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

<h3>Answer:  Reflect over the y axis</h3>

=====================================================

Explanation:

We have these two given functions

  • f(x) = x+7
  • g(x) = -x+7

The change is that the x has been replaced with -x

We can say

f(x) = x+7

f(-x) = -x+7 ... replace each x with -x

g(x) = f(-x)

g(x) = -x+7

When we replace x with -x, we're flipping the x inputs from positive to negative, and vice versa. This visually will reflect the line over the vertical y axis. A point like (1,8) on f(x) reflects over to (-1,8) on g(x).

As another example, the point (-5,2) on f(x) reflects over the y axis to arrive at (5,2) on the g(x) function.

sdas [7]

Answer:

a₁ = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is

S_{n} = \frac{a_{1}(r^{n}-1)  }{r-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

Here S_{8} = 1530 and r = 2, thus

\frac{a_{1}(2^{8}-1)  }{2-1} = 1530 , that is

a₁ (256 - 1) = 1530

255a₁ = 1530 ( divide both sides by 255 )

a₁ = 6

Solve for x in IJK Algebra
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

x = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180

40 + x+20 + x = 180

Combine like terms

2x+60 =180

Subtract 60 from each side

2x+60-60 =180-60

2x =120

Divide by 2

2x/2 =120/2

x = 60
