Given the function below, determine the following.
f(x)= 10x +8
Find f(5).
Find f(-7).
Find a if f(x) = 88.
Answers
Answer:
Solutions Below.
Step-by-step explanation:
These questions test on the concept of Functions Substitution.
Function SubstitutionFunction Substitution is about giving an input (domain) to a function to produce an output (range)
Example: f(x) = 9x , f(9) = 9(9) = 81
ApplicationWe are given the following function:
f(x) = 10x + 8, where we can express it as
y = 10x + 8
Now we can find the value of f(5) by substituting x = 5 into the function. (Meaning: Find the value of y when x = 5.)
f(5) = y = 10(5) + 8 = 50 + 8 = 58
Next, applying the same concept, we can find the value of f(-7) by substituting x = - 7 into the function. (Meaning: Find the value of y when x = -7.)
f(-7) = y = 10(-7) + 8 = -70 + 8 = - 62
This last question requires us to work in reverse, where we find the value of x when f(x) = y = 88.
f(x) = y = 10x + 8
10x + 8 = 88
10x = 88 - 8
10x = 80
x = 80 ÷ 10 = 8

The shape comprises a semicircle, rectangle, and a trapezoid
A) The shape below will illustrate how the side length of the rectangle will be calculated
Part I is the semicircle of diameter
[tex]\begin{gathered} d=8\operatorname{cm} \\ r=\frac{d}{2} \\ r=\frac{8}{2}=4\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]From the diagram above
[tex]AB=r=4\operatorname{cm}[/tex]To find the missing side length of the rectangle , we will use the relation below
[tex]AB+BC+CD=12\operatorname{cm}[/tex]Where.
[tex]\begin{gathered} AB=4\operatorname{cm} \\ CD=3.5\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]By substituting the values, we will have
[tex]\begin{gathered} AB+BC+CD=12\operatorname{cm} \\ 4+BC+3.5=12\operatorname{cm} \\ 7.5+BC=12\operatorname{cm} \\ BC=12-7.5 \\ BC=4.5cm \end{gathered}[/tex]The missing side length of the rectangle is = 4.5 cm
Hence,
The rectangle can be represented below as
The formula for the area of the rectangle is
[tex]\begin{gathered} A_{\text{rectangle}}=\text{length}\times breadth \\ \text{where,} \\ \text{length}=8\operatorname{cm} \\ \text{breadth}=4.5\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]By substituting the values, we will have
[tex]\begin{gathered} A_{\text{rectangle}}=\text{length}\times breadth \\ A_{\text{rectangle}}=8\operatorname{cm}\times4.5\operatorname{cm} \\ A_{\text{rectangle}}=36\operatorname{cm}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence,
The Area of the rectangle = 36cm²
B) To calculate the area of the semicircle, we will use the formula below
[tex]\begin{gathered} A_{\text{semicircle}}=\frac{\pi\times r^2}{2} \\ \text{where,} \\ r=4\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]By substituting the values , we will have
[tex]\begin{gathered} A_{\text{semicircle}}=\frac{\pi\times r^2}{2} \\ A_{\text{semicircle}}=\frac{\pi\times4^2}{2}=\frac{16\pi}{2}=8\pi \\ A_{\text{semicircle}}=25.13\operatorname{cm}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence,
The area of the semicircle = 25.13 cm²
To calculate the area of the trapezoid, we will use the formula below
[tex]\begin{gathered} A_{\text{trapezoid}}=\frac{1}{2}(a+b)\times h \\ \text{where,} \\ a=8\operatorname{cm} \\ b=15\operatorname{cm} \\ h=3.5\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]The diagram below represents the trapezoid
By substituting the values, we will have
[tex]\begin{gathered} A_{\text{trapezoid}}=\frac{1}{2}(a+b)\times h \\ A_{\text{trapezoid}}=\frac{1}{2}(8\operatorname{cm}+15\operatorname{cm})\times3.5\operatorname{cm} \\ A_{\text{trapezoid}}=\frac{1}{2}(23\operatorname{cm})\times3.5\operatorname{cm} \\ A_{\text{trapezoid}}=\frac{80.5\operatorname{cm}}{2} \\ A_{\text{trapezoid}}=40.25\operatorname{cm}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence,
The area of the trapezoid is = 40.25cm²
To calculate the total area of the shape, we will use the formula below
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Total area=} \\ =A_{\text{SEMICIRCLE}}+A_{\text{RECTANGLE}}+A_{\text{TRAPEZOID}} \end{gathered}[/tex]By substituting the values, we will have
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Total area=}A_{\text{SEMICIRCLE}}+A_{\text{RECTANGLE}}+A_{\text{TRAPEZOID}} \\ \text{Total area}=25.13\operatorname{cm}+36\operatorname{cm}+40.25\operatorname{cm}^2 \\ \text{Total area}=101.38\operatorname{cm}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence,

What is correlation?The Pearson correlation coefficient (r) is the most commonly used metric for determining a linear relationship. It is a number ranging from -1 to 1 that indicates the strength and direction of a link between two variables. When one variable shifts, the other shifts in the same way.
Positive correlation is graded on a scale of 0.1 to 1.0. Weak positive correlation would be between 0.1 and 0.3, moderate positive correlation between 0.3 and 0.5, and strong positive correlation between 0.5 and 1.0. The stronger the positive correlation, the more probable the equities will move in unison. Having a minus means it's negative correlation.

