Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

The additive inverse of 4 is -4. Why? 4 + -4 = 0

-4 - 5 = -9

7. Which of the following can be determined from the graph below?

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The ordered pair (6,25) is a solution to both

$y=-\frac{5}{2}x+40$ and $y=\frac{5}{3}x+15$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 7)

step 1

Find the equation of the line with positive slope

take the points (0,15) and (9,30)

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the given values

$m=\frac{30-15}{9-0}$

$m=\frac{15}{9}$

simplify

$m=\frac{5}{3}$

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=\frac{5}{3}$

$b=15$

substitute

$y=\frac{5}{3}x+15$

step 2

Find the equation of the line with negative slope

take the points (0,40) and (8,20)

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the given values

$m=\frac{20-40}{8-0}$

$m=-\frac{20}{8}$

simplify

$m=-\frac{5}{2}$

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=-\frac{5}{2}$

$b=40$

substitute

$y=-\frac{5}{2}x+40$

step 3

Find the solution of the system

we know that

The solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

The intersection point is (6,25) ----> see the graph

therefore

The ordered pair (6,25) is a solution to both $y=-\frac{5}{2}x+40$ and

$y=\frac{5}{3}x+15$

What is the range of possible sizes for side x

Xelga [282]

Answer:

0.5 < x < 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

For a triangle (by the triangular inequality theorem), we know that the sum of any two sides must be larger than the other side.

When we have a triangle and we know two sides, let's define the measures of these sides as S1 and S2. (such that S2 > S1)

By the first property, we will have that S1 + S2 > S3

Where S3 is the third side, the one that we do not know.

But there is also a lower restriction, given by:

S2 - S1 < S3 < S1 + S2

This is because we also must have:

S1 + S3 > S2

and

S2 + S3 > S1

We can rewrite both of these to get:

S2 - S1 < S3

S1 - S2 < S3

Because S2 > S1, the first inequality is more restrictive, so we need to use that one.

Then we get the inequality:

S2 - S1 < S3 < S1 + S2

Ok, in this case, the shorter side is 8.0 then:

S1 = 8.0

And the longer side is 8.5, then:

S2 = 8.5

And the third side is x, S3 = x

Replacing those in our inequality, we get:

8.5 - 8.0 < x < 8.5 + 8.0

0.5 < x < 16.5

This is the range of possible sizes for side x.

How to find slope and y intercept from the equation ax+by=c?

melisa1 [442]

solve for "y" so it is in the form y = mx + b. "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

ax + by = c

by = -ax + c subtracted "ax" from both sides

y = (-a/b)x + c/b divided both sides by "b"

Answer: slope is -a/b and y-intercept is c/b

What is the recursive rule for the sequence 2, -1, 1/2 , -1/4

Helga [31]

Answer:

$a_n=\frac{-1}{2}a_{n-1}$

$a_1=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive rule is a term defined in terms of other terms in the sequence.

The is a geometric sequence because it has a common ratio.

The common ratio can be found by dividing a term by previous term.

For example, all of these are equal:

$\frac{-1}{2}$

$\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{-1}$

$\frac{\frac{-1}{4}}{\frac{1}{2}}$

They are all equal to $\frac{-1}{2}$ .

So we are saying:

$\frac{\text{term}}{\text{previous term}}}=\frac{-1}{2}$

More formally:

$\frac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}=\frac{-1}{2}$ .

Multiply both sides by $a_{n-1}$ :

$a_n=\frac{-1}{2}a_{n-1}$

When doing recursive form, you need to state a term of the sequence (or more depending on the recursive form you have).

So the first term is 2.

So the full thing for the answer is:

$a_n=\frac{-1}{2}a_{n-1}$

$a_1=2$
