If f(x) = b.x-a÷b-a + a.x-b÷a - b
Prove that: f (a) + f(b) = f (a + b)​

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Consider the given function:

[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{b\cdot(x-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot(x-b)}{a-b}[/tex]

To prove:

[tex]f(a)+f(b)=f(a+b)[/tex]

Solution:

We have,

[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{b\cdot(x-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (x-b)}{a-b}[/tex]

Substituting [tex]x=a[/tex], we get

[tex]f(a)=\dfrac{b\cdot(a-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a-b)}{a-b}[/tex]

[tex]f(a)=\dfrac{b\cdot 0}{b-a}+\dfrac{a}{1}[/tex]

[tex]f(a)=0+a[/tex]

[tex]f(a)=a[/tex]

Substituting [tex]x=b[/tex], we get

[tex]f(b)=\dfrac{b\cdot(b-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (b-b)}{a-b}[/tex]

[tex]f(b)=\dfrac{b}{1}+\dfrac{a\cdot 0}{a-b}[/tex]

[tex]f(b)=b+0[/tex]

[tex]f(b)=b[/tex]

Substituting [tex]x=a+b[/tex], we get

[tex]f(a+b)=\dfrac{b\cdot(a+b-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a+b-b)}{a-b}[/tex]

[tex]f(a+b)=\dfrac{b\cdot (b)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a)}{-(b-a)}[/tex]

[tex]f(a+b)=\dfrac{b^2}{b-a}-\dfrac{a^2}{b-a}[/tex]

[tex]f(a+b)=\dfrac{b^2-a^2}{b-a}[/tex]

Using the algebraic formula, we get

[tex]f(a+b)=\dfrac{(b-a)(b+a)}{b-a}[/tex]          [tex][\because b^2-a^2=(b-a)(b+a)][/tex]

[tex]f(a+b)=b+a[/tex]

[tex]f(a+b)=a+b[/tex]               [Commutative property of addition]

Now,

[tex]LHS=f(a)+f(b)[/tex]

[tex]LHS=a+b[/tex]

[tex]LHS=f(a+b)[/tex]

[tex]LHS=RHS[/tex]

Hence proved.

find the domain and range in each of the following ​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain: possible value of x

Range: possible values of y

Domain:

Given in the question

-1smaller or equal to x smaller or equal to 1

Range:

y is greater than 1, smaller than 3

[tex] \sqrt{ \frac{y - 1}{2} } = x \\ [/tex]

y cannot be smaller than 1

when substitute velue of x= 1 or negative 1

we get y=3 and any values between 1 and negative 1 when substitute in x, will give values of y in between 3 and 1.

first list all elements of x and y..

x= -1,0,1

y=2x^2+1

whenx=-1 y=2×-1^2+1=5

similarly, when x=0,y=1

x=1, y=5

therefore, domain=x={-1,0,1}

range=y={1,5}

Equation of the circle :

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a circle with centre (a, b) and radius ,r :

[tex](x - a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2[/tex] ------(1)

Here a = -1, b = -4

find radius:

Since the circle passes through (-1, -1) , the radius is the distance between the centre and the point.

[tex]distance, r = \sqrt{(-1 -(-1))^2 +(-4 -(-1))^2 }[/tex]

what is the equation that matches this table?

Answers

Answer:

y = –1 + 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

To know which option is correct, we shall use the equation given in each option to see which will validate the table. This is illustrated below:

Option 1

y = –1x + 3

x = –2

y = –1(–2) + 3

y = 2 + 3

y = 5

This did not give the required value of y (i.e –7) in the table.

Option 2

y = 1 + 3x

x = –2

y = 1 + 3(–2)

y = 1 – 6

y = –5

This did not give the required value of y (i.e –7) in the table.

Option 3

y = –3 + 1x

x = –2

y = –3 + 1(–2)

y = –3 – 2

y = –5

This did not give the required value of y (i.e –7) in the table.

Option 4

y = –1 + 3x

x = –2

y = –1 + 3(–2)

y = –1 – 6

y = –7

This gives the required value of y (i.e –7) in the table.

Thus, the equation that matches the table is:

y = –1 + 3x

The x-coordinates for which the gradient of the curve is 5 is at x = -1/2 and x = 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

[tex]\displaystyle y=\frac{x^2 -1}{x}[/tex]

And we want to find the x-coordinates for which the gradient (or slope) at the point is 5.

The gradients of a curve at a point is given by its derivative. Find the derivative:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}\left[\frac{x^2-1}{x}\right][/tex]

Use the quotient rule:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{(x^2-1)'(x)-(x^2-1)(x)'}{(x)^2}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{(2x)(x)-(x^2-1)(1)}{x^2}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{x^2+1}{x^2}[/tex]

Since the gradient is 5, substitute 5 for dy/dx and solve for x:

[tex]\displaystyle 5=\frac{x^2+1}{x^2}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by (x ≠ 0):

[tex]5x^2=x^2+1[/tex]

Subtract from boths sides:

[tex]4x^2=1[/tex]

Solve for x:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\pm\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{1}{2}\text{ or } -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

So, the x-coordinates for which the gradient of the curve is 5 is at x = -1/2 and x = 1/2.

4th floor, which is the height of 42 feet above
ground level. Let t be equal to the number of

Answers

Answer:

33.6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

if he begins at 136 feet and wants to go to 42 feet, the distance is 94 feet

d = 94

r = 2.8

d = rt; solving this formula for 't':

t = d/r

t = 94/2.8

t = 33.6 seconds

Answers

The value of y is 45 when x = 25, z = 5 and the value of constant of proportionality is 9, and equation is y = 9x/z

What is a proportional relationship?

It is defined as the relationship between two variables when the first variable increases, the second variable also increases according to the constant factor.

We have:

y varies directly with x and inversely with z.

y ∝ x/z

Removing the proportional sign.

y = kx/z

k is the constant of proportionality.

Plug y = 27, x = 21, and z = 7 to get the value of k

27 = 21k/7

k = 9

y = 9x/z

Plug x = 25, and z = 5

y = 9(25)/5

y = 45

Thus, the value of y is 45 when x = 25, z = 5 and the value of constant of proportionality is 9, and equation is y = 9x/z