An equation represents proportional relationship when dividing the quantities of the equation results in a quotient that is always the same.

A. Equation: 120 - x = L
Equation from alternative A is NOT proportional since the division of the quantities doesn't result in a constant.

Dividing total cost per item's price, will always give the sales tax, which is constant. So, this equation IS proportional.

Step-by-step explanation: Isolate the y variable, so you get 15y = 15 + 5x, then divide by 15, y = 1 + 1/3x. To get the x intercept, the y has to be equal to 0, so we get 0 = 1 + 1/3x.
0 = 1+1/3x
-1 = 1/3x
-3 = x
Answer:
x = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the x intercept, y has to be equal to 0.

- 5·x + 15·0 = 15
- 5·x = 15
x = 15/(- 5)

Rectangle A is 5 in by 7 in. If the scale factor is 4, what is the area of the new rectangle B? How does it compare with the first rectangle?
Answers
The area of rectangle B is 560 square inches.
What is the area of rectangle?Area of rectangle is the region occupied by a rectangle within its four sides or boundaries. The area of a rectangle depends on its sides. Basically, the formula for area is equal to the product of length and breadth of the rectangle.
Given that,
Scale factor = 4
Rectangle A has
length = 5 inches
breadth = 7 inches
Area of a rectangle A = length×breadth
= 5×7
= 35 square inches
Scale factor is 4 so length and width of a new rectangle is
length = 5×4 = 20 inches
breadth = 7×4 = 28 inches
Area of a rectangle B = length×breadth
= 20×28

In the graph given, the line of reflection for the triangle XYZ and triangle X'Y'Z' is x=2.
Given, the coordinates of the triangle XYZ are:
X = (4,5)
Y = (6,3)
Z = (3,2)
and the coordinates of the triangle X'Y'Z' are:
X' = (0,5)
Y' = (-2,3)
Z' = (1,2)
for image of the triangle XYZ to get reflected and become X'Y'Z',
reflection of axis takes place.
But the images are not identical and symmetrical, so the reflection is not about y axis.
we check for x=2
hence reflection of axis when x=a is :
P(x,y) →x'(2a-x , y)
therefore use the above formula and check the coordinates of the reflected image.
X(4,5) when x=2X(4,5) → X'(2(2)-4 , 5)
x(4,5) → X'(0,5)
Y(6,3) when x=2Y(6,3) → Y'(2(2)-6 , 3)
Y(6,3) → Y'(-2,3)
Z(3,2) when x=2Z(3,2) → Z'(2(2)-3 , 2)
Z(3,2) → Z'(1,2)
hence x=2 is the reflection of triangle XYZ and X'Y'Z'.

Answers
The number of the total students that are at the school is 570 if the ratio of boys to girls in a school is nine: ten and there are 300 girls at the school.
What is the ratio formula?The ratio formula is given as a:b = a/b for any two quantities, let's say a and b.
Given that a and b are separate amounts for two quantities, the combined total quantity is denoted as (a + b).
How are these ratio difficulties solved?Three steps are necessary to determine the ratio of three numbers:
Step 1: Add the ratio's numbers together to determine the total number of pieces.
Step 2: By dividing the given sum by the total number of parts, determine the value of each component in the ratio.
Step 3: Divide the original ratio by the sum of each component's values.
The ratio is given as 9:10 as boys to girls.
Number of girls = 300
Thus, girls will be 10x and boys will be 9x
then 10x = 300
⇒x = 30
Then we can calculate the number of boys as
9x = 9*30
=270
Thus, the total number of students in the school
= exact number of girls + exact number of boys

1/5x - 10 + 10 = 30 + 10
1/5x = 40
c) Multiply both sides by 5.
5 * (1/5x) = (5) * (40)
x = 200
1. Plug 15 in for y
1/5x - 2/3y = 30
→ 1/5x - 2/3(15) = 30
→ 1/5x - 10 = 30
2. Add 10 to both sides
1/5x - 10 = 30
→ 1/5x = 40
3. Divide both sides by 1/5
1/5x = 40
→ x = 200
4. Plug in 200 for x to see if it’s correct
1/5(200) - 2/3(15) = 30
→ 40 - 10 = 30
Because this equation is true, we have found our answer.
Answer Recap: When y = 15 in this problem, x = 200.
