A relation is a function if it has only One y-value for each x-value. Functions f(2/3)=2/9 for f(x)=2x²-4x+2 and f(1/4)==-21/4 for f(x)=4x²+2x-6
What is a function?A relation is a function if it has only One y-value for each x-value.
The given function is
f(x)=2x²-4x+2
Put x=2/3
f(2/3)=2(2/3)²-4(2/3)+2
=2(4/9)-8/3+2
=8/9-8/3+2
=(8-24+18)/9
f(2/3)=2/9
Now f(x)=4x²+2x-6
Put x=1/4
f(1/4)=4(1/4)²+2(1/4)-6
=4/16+2/4-6
=1/4+1/2-6
= 1+2-24/4
f(1/4)==-21/4
Hence functions f(2/3)=2/9 for f(x)=2x²-4x+2 and f(1/4)==-21/4 for f(x)=4x²+2x-6

mputing and Using a Least-Squares Regression LineVehiclesight (tons) Gas mileage (mpg)1.6291.6451.75261.952221821211822.32.5The table shows the weight and gas mileage of severalvehicles.What is the equation of the least-squares regressionline, where ŷ is the predicted gas mileage and x is theweight?ŷ=V+According to the regression equation, a car that weighs1.8 tons would have a gas mileage of aboutmiles per gallon.
From the table, we have the following points:
(x, y) ==> (1.6, 29), (1.6, 45), (1.75, 26), (1.95, 22), (2, 18), (2, 21), (2.3, 21), (2.5, 18)
Let's find the regression line.
Apply the slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
To find the slope, apply the formula:
[tex]m=\frac{n(\Sigma xy)-\Sigma x\Sigma y}{n(\Sigma x^2)-(\Sigma x)^2}[/tex]Where:
• ∑x = 1.6 + 1.6 + 1.75 + 1.95 + 2 + 2 + 2.3 + 2.5 = 15.7
• ∑y = 29 + 45 + 26 + 22 + 18 + 21 + 21 + 18 = 200
• ∑xy = 1.6⋅29 + 1.6⋅45 + 1.75⋅26 + 1.95⋅22 + 2⋅18 +2⋅21 +2.3⋅21 + 2.5⋅18 = 378.1
• ∑x² = 1.6² + 1.6² + 1.75² + 1.95² + 2² + 2² + 2.3² + 2.5² = 31.525
,• n is the number of data = 8
Now, plug in values into the equation and solve for m:
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{8(378.1)-15.7*200}{8(31.525)-(15.7)^2} \\ \\ m=-20.175\approx20.2 \end{gathered}[/tex]The slope, m = -20.2
To find the y-intercept, b, apply the formula:
[tex]\begin{gathered} b=\frac{(\Sigma y)(\Sigma x^2)-\Sigma x\Sigma xy}{n(\Sigma x^2)-(\Sigma x)^2} \\ \\ b=\frac{200(31.525)-15.7*200}{8(31.525)-15.7^2} \\ \\ b=64.594\approx64.6 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the regression equation is:
y = 64.6 + (-20.2)x
(b). Substitute 1.8 for x in the equation and solve for y:
y = -20.2(1.8) + 64.6
y = 28.24 = 28.
ANSWER:
(A). y = 64.6 + (-20.2)x
(B). 28
Answer:
here's your answer :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Two question I want to verify my answerSolve for y in terms of x 2x =1-5yAnd Simplify the given expression Write answer with a positive exponent (X^-3/y^4)^-4
Part 1
we have
2x =1-5y
solve for y
step 1
Adds 5y both sides
2x+5y=1
step 2
subtract 2x both sides
5y=-2x+1
step 3
Divide by 5 on both sides
y=-(2/5)x+1/5
Part 2
we have the expression
[tex](\frac{x^{-3}}{y^4})^{-6}=(\frac{y^4}{x^{-3}})^6=(y^4x^3)^6=y^{(24)}x^{(18)}[/tex]the scale of a map is 1cm: 7milesthe distance between two cities is 102.2 miles.find the distance between the two cities on the map
Ok, so:
We know that the scale given is the next one:
1cm = 7miles.
Now, let me draw something here below:
So, the cities are separated by a distance of 102.2 miles.
If 1 cm = 7 miles,
Then, we're going to convert 102.2 miles to our map scale.
102.2 miles * ( 1cm / 7 miles).
And we obtain:
14.6cm

