30 points!! What is the equation of this line?

Answers

Answer:

y = - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line passing through the origin is

y = mx ( m is the slope )

calculate m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, 2) ← 2 points on the line

m = [tex]\frac{2-0}{-1-0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{-1}[/tex] = - 2 , then

Consider the following function f(x) = x² + 5.
Part A: Write a function, in vertex form, that shifts f(x) right 3 units.
Part B: Write a function, in vertex form, that shifts f(x) left 10 units.

Answers

Part A

To shift the curve 3 units to the right, we'll replace x with x-3. What this does is move the xy axis 3 units to the left. If we held the curve in place as the axis moves, then it gives the illusion the curve is moving 3 units to the right.

[tex]f(x) = x^2 + 5\\\\f(x-3) = (x-3)^2 + 5\\\\g(x) = (x-3)^2 + 5\\\\[/tex]

Do not expand out the (x-3)^2 term, because you want to keep the function in vertex form. The old vertex of (0,5) moves three units to the right to arrive at (3,5)

Answer:  [tex]g(x) = (x-3)^2 + 5[/tex]

==============================================================

Part B

We use the same idea as before. This time we're moving the curve 10 units to the left, so we'll replace x with x+10

[tex]f(x) = x^2 + 5\\\\f(x+10) = (x+10)^2 + 5\\\\g(x) = (x+10)^2 + 5\\\\[/tex]

How do I draw a 50 degree angle ?

Answers

Answer :-

To draw a 50 degree angle with a protactor, proceed as follows :

Draw a straight line (i.e. an arm of the angle).

Place a dot at one end of the arm. This dot represents the vertex of the angle.

Place the centre of the protractor at the vertex dot and the baseline of the protractor along the arm of the angle.

Find 50 degree angle on the scale and then mark a small dot at the edge of the protractor.

Join the small dot to the vertex with a ruler to form the second arm of the angle.

Label the angle with capital letters.

Remember that 50 degree angle cannot be constructed using compass.

The area of undeveloped land in a suburban town is decreasing at a rate of 17.3% annually. in 2016, there were 3,400 acres of undeveloped land. if t represents the number of years since 2016, which equation can be used to determine after how many years the town will have 900 acres of undeveloped land remaining?

Answers

Based on the rate of decrease and the acres of undeveloped land, the equation to determine the number of years till 900 acres is remaining is B)900 = 3,400(0.827)^t.

Which equation shows the number of years till 900 acres are remaining?

As 900 acres is the target number of acres to remain, this will be on the left side of the equation as the y value.

The right side of the equation would be:

= Current number of acres remaining x ( 1 - rate of decrease) ^ number of years

= 3,400 x ( 1 - 17.3%) ^ number of years

Putting them together:

900 = 3,400(0.827)^t.

As there is the highest degree 4 there are four zeros .

Using calculator

the roots are(attached)

The graph is also attached

Answer:

a) 4 roots

b) x = 1 and x = -3

[tex]\textsf{c)} \quad x=1, \quad x=-3, \quad x=\dfrac{-1 + \sqrt{3}i}{2}, \quad x=\dfrac{-1 - \sqrt{3}i}{2}[/tex]

d) see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

[tex]f(x)=x^4+3x^3-x-3[/tex]

Part (a)

From inspection of the function, the highest exponent of the polynomial is 4.  Therefore, it is expected that the polynomial will have 4 roots.

Part (b)

To find the rational roots, find values of x where [tex]f(x)=0[/tex]

[tex]f(1)=(1)^4+3(1)^3-1-3=0[/tex]

[tex]f(-3)=(-3)^4+3(-3)^3-(-3)-3=0[/tex]

Therefore, the rational roots are: x = 1 and x = -3

Part (c)

As there are only 2 rational roots, the other 2 roots must be complex roots. To find these, first factor the polynomial using the 2 rational roots found in part (b):

[tex]\implies f(x)=(x-1)(x+3)(x^2+bx+1)[/tex]

[tex]\implies f(x)=(x^2+2x-3)(x^2+bx+1)[/tex]

[tex]\implies f(x)=x^4+bx^3+x^2+2x^3+2bx^2+2x-3x^2-3bx-3[/tex]

[tex]\implies f(x)=x^4+(2+b)x^3+(2b-2)x^2+(2-3b)-3[/tex]

Compare coefficients to find b:

[tex]\implies (2+b)x^3=3x^3[/tex]

[tex]\implies b=1[/tex]

Therefore the fully factored function is:

[tex]\implies f\:\!(x)=(x-1)(x+3)(x^2+x+1)[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex](x^2+x+1)=0[/tex]

