Answer:

x=-1.282

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation [tex]-4x-1=5^x+4[/tex] by graphing, you have to plot graphs of two functions:

[tex]y=-4x-1\\ \\y=5^x+4[/tex]

The x-coordinate of the point of intersection is the solution of the equation.

The graph of the function [tex]y=-4x-1[/tex] is shown in attached diagram with red line and the graph of the function [tex]y=5^x+4[/tex] is shown with blue curve.

The point of intersection has approximate coordinates (-1.282, 4.127), so the solution (correct to three decimal places) of the equation is x=-1.282

Answer:

D. G(x) = 7x2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a function f(x), the function kf(x) is stretched by a factor of k. In this case, if we stretch the function f(x) = x^2 by a factor of 7, the new function is going to be:

g(x) = 7x^2. Therefore, the correct option is option D.

Answer:

0.65m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function as

[tex]P(h)=P_0*e^{-0.00012h}[/tex]

Lets take the air pressure at the surface of the Earth to be x

[tex]P_0=x[/tex]

Then 65% of this will be the air pressure P(h)

[tex]P(h)=\frac{65}{100} *x=0.65x[/tex]

The function will be

[tex]0.65x(h)=x*e^{-0.00012h}[/tex]

Divide both sides by x

[tex]0.65=e^{-0.00012h}\\ \\\\e=2.71828182846\\\\\\0.65=2.7182818284^{-0.00012h} \\\\\\0.65=0.99989h\\\\\\\frac{0.65}{0.99989} =\frac{0.99989h}{0.99989} \\\\\\h=0.65m[/tex]

Option: A is the correct answer.

                     A.   3589.9 m

The function which determines the pressure h height above the surface of earth is:

[tex]P(h)=P_0\cdot e^{-0.00012h}[/tex]

where [tex]P_0[/tex] is the pressure at the surface of the earth.

We are asked to find the height when the pressure above the surface of earth is equal to 65% of the pressure at the surface of earth.

i.e.

[tex]P_0\cdot e^{-0.00012h}=0.65\cdot P_0\\\\i.e.\\\\e^{-0.00012h}=0.65\\\\i.e.\\\\e^{0.00012h}=\dfrac{1}{0.65}\\\\i.e.\\\\\ln(e^{0.00012h}}=\ln(\dfrac{1}{0.65})\\\\i.e.\\\\0.00012h=\ln(\dfrac{1}{0.65})\\\\i.e.\\\\h=3589.8576\ m[/tex]

which is approximately equal to:

[tex]h=3589.9\ m[/tex]

There are 35 different sets of 3 books Joe could choose

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Combination is a collection of the objects where the order doesn't

 matter

- The formula for the number of possible combinations of r objects from

 a set of n objects is nCr = n!/r!(n-r)!

- n! = n(n - 1)(n - 2)................. × 1

Lets solve the problem

- Joe has one book each for algebra, geometry, history, psychology,

 Spanish, English and Physics in his locker

∴ He has seven books in the locker

- He wants to chose three of them

∵ The order is not important when he chose the books

∴ We will use the combination nCr to find how many different sets

  of three books he can choose

- The total number of books is 7

∴ n = 7

∵ He chooses 3 of them

∴ r = 3

∵ 7C3 = 7!/3!(7 - 3)! = 7!/3!(4!)

∴ [tex]7C3=\frac{(7)(6)(5)(4)(3)(2)(1)}{[(3)(2)(1)][(4)(3)(2)(1)]}=35[/tex]

∴ 7C3 = 35

The sum of the six terms is 9331

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain what is the geometric sequence

- There is a constant ratio between each two consecutive numbers

- Ex:

# 5  ,  10  ,  20  ,  40  ,  80  ,  ………………………. (×2)

# 5000  ,  1000  ,  200  ,  40  ,  …………………………(÷5)

* General term (nth term) of a Geometric sequence:

# U1 = a  ,  U2  = ar  ,  U3  = ar²  ,  U4 = ar³  ,  U5 = ar^4

# [tex]U_{n}=ar^{n-1}[/tex], where a is the first term , r is the constant

  ratio between each two consecutive terms, n is the position

  of the term

- The sum of n terms of the geometric sequence is:

  [tex]S_{n}=\frac{a(1-r^{n})}{1-r}[/tex] , where n is the number of the terms

  a is the first term and r is the common ratio

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The geometric sequence is 1 , -6 , 36 , .........

∵ The common ratio r = U2/U1

∵ U1 = 1 and U2 = -6

∴ r = -6/1 = -6

∵ The first term is 1

∴ a = 1

∵ There are 6 terms in the sequence

∴ n = 6

∴ The sum = [tex]\frac{1[1 - (-6)^{6}]}{1-6}=\frac{1[1-46656]}{-5}=\frac{-46655}{-5}=9331[/tex]

* The sum of the six terms is 9331

Answer: principle APEX

Step-by-step explanation:

As the loan amortizes and nears the end, the majority of the payment is used to pay the principal is the correct answer.

A loan is a commitment that you (the borrower) will receive money from a lender, and you will pay back the total borrowed, with added interest, over a defined time period. A loan may be secured by collateral such as a mortgage or it may be unsecured such as a credit card.

For the given situation,

At the beginning of the loan's term, the majority of the payments are given to interest and just a small part to the loan's principal.

