If f(x) = 4x + 15, then f(-3) = ?
Answer:
[tex]\Huge \boxed{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is given :
f(x) = 4x + 15
For f(-3), the input for the function f(x) is -3.
Replace the x variable with -3.
f(-3) = 4(-3) + 15
Evaluate.
f(-3) = -12 + 15
f(-3) = 3
The output for f(-3) is 3.
Answer: f(-3) = 3
Step-by-step explanation: Notice that f is a function of x.
So we want to find f(-3).
We find f(-3) by plugging -3 in for x,
everywhere that x appears in the function.
So we have 4(-3) + 15.
4(-3) is -12 so we have -12 + 15 which is 3.
So f(-3) is 3.
Need help on the third question. how do i generalise the number of ways to win.(check the attatchment)
Answer:
2n+2 ways to win
Step-by-step explanation:
You generalize by observing patterns in the way you solve the smaller problems.
The number of winning moves is 2n+2: the total of the number of diagonals, columns, and rows.
For an n×n board, there are 2 full-length diagonals, n columns, and n rows, hence 2+n+n = 2n+2 ways to win.
Dr. Potter provides vaccinations against polio and measles. Each polio vaccination consists of 6 doses, and each measles vaccination consists of 3 doses. Last year, Dr. Potter gave a total of 60 vaccinations that consisted of a total of 225 doses. How many more measles vaccines did Mr. Potter give than polio? Show All Work !!
Answer:
The number of measles vaccines that Dr. Potter give than polio vaccines is 30
Step-by-step explanation:
The parameters given are;
The number of doses given in a polio vaccine = 6 doses
The number of doses given in a measles vaccine = 3 doses
The number of vaccinations given by Dr. Potter last year = 60 vaccinations
The number of doses given in the 60 vaccinations = 225 doses
Let the number of polio vaccine given last year by Dr. Potter = x
Let the number of measles vaccine given last year by Dr. Potter = y
Therefore, we have;
6 × x + 3 × y = 225.......................(1)
x + y = 60.......................................(2)
From equation (2), we have;
x = 60 - y
Substituting the derived value for x in equation (1), we get;
6 × x + 3 × y = 225
6 × (60 - y) + 3 × y = 225
360 - 6·y + 3·y = 225
360 - 225 = 6·y - 3·y
135 = 3·y
y = 45
x = 60 - y = 60 - 45 = 15
Therefore;
The number of polio vaccine given last year by Dr. Potter = 15
The number of measles vaccine given last year by Dr. Potter = 45
The number of measles vaccines that Dr. Potter give than polio vaccines = 45 - 15 = 30 vaccines.
The number of measles vaccines that Dr. Potter give than polio vaccines = 30 vaccines.

