determine whether or not the function r(x) =x^2-2 is one -to-one

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The function is not one-to-one

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a quadratic function.

[tex]f(x)=x^2-2[/tex]

A function is one-to-one

[tex]\text{if } f(x_1)=f(x_2) \Leftrightarrow x_1=x_2[/tex]

The function given is not one-to-one because there are values of the input [tex]x[/tex], which leads to the same output.

For example.

[tex]y=f(2)=2^2-2=\boxed{2}[/tex]

[tex]y=f(-2)=(-2)^2-2=\boxed{2}[/tex]

Calculate YZ if WY = 25, XY = 23, and VZ = 35

Answers

Answer:

WY= 25

XY= 23

VZ=36

so,

WY/XY = YZ/VZ

25/23 = YZ/25 (then do cross multiply)

25×25 = 23 × YZ

625= 23 × YZ

625/23= YZ

27,17= YZ

#i'm indonesian

#hope it helps.

Answer:

[tex]\huge \boxed{13.04}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are congruent, we can use ratios to solve.

WY/XY = (WY+YZ)/VZ

Let the length of YZ be x.

25/23 = (25+x)/35

Cross multiply.

23(25+x) = 25 × 35

575 + 23x = 875

Subtract 575 from both sides.

575 + 23x - 575 = 875 - 575

23x = 300

Divide both sides by 23.

(23x)/23 = 300/23

draw the graph of linear equation 5y = 3x + 18 on a cartesian plane. From the graph check weather (-2,4) is the solution of the linear equation or not PLS URGENT ANSWER

Answers

Answer:

The point (-2, 4) is not a solution of the linear equation, 5·y =  3·x + 18

Please find attached the required graph of the linear equation 5·y =  3·x + 18 written in the form y = 3/5·x + 18/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is 5·y = 3·x + 18, from which we have;

y = 3/5·x + 18/5

To draw the graph, we generate for vales of y corresponding to values of x as follows;

x,      y

-6,    0

-5,    0.6

-4,    1.2

-3,    1.8

-2,    2.4

-1,      3

0,      3.6

1,       4.2

2,      4.8

3,      5.4

12,      10.8

13,      11.4

14,       12

15,      12.6

16,      13.2

Therefore, when y = 0, x = -6, when x = 0, y = 3.6, when x = -2, y = 2.4, when y = 4, x = -2, x = 6

Therefore, the point (-2, 4) is not a solution of the linear equation, 5·y =  3·x + 18

To combine the radicals first make sure the radicals have the same square root

That's

For 2√24

[tex]2 \sqrt{24} = 2 \sqrt{4 \times 6} = 2 \times 2 \sqrt{6} [/tex][tex] = 4 \sqrt{6} [/tex]For 9√54

Maria has eight black marbles, fourteen clear marbles, and twelve blue marbles in a bag. If she picks two marbles at random, without replacement, what is the probability that she will select a blue marble first, then a clear marble?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{0.15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1: Solve for the total amount of marbles

To solve for the probability of certain events, a population is needed to derive this information from. In order to find this population, add up the amounts of each marble.

8 + 14 + 12 = 34 marbles

Part 2: Determine the probabilities

Now, given the amounts of marbles, simply multiply the ratios of blue marbles to total marbles and the ratio of clear marbles to total marbles to get the combined probability.

[tex]\frac{12}{34}*\frac{14}{33} = \frac{28}{187} \approxeq 0.1497 \approxeq 0.15 * 100 = 15[/tex]

What is the width of the rectangle shown below?
4x + 3
A = 8x2 – 10x – 12

Answers

Answer:

2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length * Width

Given parameters

Area A = 8x2 – 10x – 12

Length of the rectangle = 4x+3

Required

Width of the rectangle.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula

8x2 – 10x – 12  = (4x+3)*width

width = 8x2 – 10x – 12 /4x+3

S

Factorizing the numerator

8x² – 10x – 12

= 2(4x²-5x-6)

= 2(4x²-8x+3x-6)

= 2(4x(x-2)+3(x-2))

= 2(4x+3)(x-2)

Width = 2(4x+3)(x-2)/4x+3

Width = 2(x-2)

Width = 2x-4

Hence the width of the rectangle is 2x-4

Line m and point P are shown below. Part A: Using a compass and straightedge, construct line n parallel to line m and passing through point P. Leave all construction marks. Part B: Explain the process that you used to construct line n.

Answers

Answer:

  see the attached

Step-by-step explanation:

In the attachment, we will refer to the circles, bottom-to-top, as circles 1, 2 and 3. The black points of intersection, bottom-to-top, will be referred to by the letters A, B, C, D. The transversal line through the white point (W) and pink point (P) will be line q.

