If f(x)=ax+b and f(2)=1 and f(-3)=11, what is the value of A?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=ax+b

f(2)=1  

f(-3)=11

f(2) = 1   means   2a+b =1

f(-3)=11   means   -3a + b = 11

Subtracting the two equations

-(-3a +b =11) becomes 3a -b = -11   so we can add

2a+b =1

3a - b = -11

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

5a = -10

Divide by 5

5a/5 = -10/5

a=-2

An animal population is increasing at a rate of 13 51t13 51t per year (where t is measured in years). By how much does the animal population increase between the fourth and tenth years.

Answers

Answer:

ΔP = 567

Step-by-step explanation:

The increasing rate of the population is  13,51*t.

That rate by definition is:

dP/dt   where P is the population therefore

dP/dt = 13,51*t

dt  =  13,51*t*dt

Integrating on both sides of the equation  we get:

∫dp = ∫ 13,51*t*dt

P =  13,51*t²/2 + K         ( K is population for t = 0 )

Now the population in 10 years    P(₁₀)

P(₁₀) =  13,51* (10)² /2  + K

P(₁₀) =  675,5  + K      (1)

And   P(₄)     is    

P(₄)  = 13,51*(4)²/2  * K

P(₄)  = 108,08 + K        (2)

Then substracting

P(₁₀) - P(₄)  =  ( 675,5  + K ) -  ( 108,08 + K )

ΔP =  567,42

But we don´t have fraction of animal, then

ΔP = 567

Explain the difference between using the sine ratio to solve for a missing angle in a right triangle versus using the cosecant ratio. You must use complete sentences and any evidence needed (such as an example) to prove your point of view. (10 points)

Answers

Answer:

The sine ratio is the ratio between the opposite side over hypotenuse. The cosecant ratio is the ratio between the hypotenuse over the opposite side, therefore cosecant is the reciprocal of sine.

To find a missing angle using sine, you would need to use the inverse of sine. For example,  if the sine was  [tex]\frac{30}{40}[/tex], to find the angle you would need to find sin⁻¹ of  [tex]\frac{30}{40}[/tex] which is x =  sin⁻¹ (0.75). Therefore x equals approximately 49°.

Answers

Answer:

a) 6.00

b) 3.00

c) 1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample error of the mean is expressed mathematically using the formula;

SE = σ /√n where;

σ  is the standard deviation and n is the sample size.

a) Given σ = 18, n = 9

Standard error of the mean = σ /√n

Standard error of the mean = 18/√9

Standard error of the mean = 18/3

Standard error of the mean = 6.00

b) Given σ = 18, n = 36

Standard error of the mean = σ /√n

Standard error of the mean = 18/√36

Standard error of the mean = 18/6

Standard error of the mean = 3.00

c) Given σ = 18, n = 144

Standard error of the mean = σ /√n

Standard error of the mean = 18/√144

Standard error of the mean = 18/12

Standard error of the mean = 3/2

Standard error of the mean = 1.50

If 2 x 2 + 13 x − 7 = 0 , then x could equal which of the following?

Answers

Hi there! :)

Answer:

x = 1/2 or -7.

Step-by-step explanation:

(I'm assuming the expression is 2x² + 13x - 7 = 0)

Factor the equation to solve for the possible values of "x":

2x² + 13x - 7 = 0

When factored, we get:

(2x - 1) ( x + 7) = 0

Use the Zero-Product property to solve for the roots:

2x - 1 = 0

2x = 1

x = 1/2.

-----------

x + 7 = 0

x = -7.

Therefore, possible values of x are x = -1/2, 7.

Answer:

x = 1/2     x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

2 x^2  + 13 x − 7 = 0

Factor

(2x-1)(x+7)=0

Using the zero product property

2x-1 =0   x+7=0

2x=1       x =-7

x = 1/2     x=-7

Suppose that a polynomial function of degree 4 with rational coefficients has 6, 4, 6i as zeros. Find the other zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Complex roots have to come in conjugate pairs

So if we have 6i as a root, we must have -6i as a root

Answer:

-6i

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, because this polynomial function has real coefficients and 6i is a zero, the conjugate of 6i is a zero as well. It means -6i is a zero.

The degree is 4 the number of zeroes is less or equal to 4 and we have already, 6, 4, 6i and -6i. So we have all the zeroes.

Step-by-step explanation:

First plug in the variable amounts so the expression now looks like this:

(3 × 4 - 12) + 1/2(4 × 6 - 10)

Now, start by solving the multiplication parts first, so it now looks like this:

(12 - 12) + 1/2(24 - 10)

Now, apply the rules of order of operation, so start by solving what's in parenthesis. It should now look like this: (0) + 1/2(14)

Next, solve the multiplication part, so it now looks like this: 0 + 7

Solve that and the answer is 7.

A professor graded the final exams and found that the mean score was 70 points. Which of the following can you conclude?


A- All of the above.

B- The median score was 70 points.

C- 50% of the students scored below 70 points.

D- This would be a normal distribution.

Answers

Answer:  C) 50% of the students scored below 70%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is the average.  To find the mean (aka average) you add up all of the scores and divide by the number of tests.  

B) The mean can be 70 without any test scoring 70% so B is not true.

A) Since B is not true, then A is not a valid option.

D) We don't know any of the other data so don't know if it is skewed left, skewed right, or normal.  Therefore, option D is not true.

C) If the average is 70%, then half received grades above that score and half received grades below that score.  So, option C is TRUE!

Answers

Answer:

B. 152 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area using a net, do this:

Take apart the figure. We see that there are three rectangles and two triangles. Find the area of each ([tex]A=l*w[/tex]) and then add the values together:

The first rectangle on the left is the same as the one on the right.

[tex]5*8=40[/tex]

Two measures are 40 cm².

The middle rectangle is:

[tex]6*8=48[/tex]

48 cm²

The formula for the area of a triangle is [tex]A=\frac{1}{2}*b*h[/tex]:

[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}*6*4\\\\A=\frac{1*6*4}{2}\\\\A=\frac{24}{2}\\\\ A=12[/tex]

The area of the two triangles is 12 cm².

Now add the values:

[tex]40+40+48+12+12=152[/tex]

The area of the figure is 152 cm².

I drive 13 miles each way to work every day. It sometimes takes me 20 minutes to get to work, and sometimes it takes me 30 minutes. If Distance = Rate x Time, at what rate am I going if it takes me 20 minutes to get to work? At 30 minutes?

Answers

Answer:

39 mph

26 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = rate * time

20 minutes:

13 miles = rate * 20 minutes

rate = (13 miles)/(20 minutes) * (60 minutes)/(hour)

rate = 39 mph

30 minutes:

13 miles = rate * 30 minutes

rate = (13 miles)/(30 minutes) * (60 minutes)/(hour)

rate = 26 mph

Allowance bank received a deposit of 28,000 and is free to lend out 25,480 what is the reserve rate?

Answers

Answer:

Reserve rate = 9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Reserve ratio/rate is the percentage of deposits which commercial banks are required to keep as cash, as directed by the central banks.

first, let us calculate the reserve amount as follows:

Reserve = Deposit - (free amount to lend out)

Reserve = 28,000 - 25,480 = $2,520

[tex]Reserve\ rate = \frac{Reserves}{Deposits} \times100\\Reserve\ rate = \frac{2520}{28000} \times100\\=\frac{252000}{28000} =9\%[/tex]

Therefore the reserve rate = 9%

Step 2: Substitute y = mx int o the function and simplify