The sum of the ages of Noi's and Noy's is 26 years. The different between four times Noi's age and two times Noy's age is 28 years. Find the age of Noi and Noy.
WRITE AS AN EQUATION
Answer:
The age of Noi is 13.333 Years and the age of Noy is 12.67 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The given information are;
The sum of the ages of Noi and Noy = 26 years
Four times Noi's age - Two times Noy's age = 28
Let the age of Noi = X and let the age of Noy = Y
We have;
X + Y = 26 years.................(1)
4X - 2Y = 28 years.............(2)
Divide equation (2) by 2 to get;
(4X - 2Y)/2 = (28 years)/2 which gives;
2X - Y = 14 years.................(3)
Add equation (3) to equation (1), to get;
X + Y + 2X - Y = 26 years + 14 years
3X = 40 years
X = 40/3 = 13.333 Years
From equation (1), X + Y = 26 years, therefore;
Y = 26 - X = 26 - 13.33 = 12.67 years
Therefore, the age of Noi = 13.333 Years and the age of Noy = 12.67 years.
PLEASE HELP Polynomial Graph Studies Polynomials are great functions to use for modeling real-world scenarios where different intervals of increase and decrease happen. But polynomial equations and graphs can be trickier to work with than other function types. In mathematical modeling, we often create an equation to summarize data and make predictions for information not shown on the original display. In this activity, you’ll create an equation to fit this graph of a polynomial function. Part A Describe the type of function shown in the graph. Part B What are the standard form and the factored form of the function? Part C What are the zeros of the function? Part D Use the zeros to find all of the linear factors of the polynomial function. Part E Write the equation of the graphed function f(x), where a is the leading coefficient. Use the factors found in part D. Express the function as the product of its leading coefficient and the expanded form of the equation in standard form. Part F Use the y-intercept of the graph and your equation from part E to calculate the value of a. Part G Given what you found in all of the previous parts, write the equation for the function shown in the graph.
Answer:
Here's what I get
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
The graph shows a polynomial of odd degree. It is probably a third-degree polynomial — a cubic equation.
Part B
The standard form of a cubic equation is
y = ax³ + bx² + cx + d
The factored form of a cubic equation is
y = a(x - b₁)(x² + b₂x + b₃)
If you can factor the quadratic, the factored form becomes
y = a(x - c₁)(x - c₂)(x - c₃)
Part C
The zeros of the function are at x = -25, x = - 15, and x = 15.
Part D
The linear factors of the function are x + 25, x + 15, and x - 15.
Part E
y = a(x + 25)(x + 15)(x - 15) = a(x + 25)(x² - 225)
y = a(x³ + 25x² - 225x - 5625)
Part F
When x = 0, y = 1.
1 = a[0³ +25(0)² - 225(0) - 5625] = a(0 + 0 - 0 -5625) = -5625a
a = -1/5625
Part G
[tex]y = -\dfrac{1}{5625}( x^{3} + 25x^{2} - 225x - 5625)\\\\y = \mathbf{ -\dfrac{1}{5625} x^{3} - \dfrac{1}{225}x^{2} + \dfrac{1}{25} x + 1}[/tex]
Answer
Actually, the answer should be -0.0007(x+20)(x+5)(x-15)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is continuing off of the previous answer
PART C
The zeros should be (15,0), (-5,0), and (-20,0)
PART D
x - 15, x + 5, and x + 20
PART E
a(x - 15)(x + 5)(x + 20)
Standard: [tex]a(x^{3} + 10x^{2} -275x-1500)[/tex]
PART F
The y-intercept is at (0,1), so we replace the x's with 0:
1 =[tex][(0)x^{3} +10(0)x^{2} -275(0)-1500][/tex] and this gives us (0+0-0-1500) which also equals -1500
Then we do [tex]\frac{1}{-1500}[/tex] which gives us -0.0006 repeating which rounds to -0.0007
a= -0.0007
PART G
Just place the numbers where they should go and your answer is
y =-0.0007(x + 20)(x + 5)(x - 15)
the placement for (x + 20) (x + 5) and (x - 15) doesn't matter as long as they are behind -0.0007

which measure of center is most appropriate for this situation and what's its value?
A.) Median; 1.5
B.) Median; 3
C.) Mean; 1.5
D.) Mean; 3
Answer:
A.) median; 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
The median is the number that is in the middle when the numbers are listed from least to greatest
0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 14
We can take one from both sides till there are one or two numbers left
0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2
1, 1, 2, 2
1, 2
If there are two numbers left we add them then divide by 2 to get the median
1 + 2 = 3
3 / 2 = 1.5
The answer is A.) median; 1.5
Hope this helps!
how do you find the length of the hypotenuse when you have only the length of the altitude of the hypotensuse and a length of a leg?
Answer:
By using The Pythagorean Theorem:
[tex]/Hypotenuse/^{2} = /Length of altitude/^{2} + /Length of leg/^{2} \[/tex]
/Hypotenuse/ = [tex]\sqrt\ /Length of altitude/^{2} + /Length of leg/^{2} \}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem states that: Given a Right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of squares of the other two sides ( Here, being the length of the altitude and length of leg). That is,
[tex]/Hypotenuse/^{2} = /Length of altitude/^{2} + /Length of leg/^{2} \[/tex] and hence,
/Hypotenuse/ = [tex]\sqrt\ /Length of altitude/^{2} + /Length of leg/^{2} \}[/tex]
For example, If the length of the altitude is 4m and the length of leg is 3m. Using The Pythagorean theorem, the length of the hypotenuse will be
[tex]/Hypotenuse/^{2} = /Length of altitude/^{2} + /Length of leg/^{2} \\\/Hypotenuse/ = \sqrt{/Length of altitude/^{2} + /Length of leg/^{2}} \\/Hypotenuse/ = \sqrt{4^{2} + 3^{2} }[/tex]
[tex]/Hypotenuse/ = \sqrt{16+9} \\/Hypotenuse/ = \sqrt{25} \\/Hypotenuse/ = 5m[/tex]
The length of the hypotenuse for the given example will be 5m.
This is how to find the length of an hypotenuse.