To find the complex roots, use the quadratic formula

[tex]x=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\quad\textsf{when }\:ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=\dfrac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2-4(1)(1)}}{2(1)}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=\dfrac{-1 \pm \sqrt{-3}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=\dfrac{-1 \pm \sqrt{3}\sqrt{-1}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=\dfrac{-1 \pm \sqrt{3}i}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, all the roots of the function are:

[tex]x=1, \quad x=-3, \quad x=\dfrac{-1 + \sqrt{3}i}{2}, \quad x=\dfrac{-1 - \sqrt{3}i}{2}[/tex]

Part (d)

End behaviors:

As the degree of the function is even and the leading coefficient is positive, the end behaviors are:

[tex]\textsf{As } x \rightarrow - \infty, \:\: f(x) \rightarrow + \infty[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{As } x \rightarrow + \infty, \:\: f(x) \rightarrow + \infty[/tex]

y-intercept

Substitute x = 0 into the function:

[tex]f\:\!(0)=(0)^4+3(0)^3-(0)-3=-3[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept is (0, -3)

To find the approximate x-coordinates of the turning points (stationary points), differentiate the function, set it to zero, then solve for x:

[tex]f'\:(x)=4x^3+9x^2-1[/tex]

[tex]\implies 4x^3+9x^2-1=0[/tex]

Using a calculator, x ≈ -2.2, x ≈ -0.4, x ≈ 0.3

Therefore the approximate coordinates of the turning points are:

(-2.2, -9.3),  (-0.4, -2.7)  and (0.3, -3.2)

We don't need to plot these points, they merely help us with the approximate shape of the curve.

Alexa danced for 3 2/4 hours on Saturday. Sherlyn swam 1/5 of that time. How many

3 2/4 hours is equivalent to 3.5 hours

1 / 5 of (that time) 3.5 hours is (1 / 5) * 3.5 = 0.7 hours

Because one hour is equal to sixty minutes, in order to change the units you have to multiply the number of hours, 0.7, by 60.

so, this is between 1.0×10^-4 cm and 1.0×10^-3 cm.

0.02 cm = 2.0×10^-2 cm (the "2" only need to move 2 positions to the right for the actual number).

so, this is between 1.0×10-2 cm and 1.0×10^-1 cm.

200 cm = 2.0×10² cm (now the "2" needs to move 2 positions to the left for the actual number).

B) y = 53.8x + 1149.8

Therefore, it is true to say that the paid advertisement is responsible for the restaurant's increase in pizza sales during the first quarter.

D) The restaurant's sales for the Monday of the 15th week is expected to be $1956.8

What is equation of line?

The standard form of equation of a line is ax + by + c = 0. Here a, b, are the coefficients, x, y are the variables, and c is the constant term.

B) As by scatter plot,

The total sales for week 4 is given as 1,365 while that of week 9 is 1,634.

Therefore, we shall determine the equation for the line of best fit using the points;

( 4, 1365) and ( 9, 1634)

The first step would be to determine the slope of this line;

slope = (1634 - 1365)/ (9 - 4)

       = 53.8

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is thus;

Sales = 53.8(Week) + c

We need to determine c, the y-intercept. We can use the point ( 4, 1365);

1365= 53.8(4) + c

c = 1365-215.2

c = 1149.8

The equation of the line of best fit is thus;

y = 53.8x + 1149.8

C) The slope of the equation for the lines of best fit was found to be 53.8.  

    This value is positive which implies

    Total Sales increase from one week to the next by $53.8.

    The slope in regression is defined as the change in y for every unit change in x.

Therefore, it is true to say that the paid advertisement is responsible for the restaurant's increase in pizza sales during the first quarter.

D) The equation  for the line of best fit was found to be;

  y = 53.8x+ 1149.8

where y denotes the total sales and x the corresponding week. We are required to determine y when x is 15;

y = 53.8(15) + 1149.8

y = 1956.8

Therefore, the restaurant's sales for the Monday of the 15th week is expected to be $1956.8.

Answer:

5x^2(x^8 -16)5x^2(x^2 +2x +2)(x^2 -2x +2)(x^2 +2)(x^2 -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor is that factor that includes every prime factor that is found in both expressions. Once that is removed, the formula for the factorization of the difference of squares is needed.

__

A

Each expression factors as ...

  5x^10 = 5·x^2·x^8

  80x^2 = 5·x^2·16

The common factors in these expressions are 5, x^2, so the expression with the greatest common factor factored out is ...

