For f(x) = −7x − 13, find f(x) when x = −1.

An equation for the constant of proportionality is (b) y = kx

From the question, we have the options to represent the given parameters

An equation that represents a constant of proportion passes through the origin

So, we have the following points

(x, y) = (0, 0) and (x, y)

The slope (k) is then calculated as

Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

So, we have

k = (y - 0)/(x - 0)

Evaluate the difference

k = y/x

Make y the subject

y = kx

Hence, the constant of proportionality has an equation of (b) y = kx

The side lengths of the triangle is 17, 144, 145

Let x be the length of the short leg

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 25 cm more than seven times the length of the shorter leg

The length of the long leg is 25 + 7x

The length of the hypotenuse is 26 cm more than seven times the length of the shorter leg.

The length of the hypotenuse is 26 + 7x

(26 + 7x)² = (25 + 7x)² + x²

676 + 364x + 49x² = 625 + 350x + 49x² + x²

0 = x² -14x - 51

0 = (x - 17)(x + 3)

{-3, 17}

Length cannot be negative.

The length of the long leg is 25 + 7x = 25 + 7(17) = 144

The length of the hypotenuse is 26 + 7x = 26 + 7(17) = 145

Therefore, the side lengths of the triangle is 17, 144, 145

What is sprinkler?

A sprinkler irrigation system is a tool used to irrigate (water) lawns, gardens, golf courses, and other areas. They are also utilised for cooling and dust control in the air. Sprinkler irrigation is a technique for applying water in a way that is similar to rainfall: it is controlled. Pumps, valves, pipes, as well as sprinklers are just a few of the possible components of the network used to distribute the water. Sprinklers for irrigation can be used in residential, commercial, and agricultural settings. Both sandy soil and uneven terrain with insufficient water supply can benefit from it. The rotating nozzle-topped perpendicular pipes are linked to the main pipeline at regular intervals. Water leaks from the rotating nozzles when it is pressurised and forced through the main pipe.

The irrigation sprinkler in this instance is angled.

θ = 50 = 50 π/ 180 rad.

It mists a sphere-shaped area.

A = 2/(2 miles).

If the sprinkler's length is

miles, L. It will be watered within the circle's radius.

Hence,

L^2 = A when divided by two in radians.

⇒ L = √ (2 A / θ)

= √ [(2 x 2 x 180) /40 π]

≈ 18 miles

Hence, The diameter of his circular field is 18 miles

Through proportionality, we find out that the value of [tex]y[/tex] is 25/4 when [tex]x[/tex] is doubled, 25/9 when [tex]x[/tex] is tripled, 25/36 when [tex]x[/tex] is increased to 5 times its original value, 1 when [tex]x[/tex] is increased by 5 times its original value, and 400 when [tex]x[/tex] is reduced by 75%.

It is given to us that -

[tex]y[/tex] is inversely proportional to [tex]x^{2}[/tex]

This implies that -

[tex]y[/tex] ∝ [tex]\frac{1}{x^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]= > y=\frac{k}{x^{2} }[/tex] ----- (1)

where, [tex]k[/tex] = Constant of proportionality

It is also given to us that for a particular value of [tex]x[/tex], [tex]y[/tex] is 25.

From equation (1) and from the above statement, it can be said that -

[tex]x^{2} =\frac{k}{y} \\= > x^{2} =\frac{k}{25}\\= > x=\frac{\sqrt{k} }{5}[/tex] ------ (2)

Now, we have to find out the value of [tex]y[/tex] when [tex]x[/tex] -

a) is doubled

=> [tex]x_{1} = 2x[/tex] ---- (3)

Using equation (3) in equation (1),

[tex]= > y=\frac{k}{(x_{1}) ^{2} }\\= > y=\frac{k}{(2x)^{2} }\\= > y=\frac{k}{4x^{2} }[/tex]---- (4)

Substituting the value of [tex]x[/tex] from equation (2) in equation (4), we have

[tex]y=\frac{k}{4x^{2} }\\= > y=\frac{k}{4(\frac{\sqrt{k} }{5} )^{2} } \\= > y=\frac{25k}{4k}\\ = > y=\frac{25}{4}[/tex]

Thus, the value of [tex]y[/tex] is 25/4 when [tex]x[/tex] is doubled.

b) is tripled

=> [tex]x_{2}=3x[/tex] ---- (5)

Using equation (5) in equation (1),

[tex]= > y=\frac{k}{(x_{2} )^{2} } \\= > y=\frac{k}{(3x)^{2} } \\= > y=\frac{k}{9x^{2} }[/tex]------ (6)

Substituting the value of [tex]x[/tex] from equation (2) in equation (6), we have

[tex]y=\frac{k}{9x^{2} }\\= > y=\frac{k}{9(\frac{\sqrt{k} }{5} )^{2} } \\= > y=\frac{25k}{9k} \\= > y=\frac{25}{9}[/tex]

Thus, the value of [tex]y[/tex] is 25/9 when [tex]x[/tex] is tripled.

