqrt{ 10 } }{3}$

$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} =\frac{8+\sqrt{ (-8)^2-4 \cdot 3\cdot 2}}{2 \cdot 3} = \frac{ 4+\sqrt{ 10 } }{3}$

A city grid of Anytown, USA is shown on the grid below. The fire department is represented by quadrilateral RSTU. Another fire d

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: option d. C (0,3), D (0,5).

Justification:

1) The x - coordinates of the vertices A and B are shown in the diagrama, They are both - 4, so the new vertices C and D must be in a line parallel to y = - 4.

2) The y-coordinates of the vertices A and B are also shown in the diagrama. They are equal to 3 and 5 respectively.

3) We can see that the new points C and D must be over a parallel line to y = - 4 and that their distance to the points A and B has to be the same distance of the point R and S to U and T.

That distance is 4, so the line may be y = - 7 or y = 0.

4) If the line is y = 7 the points C and D would have coordinates (-7,3) and (-7,5), but this points are not among the options.

5) If the line is y = 0 the points C and D would have coordinates (0, 3) and (0,5), which is precisely the points of the option d. That is the answer.