For example, the number 5 is five spaces from zero on the right-hand side of the number line while the opposite. So the opposite would be -5 because it is five spaces from zero on the left side of a number line.
Find the probability that a dart hits one of the shaded areas. Thewhite figure is a rectangle. Be sure to show all work.
SOLUTION
Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.
STEP 1: Get the angles of the hexagon
The internal angles of an hexagon is given as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{180(n-2)}{n} \\ n=6\text{ since hexagon has 6 sides} \\ So\text{ we have:} \\ \frac{180(6-2)}{6}=\frac{180(4)}{6}=\frac{720}{6}=120\degree \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore each angle of the hexagon is 120 degrees.
STEP 2: find the length of the sides
We remove the right triangles as seen below:
Using the special right triangles, we have:
STEP 3: find the area of the extracted triangle above
[tex]\begin{gathered} b=1,h=\sqrt{3} \\ Area=\frac{1}{2}\cdot1\cdot\sqrt{3}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}units^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Since there are two right triangles, we multiply the area by 2 to have:
[tex]Area=2\cdot\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\sqrt{3}[/tex]There are two triangles(both sides), therefore the total area of the shaded area will be:
[tex]\sqrt{3}\cdot2=2\sqrt{3}[/tex]STEP 4: Find the area of the whole hexagon
[tex]\begin{gathered} Area=\frac{3\sqrt{3}s^2}{2} \\ s=hypotenuse\text{ of the right triangle}=2 \\ Area=\frac{3\sqrt{3}\cdot4}{2}=6\sqrt{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]STEP 5: Find the probability
[tex]\begin{gathered} Probability=\frac{possible\text{ area}}{Total\text{ area}} \\ \\ Possible\text{ area}=2\sqrt{3} \\ Total\text{ area}=6\sqrt{3} \\ \\ Probability=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{6\sqrt{3}}=\frac{1}{3}=0.3333 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the probability that the dart hits one of the shaded areas is approximately 0.3333
Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line through (-1, 1) and (0,3).
The slope intercept form of a line can be written as:
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
We have two points of the line: (-1,1) and (0,3).
Knowing that for x=0, the value of y=3 tells us that the y-intercept b is b=3:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ 3=m\cdot0+b \\ 3=b \end{gathered}[/tex]Using the other point and replacing the values of x and y in the equation we can calculate the value of the slope m:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=mx+3 \\ 1=m\cdot(-1)+3 \\ 1-3=-m \\ -2=-m \\ m=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, with m=2 and b=3, the equation becomes:

The value of the composite function is as follows:
(gof)(5) = 6How to find composite function?The composite function can be solved as follows:
Composite functions are when the output of one function is used as the input of another.
In other words, a composite function is a function that depends on another function.
f(x) = x² - 6x + 2
g(x) = -2x
Therefore,
(gof)(5) = g(f(5))
So we need to find g(f(x)) first.
Therefore,
g(f(x)) = -2(x² - 6x + 2)
g(f(x)) = - 2x² + 12x - 4
Therefore,
g(f(x)) = - 2x² + 12x - 4
(gof)(5) = g(f(5)) = - 2(5)² + 12(5) - 4
(gof)(5) = g(f(5)) = -50 + 60 - 4
(gof)(5) = g(f(5)) = 6

Answer:
0.010
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve the above question using z score formula
z = (x-μ)/σ, where
x is the raw score = 63 inches
μ is the population mean = 70 inches
σ is the population standard deviation = 3 inches
For x shorter than 63 inches = x < 63
Z score = x - μ/σ
= 63 - 70/3
= -2.33333
Probability value from Z-Table:
P(x<63) = 0.0098153
Approximately to the nearest thousandth = 0.010
Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected student will be shorter than 63 inches tall, to the nearest thousandth is 0.010.

YZ=22.4
Step 2
find the length of the side WZ
a) let

The height of the baseball when it returns to the ground is zero(0). Therefore, at that point where the baseball returns to the ground, the function becomes:
[tex]0=-4.9t^2+60t+1.5[/tex]Step 3: We solve the quadratic equation to get the value of t:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 0=-4.9t^2+60t+1.5 \\ u\sin g\text{ quadratic formula which states that:} \\ x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ a=-4.9,b=60,c=1.5 \\ \text{Substituting the values, we have:} \\ \frac{-60\pm\sqrt[]{60^2-4(-4.9)(1.5)}}{2(-4.9)} \\ =\frac{-60\pm\sqrt[]{3600+29.4}}{-9.8} \\ =\frac{-60\pm60.2445}{-9.8} \\ =\frac{-60+60.2445}{-9.8}\text{ or }\frac{-60-_{}60.2445}{-9.8} \\ =\frac{0.2445}{-9.8}or\frac{-120.2445}{-9.8} \\ t=-0.024948979\text{ or }12.26984184 \\ t\approx-0.0249\text{ or 12.270} \end{gathered}[/tex]Since the value for time cannot be negative, hence the time it will it take the baseball to return to the ground is approximately 12.270 seconds
Can you write on the paper/photo? So can write on my paper too and write it down
Answer:
1) 4x + 12
2) new area = 16x + 48
3) Yes, the ratio is the same for positive values of x
Explanation:
The distributive property of multiplication is shown below
a(b + c) = ab + ac
The area of the given rectangle is expressed as
Area = 4(x + 3)
By applying the distributive property, it becomes
4 * x + 4 * 3
= 4x + 12
The equivalent expression is
4x + 12
If the dimensions of the rectangle are doubled, then
new length = 2(x + 3) = 2x + 6
new width = 4 * 2 = 8
Thus,
new area = 8(2x + 6) = 8 * 2x + 8 * 6
new area = 16x + 48
We would input values of x into both areas and find their ratios
For x = 1,
area = 4(1) + 12 = 16
new area = 16(1) + 48 = 64
ratio = 16/64 = 1/4
For x = 2,
area = 4(2) + 12 = 20
new area = 16(2) + 48 = 80
ratio = 20/80 = 1/4
For x = 3,
area = 4(3) + 12 = 24
new area = 16(3) + 48 = 96
ratio = 24/96 = 1/4
Thus, the ratio is the same for positive values of x
which is the BEST first step in order to solve this equation15 + 2/3 a = -5a.subtract 15 from both sides b.subtract 2/3 feom both sides c.add 5 to both sides d.multiply by 3 on both sides
In order to solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable a in one side of the equation.
Since we have the number 15 in the same side of the variable, the best first step would be removing this number 15 from this side, and we do this by subtracting 15 from both sides.
Therefore the answer is a.