yellow marbles.
If Jenna randomly draws a marble from the bag (and puts it back) 15
15
times, how many times should she expect to pull a yellow marble?
Answer:
5 times

What is the main difference between simplifying and solving? Which one gives you a value for a variable? How do you know the difference?
Answer:
when you simplify you continue until you get to the simplest form but when you solve you continue until you get an answer. Solving gives you a value for a variable. You mean simplify and get 2x - 10 but when you solve you continue until you get x as 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: ok, so simplifying is when you make something less complex or complicated. Solving means an expression can be used for representating the solutions. for Example, say if you have the equation x+y=2x-1 is solved for the unknown x by the expression x=y+1. solving gives you the value for the variable. you know the difference by when you are simplifying you are trying to make the problem less complicated or less complex. and when you are solving you are trying to find the answer to the problem..

Answer:
25[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] +60
Step-by-step explanation: The first thing you need to do is realize that, this figure is a isosceles trapezoid due to the markings on each side.
So now we know both sides are 10.
We also know the the top two angles are congruent to each other and so are the bottom two angles due to the trapezoid being isosceles.
So the top two angles are 120 degrees and bottom two angles are 60 degrees.
It seems like we can't find the sides, let's try drawing two lines from each top angle all the way down to form two right triangles.
Wow, these two triangles are special right triangles in the form of
30 - 60 - 90 degrees.
shorter side = n
longer side = n[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]
hypotenuse = 2n
So, 2n = 10
n = 5 for the short side
The bottom base is 4[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] + 5 + 5 = 10 + 4[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]
The longer side is 5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex].
The area of trapezoid = (base1 + base2)/2 * height
= (4[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] + 10 + 4[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex])/2 * 5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] = (10 + 8[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex])/2 * 5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] = (5+4[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex])*5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] = 25[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] +60
So, 25[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] + 60 is our answer.
Answer:
60 +25√3
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure of the isosceles trapezoid below, the angles at C and D are supplementary to the given angle, so are 60°. That makes triangle BDE a 30°-60°-90° right triangle, which has side length ratios ...
DE : BE : BD = 1 : √3 : 2 = 5 : 5√3 : 10
Triangle BDE can be relocated to the other end of the figure to become triangle CAD'. Then the area of concern is that of the rectangle with height 5√3 and length 5+4√3. The area is then ...
Area = lh = (5√3)(5 +4√3) = 5·5√3 +5·4·3
Area = 60 +25√3 . . . square units

The image above shows two dilated figures with lines IJ and JK drawn. If the smaller figure was dilated by a scale factor of 2, what relationship do lines IJ and KL have?
Answer:
[tex] IJ = 2(KL) [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the information given, the smaller figure was dilated on a scale factor of 2, to produce the bigger figure. In essence, the bigger figure is times 2 of the smaller figure.
Therefore, line IJ would be twice the length of KL.
The relationship that both lines have can be represented as: [tex] IJ = 2(KL) [/tex]

The number of solutions on the graph is zero
How to determine the number of solutions?The graph shows a linear equation (the straight line) and a non linear equation (the curve)
From the graph, we can see that the straight line and the curve do not intersect
This means that the graph do not have any solution
Hence, the number of solutions on the graph is zero

The diagonal of rhombus measure 16 cm and 30 cm. Find it's perimeter
Answer:
P = 68 cmStep-by-step explanation:
The diagonals of the rhombus divide it into 4 congruent right triangles.
So we can use Pythagorean theorem to calculate side of a rhombus.
[tex](\frac e2)^2+(\frac f2)^2=s^2\\\\e=30\,cm\quad\implies\quad\frac e2=15\,cm\\\\f=16\,cm\quad\implies\quad\frac f2=8\,cm\\\\15^2+8^2=s^2\\\\s^2=225+64\\\\s^2=289\\\\s=17[/tex]
Perimeter:
P = 4s = 4•17 = 68 cm