  5x^2(x^8 -16)

__

B

The remaining factor is the difference of squares, which factors as ...

  a² -b² = (a -b)(a +b)

Here, we have a=x^4 and b=2^2, so the factors of the difference are ...

  x^8 -16 = (x^4 -4)(x^4 +4)

The first of these factors is also recognizable as a difference of squares, so it can be factored further:

  x^4 -4 = (x^2 -2)(x^2 +2)

The second factor can also be cast as the difference of squares, allowing it to be factored further:

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

  = (x^2 +2x +2)(x^2 -2x +2)

So, the complete factorization of the original expression is ...

  5x^10 -80x^2 = 5x^2(x^2 +2x +2)(x^2 -2x +2)(x^2 +2)(x^2 -2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2 , we get

2x + 2y = 2   be equation (3)

Subtracting equation (2) from equation (3) , we get

5y = 32

Divide by 5 on both sides , we get

y = 32/5

Hence , the equation is solved and y = 32/5

3!!!!! Good luck on your hw liv

Answer:

9 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for finding interior angles of all polygons : 180 ( n - 2) / n = A

(n being the amount of sides it has)

This information is important so you can plug in the numbers that you already know

We know that the interior angle measures to 140 degrees

180 (n - 2) / n = 140

multiply both sides by "n"

(n - 2) x 180 = 140n

Distribute 180 to what's inside the parenthesis

180n - 360 = 140n

Subtract 140n and add 360 to each side (which just moves 360 to the other side of the "="

40n = 360

Divide 40 by both sides

n = 9

hope this helps :)

Read the passage.Ocean NoiseWhen we think about the pollution of our oceans, many of us think of oil spills that dirty the waters and harm a variety of ocean life. Or, we might think of people in boats who litter the waters with their trash. After all, how many times in the news do we hear about ships that leak dangerous chemicals into the water? What we may not realize, though, is that there is another danger that is just as harmful to ocean life as any chemical or other dangerous material: ocean noise.Many of us think of the oceans as silent places. On the contrary, they are filled with a variety of sounds. On any given day, one might hear the calls of dolphins as they swim through the waters. Whales use sounds to keep track of each other. Sea lions talk to each other to find food. Even the tiniest of shrimp make a snapping sound. There are also sounds caused by wind or rain upon the waters. Sound also plays an important role in the daily life of various ocean animals, many of which depend upon their sharp sound detection skills to survive. With increased activities by people on many of the oceans waters, the noise has increased so much that it is beginning to cause damage to the oceans as well as to the animals that live in them.Ocean noise is the term used to describe the human-made noise occurring at increasing rates in the ocean. The noise comes from many different sources: large ships, small boats with motors, and jet skis, among others. There are also underwater exploration activities such as mining, as well as radar activities of ships. One of the most harmful types of ocean noise occurs with offshore oil drilling and seismic oil explorations. Air guns are instruments that are used to determine the location of oil and natural gas beneath the sea floor. They make a sound that can damage the hearing of ocean animals.We know that sound travels faster in water than it does in air. This means that sounds in the oceans can travel for many, many miles in a short period of time. Unfortunately, sounds made by people are much louder than sounds made by ocean animals.What this means is that sounds caused by noisy engines or radar equipment used by ships can upset the everyday activities of the creatures that live in the ocean. For instance, humpback whales use songs to talk to each other. Scientists have discovered that the whales system of talking can be disturbed by loud noises. This makes it harder for the whales to find each other. The stranding of whales and dolphins has been found to increase immediately after naval sonar maneuvers. Sea lions are another type of animal that depends on sounds to communicate with other sea lions. Ocean noise can make it difficult for them to find food. Ocean noise can disturb migration routes of whales and other animals that travel to different places.However, scientists and other researchers are working hard to find a solution to this threat to marine life. Since 2003, the use of low-frequency active (LFA) sonar equipment by the United States Navy has been tightly limited because its effects have been shown to cause harm to many ocean animals. NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) has released a plan to reduce ocean noise that will work better than past attempts to reduce the noise.Other people are helping as well. Some fishing companies use special equipment that makes a pinging sound to keep certain kinds of ocean life from getting caught in its fishing nets. The National Park Service completed a study that tracked tour cruise ships and made an effort to reduce the number of tours. They also tried to increase the quiet time for humpback whales by scheduling tours farther apart.Local conservation groups are also asking people to be more careful about using jet skis, motorboats, and other equipment that might disturb areas where ocean life is particularly fragile. Also, closer attention is being paid to where ships are traveling to make sure that, whenever possible, they stay away from waters where large numbers of ocean animals live.With the increase in ocean noise, measures must be taken to control or, at the very least, curb its growth.What argument does the author make in "Ocean Noise"?Marine animals contribute more to noise pollution in the ocean than humans.A reduction in noise pollution will do little to help marine life.Progress in noise reduction has been stalled by the use of sonar equipment.People must take immediate action to reduce ocean noise pollution to help marine life.
