Reference equation: 4x + 12

a.  4x + 12

b.  4X +7

c.  4x + 12

d.  4x + 12

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:  None of the answers are viable.

Step-by-step explanation:

a ≅ 8b

a/b ≅ 8

A.  (3.1/2.5) = only slightly greater than 1

B.  2.5/3.1    = slightly less than 1

C.  (2/1.2) = less than 2

D.  1.2/2 = less than 1

None of these answers is viable.

None of the options are correct.

Given,

The number a is about 8 times greater than b.

We need to find the correct value of a and b from the given options.

A. a = 3.1 and b = 2.5

B. a = 2.5 and b = 3.1

C. a = 2 and b = 1.2

D. a = 1.2 and b = 2

We have,

2 times M = 2x M

2 greater than M = M + 2

2 less than M =  M - 2

Sum = adding

Times = Multiplication

Find the value of a and b.

We have,

The number a is about 8 times greater than b.

We can write it as

a = 8 x b

Find out which option is correct.

A. a = 3.1 and b = 2.5

a = 8 x b

3.1 = 8 x 2.5

3.1 ≠ 20

So this option is incorrect.

B. a = 2.5 and b = 3.1

2.5 = 8 x 3.1

2.5 ≠ 24.8

This option is not correct.

C. a = 2 and b = 1.2

2 = 8 x 1.2

2 ≠ 9.6

This option is not correct.

D. a = 1.2 and b = 2

1.2 = 8 x 2

1.2 ≠ 16

This option is not correct.

Thus none of the options are correct.

Answer:

Bottom left.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for any of them to be the graph of a function you would need that given a value of x, you get no more than one value of y. Zero is fine, you just picked an x out of the domain.

In layman's terms it means that if you grab a ruler, a piece of paper, a pen, and you scan the graph moving the edge parallel to the y axis (ie, vertically) you are allowed to touch the graph only once. Top right is out. Bottom left is ok, bottom right is not: you have infinite points of contact in there.

Top left would be fine, if it wasn't for x = 1. In there you have two values marked with a solid dot. That makes it not the graph of a function.

Answer:

  6/45 and 20/45

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common denominator is the least common multiple (LCM) of 9 and 15.

The factors of those numbers are ...

  9 = 3·3

  15 = 3·5

The LCM is the product of the unique factors to their highest powers:

  3·3·5 = 45

__

To make 2/15 have a denominator of 45, we need to multiply by 3/3:

  2/15·3/3 = 6/45

To make 4/9 have a denominator of 45, we need to multiply by 5/5:

  4/9·5/5 = 20/45

The desired fraction pair is 6/45 and 20/45.

Answer:

pemdas is an order of operation

Step-by-step explanation:

PEMDAS STANDS FOR parentheis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. it is the order of how you should solve multi step equations EXAMPLE: 1+2x2 FIRST you have to multiply the 2x2 because multiplication comes first in PEMDAS, then you do the addition so 2x2=4+1=5

PEMDAS is the order that you solve a problem.

PEMDAS stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents

Multiplication and Division

Addition and Subtraction

If you have an equation or expression that you need to solve, you solve it in this order. You do the parenthesis first, then you solve the exponents, then you do the multiplication and division from left to right, and last you do addition and subtraction from left to right.

In the equation

2 + 3 * 5,

first you would do 3 * 5 because multiplication is before addition.

2 + 15

Then you would do the addition to get the answer:

17.

Answer:

  -1 ±4i

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic can be written in vertex form as ...

  x² +2x +17 = 0

  (x² +2x +1) +16 = 0 . . . . . . . . identify the part that can be a perfect square

  (x +1)² = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 16

  x +1 = ±√(-16) = ±4i . . . . take the square root

  x = -1 ±4i . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1

The roots of the equation are x = -1-4i and x = -1+4i.

_____

Additional comment

It can be worthwhile to remember the form of a perfect square trinomial:

  (x +a)² = x² +2ax +a²

If you know the coefficient of x, you can use half of it as the constant in each binomial factor.

In the above, we had 2a=2, so a=1 and a²=1. The constant 17 then is resolved into two parts: one part (1) is used to "complete the square" and the other part (16) is the y-coordinate of the vertex. It is used to find the "radical" portion of the roots.

The roots of the equation  [tex]x^2 + 2x + 17 = 0[/tex] are [tex]x = -1 +4i[/tex] and [tex]x = -1 - 4i[/tex].

To find the roots of the equation [tex]x^2 + 2x + 17 = 0[/tex] in simplest a + bi form, we can use the quadratic formula.

The quadratic formula states that for an equation in the form[tex]ax^2 + bx + c = 0[/tex], the roots can be found using the formula:

[tex]x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

We have a = 1, b = 2, and c = 17.

Substituting these values into the quadratic formula, we get:

[tex]x = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4 - 68}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{-64}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{64i^2}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-2 \pm 8i}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = -1 \pm 4i[/tex]

So, [tex]x = -1 +4i[/tex] and [tex]x=-1-4i[/tex] are roots.

Answer:

y=3x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

m=8-(-7)/3-(-2)

m=8+7/3+2

m=15/5

m=3

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-7)=3(x-(-2)

y+7=3(x+2)

y+7=3x+6

y=3x+6-7

y=3x-1

The size of the population increases when the growth rate is positive and

decreases for a negative growth rate.

The completed table is presented as follows;

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}2003 \ Population (millions)&Projected \ 2029 \ Population \ (millions)&Growth \ rate \ K \\40.5&20.9&-2.255\%\end{array}\right][/tex]

Reasons:

The table is presented as follows;

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}2003 \ Population (millions)&Projected \ 2029 \ Population \ (millions)&Growth \ rate \ K \\40.5&20.9&\end{array}\right][/tex]

The population in growth rate is given by the following formula;

P = a·(1 + r)ˣ

Where;

a = The initial population in 2003 = 40.5 million

P = The population in 2029 = 20.9 million

x = The number of years = 2029 - 2003 = 26

Therefore;

20.9 = 40.5 × (1 + r)²⁹

[tex]\left (1 + r\right)^{29} = \dfrac{20.9}{40.5}[/tex]

[tex]r = \left(\dfrac{20.9}{40.5} \right)^{\dfrac{1}{29} } - 1 \approx -0.02255[/tex]

The population growth rate is r ≈ -0.02255 = -2.255 %

The completed table is therefore;

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}2003 \ Population (millions)&Projected \ 2029 \ Population \ (millions)&Growth \ rate \ K \\40.5&20.9&-2.255\%\end{array}\right][/tex]
