Given that f(x) = ax – 5 and f(4) = 15, then the value of a is 5

The given function is:

f(x)  =  ax  -  5

If f(4)  =  15, then x = 4

Substitute x = 4 into f(x) = ax - 5

f(4)  =  a(4)  -  5

15   =  4a   -  5

Solve for a by adding 5 to both sides

15  +  5  =  4a  -  5  +  5

20    =  4a

Divide both sides by 4

4a/4   =  20/4

a    =  5

Given that f(x) = ax – 5 and f(4) = 15, then the value of a is 5

Just substitute t=t-2 in given function.
so, p(t-2)=4(t-2)-5
=4t-8-5
=4t-13
so, p(t-2)= 4t-13

PLEASE HELP DUE IN LESS THAN 5 WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!!!
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

1. 1:4

2. y = 4 x X

3. yes

Step-by-step explanation:

1. every 1 minuet he cleans 4 shrimp

2. y is the number of shrimp and x is the time. if every miuet he cleans 4 shrimp, then that means you have to multiply the shrimp by the minuets. for example, if he spends 2 minuets, he cleans 8 shrimp because 2 x 4 = 8.

3. This is a proportional relationship because if you were to put this on a graph, it would be a strait line. for example, if you were to plot x (the time) on a line (this line would go horizontal) and y (shrimp) on the line (this line goes verticle) 1 minuet = 4 shrimp. 2 minuets = 8 shrimp. 3 minuets = 12 shrimp. 4 minuets = 16 shrimp.

i hope this helps. tell me if this is too confusing or if you need more help. have a great day :)

a fountain in a pond has a pump that recirculates 75 gallons of water in 1/4 of an hour.express this rate as a unit rate in gall
olga55 [171]
So if in 1/4 of an hour 75 gallons are pumped you would multiply 75 by four which will give you 300. This means 300 gallons are pumped in an hour