c) increased to 5 times its original value

[tex]x_{3}= x+5x\\= > x_{3}=6x[/tex]

From equation (2),

[tex]x_{3}=6x\\= > x_{3}=6(\frac{\sqrt{k} }{5} )\\= > x_{3}=\frac{6\sqrt{k} }{5}[/tex]----- (7)

Using equation (7) in equation (1),

[tex]y=\frac{k}{(x_{3}) ^{2} } \\= > y=\frac{k}{(\frac{6\sqrt{k} }{5} )^{2} } \\= > y=\frac{25k}{36k} \\= > y = \frac{25}{36}[/tex]

Thus, the value of [tex]y[/tex] is 25/36 when [tex]x[/tex] is increased to 5 times its original value.

d) increased by 5 times its original value

[tex]x_{4}=5x\\= > x_{4}=5(\frac{\sqrt{k} }{5}) \\= > x_{4}=\sqrt{k}\\[/tex]------ (8)

Using equation (8) in equation (1),

[tex]= > y=\frac{k}{(x_{4}) ^{2} }\\= > y=\frac{k}{(\sqrt{k} )^{2} } \\= > y=1\\[/tex]

Thus, the value of [tex]y[/tex] is 1 when [tex]x[/tex] is increased by 5 times its original value.

e) reduced by 75%

[tex]= > x_{5}= x-(\frac{75}{100} )x\\= > x_{5}=\frac{100x-75x}{100}\\ = > x_{5}=\frac{25x}{100} \\= > x_{5}=0.25x[/tex]

Substituting the value of [tex]x[/tex] from equation (2) in the above equation,

[tex]x_{5}=0.25x\\= > x_{5}=0.25(\frac{\sqrt{k} }{5} )\\= > x_{5}=0.05\sqrt{k}[/tex]----- (9)

Using equation (9) in equation (1),

[tex]= > y=\frac{k}{(x_{5}) ^{2} }\\= > y=\frac{k}{(0.05\sqrt{k}) ^{2} } \\= > y= \frac{1}{0.0025}\\ = > y= 400[/tex]

Thus, the value of [tex]y[/tex] is 400 when [tex]x[/tex] is reduced by 75%.

Therefore, through proportionality, we find out that the [tex]y[/tex] is 25/4 when [tex]x[/tex] is doubled, 25/9 when [tex]x[/tex] is tripled, 25/36 when [tex]x[/tex] is increased to 5 times its original value, 1 when [tex]x[/tex] is increased by 5 times its original value, and 400 when [tex]x[/tex] is reduced by 75%.

If ∠EFH and ∠HFI are complementary angles,∠EFH = (2x + 2)°  and ∠HFI= (x+1), the measure of x will be 29°.

When two lines or rays converge at the same point, the measurement between them is called an "Angle."

It is given that, ∠EFH and ∠HFI are complementary angles,∠EFH = (2x + 2)°  and ∠HFI= (x+1),

Complementary angles are those where the sum of the two angles is 90 degrees. In other words, two angles are considered complementary if they combine to form a right angle. The two angles are said to complement one another in this context.

Since ∠EFH and ∠HFI are complementary angles,

∠EFH + ∠HFI = 90

According to algebra, we can break 12 into parts such that each X value when multiplied by 6 gives a total of 72. Thus, the 2nd option is correct.

Divide the quantity "12" into parts (the number of parts is not specified) and multiply each part by 6.

If you don't want to divide 12, the straight forward way is to simply multiply 12 by 6. 12 x 6 = 72

If we decompose 12 into 12 parts,

X₁, X₂, X₃, X₄, X₅, X₆, X₇, X₈, X₉, X₁₀, X₁₁, X₁₂

In this case X₁ represents the first unit of the number 12. X₂ represents the second unit of the number 12. X₁₂ represents the last unit of the number 12. Therefore, X₁ + X₂ + X₃ + X₄ + X5 + X₆ + X₇ + X₈ + X₉ + X₁₀ + X₁₁ + X₁₂ = 12

Each X value is the number 1. There are 12 locations and each case has its own identity. Multiplying each X value by 6 gives a total of 72.

According to algebra, we can break 12 into parts such that each X value when divided by 6 gives a total of 72. Thus, the 2nd option is correct.

Cluster Sampling is a type of probability sampling and other options are non- probability sampling examples .

Sampling :

Sampling is defined as a technique that selects individual members or subsets from a population to help determine characteristics of the population as a whole.

Croach and Housden postulate that a sample is a finite number taken from a large group for testing and analysis, and that the sample can be taken as representative of the group as a whole.

There are two main types of sampling:

i) probability sampling

ii) Non-probability sampling

A) probability sampling:

It is defined as the sampling technique which researchers use a related method to draw probability theory samples from a larger population.

The most important requirement for probabilistic sampling is that everyone in the population has a known equal chance of being selected.

Probability Samples:

1. Stratified Sampling: Stratified sampling is a type of sampling technique that divides the total population into smaller groups or strata to complete the sampling process. Hierarchies are formed based on some common characteristics of demographic data.