Step 1. Draw line q through point P so it intersects line m at some convenient point. Label that point W.

Step 2. Choose an arbitrary radius for your compass. Here, we have chosen it to be the length WB. It happens to be less than half the length of WP, but that is not a requirement.

Step 3. Draw an arc of the chosen radius centered at W and intersecting line q and line m. Label the intersection points A (on line m) and B (on line q). These intersection points are on circle 1.

Step 4. Draw an arc of the same radius centered at P. It should be a long enough arc that it would intersect the proposed line parallel to m. Label the intersection point on line q with label C. This intersection point is on circle 3.

Step 5. Adjust the compass width (radius) to the distance from A to B. This is the radius of circle 2.

Step 6. Draw an arc centered at C so that it intersects the arc of Step 4. This is circle 2, and you want it to intersect circle 3. Label that point of intersection D.

Step 7. Draw line PD parallel to m.

The point of the construction is to create congruent alternate interior angles AWB and CPD, so that lines AW and PD are parallel.

Answers

Answer:

1. GH

2. a

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular: When 2 lines meet at 90 degrees

1. It is line segment GH because AB and GH meet at a 90 degree angle (since there is a box at angle GHF indicating that it is 90 degrees)

2. It has to be a units because it is a rectangle where the top and bottom are congruent and the sides are too

This is a rectangle since AB and CD are parallel and GH can be a transversal line, according to same side interior angles theorem EGH is a also 90 degrees. That means FEG is 90 degrees too because then the quadrilateral will add up to 360 degrees

Brian invested his savings in two investment funds. The $8000 that he invested in Fund A returned a 4% profit. The amount that he invested in Fund B returned a 1% profit. How much did he invest in Fund B, if both funds together returned a 2% profit?

Answers

Answer: Brian invested $16000 in Fund B .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount Brian invested in Fund B.

Given, The $8000 that he invested in Fund A returned a 4% profit. The amount that he invested in Fund B returned a 1% profit.

i.e. profit on Fund A = 4% of 8000 = 0.04 ×8000 = $320

Profit on Fund B = 1% of x = 0.01x

Together they earn 1% profit, i.e. Combined profit = 2% of (8000+x)

= 0.02(8000+x)

As per question,

Combined profit=Profit on Fund A+Profit on Fund B

[tex]\Rightarrow\ 0.02(8000+x) =320+0.01x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.02(8000) +0.02x=320+0.01x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 160+0.02x=320+0.01x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.02x-0.01x=320-160\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.01x=160\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{160}{0.01}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=16000[/tex]

Suppose y varies jointly as x & z. If y = -180 when z = 15and x = -3,then find y when x = 7 and z = -5. 1 point

Answers

Answer:

y = - 140

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement

y varies jointly as x & z is written as

y = kxz

to find y when x = 7 and z = -5 we must first find the relationship between the variables

when y = - 180

z = 15

x = - 3

- 180 = k(15)(-3)

-180 = - 45k

Divide both sides by - 45

k = 4

The formula for the variation is

y = 4xz

when

x = 7

z = -5

y = 4(7)(-5)

y = 4(-35)

y = - 140

Which equation represents the line that is perpendicular to y=3/4x+1 and passes through (-5,11)
Will give brainliest!!

Answers

Answer:

y = - [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{13}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] x + 1 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{\frac{3}{4} }[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] , thus

y = - [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 5, 11) into the partial equation

11 = [tex]\frac{20}{3}[/tex] + c ⇒ c = 11 - [tex]\frac{20}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{13}{3}[/tex]

y = - [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{13}{3}[/tex] ← equation of perpendicular line

The equation of the line that passes through (-5, 11) and perpendicular to y = (3/4)x + 1 is

y = -2x + 1

What is an equation of a line?

The equation of a line is given by:

y = mx + c

where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.

Example:

The slope of the line y = 2x + 3 is 2.

The slope of a line that passes through (1, 2) and (2, 3) is 1.

We have,

y = (2/4)x + 1 is in the form of y = m(2)x + c

So,

m(2) = 2/4 = 1/2

The equation of the line y = m(1)x + c is perpendicular to y = (2/4)x + 1.

So,

m(1) x m(2) = -1

m(1) = -1/(1/2)

m(1) = -2

Now,

y = -2x + c passes through (-5, 11).

This means,

11 = -2 x (-5) + c

11 = 10 + c

11- 10 = c

c = 1

Thus,

The equation of the line is y = -2x + 1.
