Answer:

$\sf m = \dfrac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, $\sf (x_1, ~ y_1)$ = (2, -5) and $\sf (x_2, ~ y_2)$ = (8, 3)

The slope formula is, $\sf m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$\sf m = \dfrac{3 - (-5)}{8 - 2}$

$\sf m = \dfrac{8}{6}$

$\bf m = \dfrac{4}{3}$

What is the value of f(-4) in the piecewise function f(x)= -x-5 for -5<= x <= -2; -x^2+1 for -2<=x<=2; (x-3)^2+2 for

Alik [6]

We first need to pick the correct piece to use. In this case, we will use f(x) = -x-5 because -5<=-4.

Then, we use direct substitution:
f(-4) = -(-4) - 5
f(-4) = -1

The population of a small town is 39,668 and has been continuously declining at a 1.5% a year what will the population be in 13

anyanavicka [17]

Answer: 31, 932.74

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of the small town = 39,668

Yearly rate of decline = 1.5%

Therefore, to calculate 1.5% of 39,668 = 1.5 x 39,668

------------------

100

= 595.02

So, the population is declining by 595.02 on yearly basis.

To ascertain what will the population would have declined to in the next 13 years,

We multiply , = 595.02 x 13

=7,735.26

Now population in 13 years = 39,668 - 7,735.26

= 31,932.74

Give the Domain And Range of the function.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The last one

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is on the x - axis, so it starts and stops on 1 and 6 and all the other symbols mean that x could be 1, 6, or anything in between. Range is on the y - axis, so the highest point is seven and the lowest is one. Y could be 1, 7, or anything in between.
