The slope of the given function is 0.25. The function that has  the same slope is y = 0.25x + 5. Option B is the correct option.

What is a function?

A mathematical phrase, rule, or law that establishes the link between an independent variable and a dependent variable (the dependent variable). In mathematics, functions exist everywhere, and they are crucial for constructing physical links in the sciences.

Given table is

x         0          1            2             3

y      -0.5       -0.25      0           0.25

The slope of a function that passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Assume that x₁ = 0, y₁ = -0.5, x₂ = 1, y₂ = -0.25

The slope of the function is [-0.25 - (-0.50)]/(1 - 0) = 0.25

Now compare the equation y = -0.25x - 2 with y = mx + c

m =  -0.25

The slope of the function is -0.25.

Now compare the equation y = 0.25x + 5 with y = mx + c

m =  0.25

The slope of the function is 0.25.

Now compare the equation y = 4x - 5 with y = mx + c

m =  4

The slope of the function is 4.

Now compare the equation y = -4x + 34 with y = mx + c

m =  -4

The slope of the function is -4.

The values obtained after solving the given equation is x  = 6 and y = 10.

Mathematical expressions with two algebraic symbols on either side of the equal (=) sign are called equations.

This relationship is illustrated by the left and right expressions being equal to one another. The left-hand side equals the right-hand side is a basic, straightforward equation.

As per the information given in the question,

The given equations are,

-5x + 3y = 0   (i)

7x - 4y = 2    (ii)

Multiply equation (i) by -7 and equation (ii) by 5.

35x - 21y = 0       (iii)

35x - 20y = 10       (iv)  

Now, solve the equation for y, because 35x in positive and 35x in negative cancel out each other.

-y = -10

y = 10

Substitute y = 10 in equation (i)

-5x + 3(10) = 0

$150 is the least amount of money you can spend if you want to increase the computer performance by 25%, assuming that you can improve one or all the components in the computer.

RAM is a type of volatile memory, which means that data is only stored there while the chip is powered and is completely erased when the computer is turned off. In gigabytes, RAM memory is measured (GB).

Random access memory is referred to as RAM. Because the data may be swiftly read and updated in any sequence, it is termed random access. Compared to previous storage devices like CD-RWs, which access data in a slower, predetermined order, this is faster.

There are much more methods through which we can improve computer performance but by spending the least amount of money we can do it by upgrading  your RAM. We can upgrade the RAM of the system to 8 GB and 16 GB. If we want to upgrade the RAM to 8 GB then it can be done for around $75 and If we want to upgrade the RAM to 16 GB then it can be done for around $150.

The average number of customers waiting in the queue is 20

In this question, we have been given that the customers arrive at the rate of two per minute.

On average a customer waits 10 minutes in a queue.

We need to find the number of customers waiting in the queue on average.

Assume that the average number of customers waiting in the queue is N.

We have the average Rate of Arrival = 2 customers per minute

So, by the formula for average waiting time under the Single-Server Queue Model,

10 = N/2

N = 10 * 2

N = 20

The average number of customers waiting according to the single-server queue model given the above conditions is 20

If cos x= 2/3 and x is in quadrant I, then the exact value of sin(2x) is (4/3)sin x.

A branch of mathematics called trigonometry examines the connections between triangles' angles and sides. It is predicated on the idea of right triangles, where one angle is 90 degrees and two sides are perpendicular to one another. The six fundamental functions of trigonometry—sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant,  cosecant. These values of functions can be used to address real-world angle and length issues, such as determining the height of a structure or the distance between two locations. Calculus, geometry, and other areas of mathematics are all strongly connected to trigonometry.Modeling actual phenomena like item motion, wave behaviour, and light dispersion is possible with these functions. Physics, engineering, and astronomy are just a few of the disciplines that use trigonometry extensively.

How to solve?

In quadrant I, cos x = 2/3 and sin x > 0.

sin(2x) = 2sin x cos x

sin(2x) = 2 * 2/3 * (sin x)

sin(2x) = (4/3)sin x

If sin x > 0, then sin(2x) = (4/3)sin x > 0.

subtract 4 on both sides

6x=2x+24

subtract 2x on both sides

4x=24

divide both sides by 4

x=6

The question is based on the calculus and the derivative for given equation [tex]t^{4} - 24t^{2} \\ \\[/tex] is t = 0.

Calculus is a discipline of mathematics that focuses on rates of change, to put it simply. For instance, you could wish to determine how quickly an automobile will slow down when it approaches a stop sign. Calculus can assist you in calculating that change. Calculus introduces movement into math, that's correct!

Calculus is a tool used by engineers to calculate things like rates of change and areas; in fact, calculus is the mathematical "backbone" for dealing with problems where variables change with time or some other reference variable. Calculus is concerned with two basic operations: differentiation and integration.

We are given

x(t) = [tex]t^{4} - 24t^{2} \\ \\[/tex]

we need to find its derivative only then we can comment on its increasing decreasing nature

x'(t) = [tex]4t^3 -48t\\\\[/tex]

Explanation:

The process to find the inverse involves this outline.

This process is followed in the "work shown" portion above.

To confirm the answer, let g(x) be the inverse of f(x).

If they were inverses of each other, then these two properties would hold true:

Here's the verification for the first part.

[tex]f(\text{x}) = 2-3\text{x}\\\\f(g(\text{x})) = 2-3*g(\text{x})\\\\f(g(\text{x})) = 2-3*\frac{2-\text{x}}{3}\\\\f(g(\text{x})) = 2-(2-\text{x})\\\\f(g(\text{x})) = 2-2+\text{x}\\\\f(g(\text{x})) = \text{x}\\\\[/tex]

Applying reciprocal property the equation 36 / 5 = 8 / a is solved to find the value of a as 10/9

The definition of reciprocal in mathematics is the inverse of a value or a number.

If n is a real number, then 1/n will be n's reciprocal.

Therefore, we must change the number to its upside-down form. For instance, 1 divided by 9 is the reciprocal of 9, or 1/9.

The result of multiplying a number by its reciprocal now equals one. multiplicative Inverse is another name for it.

Similarly,  36 / 5 = 8 / a

the reciprocal is 5 / 36 = a / 8
