Find the slope of the line that goes through the following points: (-4, 6), (-8, 6)
Slope: m = (y2 -- y1) / (x2 -- x1) = (6 -- 6) / (-8 -- (-4)) = 0 / (-4) = 0
m = 0.
Determine whether the given function is even, odd or neither: f (x) = 5x^2 + x^
To test a function for even, odd, or neither property, plug in -- x for x, and simplify.
f (-x) = 5(-x)^2 + (-x)^4 = 5x^2 + x^4.
Because the final expression remains the same for -- x, it stands that the function is even.
f (x) is even.
Find the slope of the line that goes through the following points: (-1, 1), (-2, -5)
Slope: m = (y2 -- y1) / (x2 -- x1) = ((-5) -- 1) / ((-2) -- (-1)) = (-6) / (-1) = 6
Answer: m = 6.
Evaluate: f (x) = -5x + 8 at f (-3)
f (-3) = -5(-3) + 8 = 15 + 8 = 23
Answer: f (-3) = 23.
Evaluate: f (x) = 3x^2 -- 4x -- 3 at f (x -- 1)
f (x -- 1) = 3(x -- 1)^2 -- 4(x -- 1) -- 3 = 3(x^2 -- 2x + 1) -- 4x -- 4 -- 3
= 3x^2 -- 6x + 3 -- 4x -- 7 = 3x^2 -- 10x -- 4
Answer: f (x -- 1) = 3x^2 -- 10x -- 4.
6. Determine whether the given function is even, odd, or neither: f (x) = x^3 -- 5x
To test a function for even, odd, or neither property, plug in -- x for x, and simplify.
f (-x) = (-x)^3 -- 5(-x) = -x^3 + 5x
Because the final expression is the exact opposite of f (x), it stands that the function is odd
Answer: f (x) is odd.
7. Find the domain and range of: {(7, -2), (-6,-4), (-9,-9),(-5,-5),(6,6)}
Domain is all values of x: 7, -6, -9, -5, 6
Range is all values of y: -2, -4, -9, -5, 6
Answer: Domain = {-9, -6, -5, 6, 7}, Range = {-9, -5, -4, -2, 6}.
8. The following relation is a function: {(-3,-4),(3,3),(5,-6),(8,1),(11,-5)}. True or false
A working definition of a function defines that for any x, there is exactly one yield of y. In this case, the relation of numbers given yield exactly one y. Therefore, the relation is a function.
Answer: True.
9. Determine the slope m and the y-intercept for y + 9 = 0
Slope-intercept formula: y = mx + b y = -9, therefore slope m = 0
Answer: m = 0, y = -9.
Algebra -- Trig -- Writer's Note: The symbol "n" should really be referred to as "pi" or "?" To prevent confusion within the problem. Also, there is a difference between "squared" and "square root." The case in these problems is to use the square root, so "sqrt (number)." I've only managed the calculations because I have presumed the indicated changes. Using the periodic properties of trigonometric functions, find the exact value of
6. The rabbits will never die. The question was how many male/female rabbit pairs will be there after a year or 12 months? When the experiment begun, there is a single pair of rabbits. After duration of one month, the two rabbits have mated though they have not given birth. As a result; there is still only a single pair of rabbits. After duration of two months, the initial pair of rabbits will give
Sine, Cosine, And Tangent When using trigonometric functions, the three sides of a right triangle (opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse) are identified in relation to a chosen angle. The trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, and tangent) are then defined in relation to the three sides of the right triangle. The word "sine" comes from the Latin word "sinus," which means a bend or gulf, or the bosom of a garment. (Gelfand) The term was
Unemployment in America Policy makers in the United States continuously seek the silver bullet(s) -- plural solutions because there is clear recognition that the issue is multifaceted -- that will achieve healthy levels of employment in the nation. Certainly there some paths to increasing employment in the country are less expensive than others, and proposed solutions range across a wide array of complexity and practicality. Invariably, today, education becomes a focal
Education: Teaching Math to Students With Disabilities Working with students with disabilities (SWD) can be quite challenging, especially for teachers working on a full-time basis. Almost every classroom today has one or more students dealing with either an emotional, educational, or physical disability; and teachers are likely to find themselves looking for resources or information that would enable them teach all their students in the most effective way. There are numerous
Ferguson's Argument and Evidence In Eugene Ferguson Engineering and the Mind's Eye, he makes the case that the existing privileging of science and math over the nonverbal and visual in engineering education is mutually a dangerous practice and a historical abnormality. By applying a well-demonstrated chronicle of engineering strategy, Ferguson claims that not all engineering complications can be resolved by analysis in mathematical; short of the ability to envisage machines, environment,