2. Cluster Sampling: Cluster sampling is a probabilistic sampling technique in which researchers divide a population into multiple groups (clusters) for research purposes. Researchers then select random groups using simple sampling techniques for data collection and data analysis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is:  " 4096 x⁶ " .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:   [(4x)³] ² ;  Simplify.

Method 1)
Note the following multiplication property of exponents:
    ⇒ (aᵇ)ᶜ  = a⁽ᵇ*ᶜ⁾  ;

As such:

   [ [(4x)³] ²  = (4x)⁽²ˣ³⁾ = (4x)⁶ ;

Now; note the following property of exponents:
   (ab)ᶜ  = aᶜ * bᶜ  ;

As such:  (4x)⁶ = 4⁶ * x⁶ ;

Now; we can simplify 4⁶  ;  by using a calculator:
  →  4⁶  = 4096 ;

Or:  4⁶  =  4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 ;

            =  (4 * 4) * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 ;

            = 16 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * ) ;

            = (16 * 4) * 4 * 4 * 4 ;

            =  64 * 4 * 4 * 4 ;  

            =   (64 * 4) * 4 * 4 ;

            =   (126 * 4) * 4    

            =  (256) * 4 ;

            =  4096 .
_______

or:   4⁶  = 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 ;

             =  (4 * 4) * (4 * 4) * (4 * 4) ;

             = 16 * 16 * 16 ;

             =  (16 * 16) * 16 ;

             = (256) * 16 ,   =  4096.

_______
So:       [(4x)³] ²  =  4⁶  *  x⁶  =  4096 x⁶ ;
_______
Method 2) Given: [(4x)³] ² ;

 (4x)³     =  4x * 4x * 4x ;

 [(4x)³]²  =  (4x * 4x * 4x)²

              = (4x * 4x * 4x) * (4x * 4x * 4x) ;

              =    (4 * 4 * 4 * x * x * x * 4 * 4 * 4 * x * x * x ;

              =   4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * x * x * x * x * x * x ;

 ⇒ (4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4)  = 4⁶  = 4096 ; (see Method 1 above).
 ⇒ (x * x *  x * x * x * x)  = x⁶ ;

                      ⇒  [(4x)³] ² =  4⁶ * x⁶ =  4096 x⁶ ;
_______
Method 3)
 [(4x)³] ²  = (4x)⁽²ˣ³⁾  = (4x)⁶ ;

      (4x)⁶ = 4x * 4x * 4x * 4x * 4x * 4x ;

              = 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * x * x * x * x * x * x ;

              = (4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4) * (x * x * x * x * x * x) ;

⇒ (4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4) = 4⁶ = 4096 ; [see Method 1 above].
⇒  (x * x * x * x * x * x)  = x⁶ ;

                      ⇒   [(4x)³] ² =  4⁶ * x⁶ =  4096 x⁶ .

_______
The correct answer is:  " 4096 x⁶ " .

Answer:

Simplify (4x to the power of 3) power of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The school I go to tells me to do this:

(4x^3)^2

(4x^3)(4x^3)

(4)(4) - 16

(x^3)(x^3) - x^6 bc you add the exponents

16x^6 which is correct bc my teacher has checked us on that before in class bc we have had equations like that ^_^

Answer:

  A.  4.33 minutes

  B.  it will be about 11% less than the initial time (4.85 -0.54)

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the team's final time if it decreases by 5 1/2% on each of two runs after their initial run time of 4.85 minutes. And you want to know how to check the answer for reasonableness.

If the time decreases by 5.5% on each run, it is multiplied by (1 -5.5%) = 0.945 on each run. The time after 2 more runs will be ...

  (4.85 min)(0.945)(0.945) ≈ 4.33 min

The team's time on the final run was about 4.33 minutes.

For small percentages, the product of small percentage changes is nearly the same as the sum of the percentage changes. That is, two changes by -5.5% will be about the same as a change of 2 × (-5.5%) = -11%.

Of course a decrease of 11% is a decrease of 10% and another decrease of 1%. This makes the estimated time be ...

  4.85 -0.485 -0.0485 ≈ 4.85 -0.54 = 4.31

The estimate is a larger change than the actual change, so the computed value of 4.33 is judged to be reasonable. (The actual effect of two -5.5% changes is about a -10.7% change.)

Additional comment

This "add the percentages" is a suitable way to check the reasonableness of all sorts of problems involving percent changes, including problems involving investments or loan interest.

The equation can be proved by taking Pythagorean Triplets into consideration, therefore 5^{2} + 12^{2} = 13^{2}

What are Pythagorean Triplets?

The "Pythagorean Triple" is a collection of three positive numbers, a, b, and c, that satisfy the following rule:

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

From the figure two in the attached image it can be very well observed that 5,12 and 13 are making a pythagorean triplets, therefore it can be said 5^{2} + 12^{2} = 13^{2}

Hence Proved.