Near the end of the loan's term, the majority of each payment given to principal, and only a small portion is allocated to interest.

Hence we can conclude that as the loan amortizes and nears the end, the majority of the payment is used to pay the principal is the correct answer.

66x = 8 is an equation.

We have,

From the table,

We can make ordered pairs in the form of (x, y).

(0, 0), (1, 40), (2, 60), (3, 60), (4, 40), (5, 0).

So,

We will choose the equation that satisfies the ordered pairs.

y = -10 (x) (x – 5)

This can be used as the equation.

For (0, 0), (1, 40), (2, 60), (3, 60), (4, 40), (5, 0)

i.e x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

y = -10 x 0 = 0

y = -10 x 1 x -4 = 40

y = -10 x 2 x -3 = 60

y = -10 x 3 x -2 = 60

y = -10 x 4 x -1 = 40

y = - 10 x 5 x 0 = 0

y = 10 (x) (x - 5)

This can not be used since the y value is a negative value.

y = -10 (x – 5)

This is not possible.

y = 10 (x – 5)

To find which equation models the height of a projectile \( y \) seconds after being fired based on the given data, we can substitute the given x-values (time in seconds) into each equation and check whether the result matches the corresponding y-values (height in meters).
Let's go through each of the given equations and the provided points one by one:
1. Equation \( y = -10(x)(x – 5) \)
When \( x = 0 \), the height \( y \) should be 0.
Substituting the value into the equation, \( y = -10(0)(0 – 5) = 0 \), which matches the given point (0, 0).
When \( x = 1 \), the height \( y \) should be 40.
Substituting the value into the equation, \( y = -10(1)(1 – 5) = -10(-4) = 40 \), which matches the given point (1, 40).
When \( x = 2 \), the height \( y \) should be 60.
Substituting the value into the equation, \( y = -10(2)(2 – 5) = -10(-1) = 60 \), which matches the given point (2, 60).
When \( x = 3 \), the height \( y \) should be 60.
Substituting the value into the equation, \( y = -10(3)(3 – 5) = -10(-2) = 60 \), which matches the given point (3, 60).
When \( x = 4 \), the height \( y \) should be 40.
Substituting the value into the equation, \( y = -10(4)(4 – 5) = -10(-1) = 40 \), which matches the given point (4, 40).
When \( x = 5 \), the height \( y \) should be 0.
Substituting the value into the equation, \( y = -10(5)(5 – 5) = -10(0) = 0 \), which matches the given point (5, 0).
Since all the points match perfectly with the results from Equation 1, we confirm that Equation 1 models the height of the projectile accurately. Therefore, the correct equation is:
\( y = -10(x)(x – 5) \)
This quadratic equation represents a parabolic trajectory, which is typical for the motion of a projectile under gravity, with no air resistance, and assuming that the projectile lands at the same level from which it was fired.

[tex]\large\boxed{m<\dfrac{49}{12}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercepts are for y = 0.

Put y = 0 to the equation y = 3x² + 7x + m.

Calculate the discriminant of quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0:

Δ = b² - 4ac

if Δ < 0, then an equation has no solution

if Δ = 0, then an equation has one solution

if Δ > 0, then an equation has two solution.

a = 3, b = 7, c = m

Δ = 7² - 4(3)(m) = 49 - 12m

Two x-intercepts for Δ > 0.

Solve the inequality:

[tex]49-12m>0[/tex]           subtract 49 from both sides

[tex]-12m>-49[/tex]          change the signs

[tex]12m<49[/tex]          divide both sides by 12

[tex]m<\dfrac{49}{12}[/tex]

The values of m that make the graph of y=3x²+7x+m have two x-intercepts are m less than 49/12.

To find the values of m that make the graph of the equation y = 3x² + 7x + m have two x-intercepts, we need to determine when the discriminant is greater than zero. The discriminant can be calculated using the formula b² - 4ac, where a is the coefficient of x², b is the coefficient of x, and c is the constant term. In this case, a = 3, b = 7, and c = m. Setting the discriminant greater than zero and solving for m, we get:

7² - 4(3)(m) > 0

Simplifying the equation, we have:

49 - 12m > 0

Now, we can solve for m by isolating it on one side of the inequality:

-12m > -49

m < 49/12

Therefore, for any value of m that is less than 49/12, the graph of y = 3x² + 7x + m will have two x-intercepts.

Both obtuse angles - 124°

Both acute angles - 56°

Step-by-step explanation:

The two given obtuse angles are equal. Therefore you get an equation

So the obtuse sizes of the two given angles are [tex]13*9+7=2*13+98=124[/tex]°

And the sizes of the acute angles are [tex]180-124=56[/tex]°

Without a clear relationship between the expression (9y+7) and the angle measurement (2y+98)°, we cannot find a unique value for y. However, the measure of the angle would vary with y according to the formula (2y+98)°.

The given expression is (9y+7) and the measure of the angle is (2y+98)°. We aren't given a specific equation that links the expression to the measure of the angle, so we cannot find a unique value for y. However, if a particular relationship between the expression and the measure of the angle is provided, such as them being equal, we can use algebraic methods to solve for y.

As for measures of angles, in general, if we know the value of y, we can substitute that into the (2y+98)° to find the specific angle. Without knowing the value of y or a particular relationship between (9y+7) and (2y+98)°, we can say that the measure of the angle varies with y according to the formula (2y+98)°.
