What are the domain and range of g(x)= √x-3?

A. D: [3, ∞) and R: [0, ∞)
B. D: [–3, ∞) and R: [0, ∞)
C. D: (–3, ∞) and R: (–∞, 0)
D. D: (3, ∞) and R: (–∞, 0)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I guess, A is the wanted answer, but

A and D together are the really correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

if I understand this correctly, then

g(x) = sqrt(x - 3)

the domain of a function is the definition of all valid x (input) values.

the range of a function is the definition of all valid y (result) values.

well, the content (the arguments) of a square root cannot be negative (at least not while dealing with real numbers).

so, the answer options B and D are automatically out, because the domain contains values that would make the arguments of the square root negative.

I guess your teacher wants to focus only on the positive results of the square root, so A is the correct number.

BUT formally, without designated restrictions, a square root has always 2 solutions : a positive and a negative one.

because (-x)² = (x)² = x².

so, I would have to say that the really correct answer is

A + D, because the range contains both, the positive and the negative numbers.

I would input each function and sees which one matches the image on the test.

As for the second image, I believe the answer is C; x is greater than or equal to -1.

For the third and last image, I believe the answer is A; x is less than -1.

Deion has 62 m of fencing to build a four-sided fence around a rectangular plot of
land. The area of the land is 228 square meters. Solve for the dimensions (length and
width) of the field?

Answers

The dimensions of the the plot of land is a length of 19 meters and width of 12 meters.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the length of the field and y represent the width of the field, hence:

Deion has 62 m of fencing:

2(x + y) = 62

x + y = 31

y = 31 - x     (1)

The area of the land is 228 square meters. hence:

xy = 228

x(31 - x) = 228

x² - 31x + 228 = 0  

x = 12 or x = 19

when x = 12; y = 31 - 12 = 19

when x = 19; y = 31 - 19 = 12

The dimensions of the the plot of land is a length of 19 meters and width of 12 meters.

find the area of the shaded polygons

Answers

Answer:

  4 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of the figure are on grid points, so it is appropriate to use Pick's theorem to find the area.

__

formula

Pick's theorem tells you the area is ...

  A = i +b/2 -1

where i is the number of grid points interior to the figure (0), and b is the number of grid points on the boundary (10).

application

Using the counted values in the formula, we find the area to be ...

  A = 0 +10/2 -1 = 4

The area of the polygon is 4 square units.

_____

Additional comment

There are several other ways to find the area. Here are a couple:

decompose the figure

A horizontal line 1 unit up from the bottom will divide the figure into a trapezoid and a triangle. The trapezoid has bases 4 and 1, and height 1, so its area is ...

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h = 1/2(4 +1)(1) = 5/2

The triangle has base 1 and height 3, so its area is ...

  A = 1/2bh = 1/2(1)(3) = 3/2

Then the total area is 5/2 +3/2 = 8/2 = 4 square units.

subtract empty space

The figure occupies a 4×4 square with triangles removed from the left side and the top. Each of those triangles has a base of 4 and a height of 3. The remaining (shaded) area is ...

  A = s² -1/2bh -1/2bh

  A = 4² -1/2(4)(3) -1/2(4)(3) = 16 -12 = 4 square units

3 - 4 = -1

5 - 6 = - 1

Treating Grandi's series as a divergent geometric series we may use the same algebraic methods that evaluate convergent geometric series to obtain a third value:

S = 1 − 1 − 1 + ..., so

1 − S = 1 − (1 − 1 − 1 ...) = 1 − 1 − 1 ... = S

1 - S = S

1 = 2*S

resulting in S = 1/2. The same conclusion results from calculating −S, subtracting the result from S, and solving 2S = 1

1/2 of the last term is 100 x 1/2 = 50

This because you are using 2 numbers per -1

Numbers of players on team are going to be 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5.

(Select the correct answer)

A. Positive linear association

B. Exponential relationship

C. Negative linear association

D. No relationship

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step-by-step explanation:

Lower x values (numbers of players on team) are correlated with higher y values (time taken to complete game)

[note: I know which values are x and y because of a cause-and-effect relationship. x causes y. number of players causes a change in minutes {it wouldn't make sense for the number of time it took to cause the number of players} ]

So, if we were to graph this relationship, we would see a downward-slope / negative slope of a line, because greater x-values are associated with lower y-values.

So, you would see a negative line, showing a negative linear association.

The missing term in the sequence is determined as follows;

Tₙ = a + (n - 1)d

1.0 a₄ = 18.4 and a₅ = 16.2, a₁₂ = ?

T₄ = a + 3d

18.4 = a + 3d  ---(1)

Considering the definition of exponential function, the value of the car is 11,287.25 dollars.

What is exponential function

An exponential function is one in which the independent variable x appears in the exponent and has a constant a as its base. Its expression is:

f(x)= aˣ

Being a a positive real, a > 0, and different from 1, a ≠ 1.

When 0 < a < 1, then the exponential function is a decreasing function and when a > 1, it is an increasing function.

What is the price of the car

In this case, the value of that car depreciates based on the function f(t)=12,000×[tex]0.96^{t}[/tex] where t is measured in years after purchase.

After 3/2 years, the value of the car is calculated as:

Two numbers multiply the value on top (-84) and add to the value on the bottom (17) is 21 and -4.

What is multiplication?

Multiplication is one of the four basic arithmetic operations, alongside addition, subtraction, and division. Multiplication essentially means the repeated addition.

The two given numbers are -84 and 17.

We need to write two numbers that multiply to the value on top (-84) and add to the value on the bottom (17).

If we multiply 21 and -4, we get the product as -84.

That is, 21×(-4)=-84

If we add 21 and -4, we get the sum as -17.

That is, 21+(-4)=21-4=17

Therefore, two numbers multiply the value on top (-84) and add to the value on the bottom (17) is 21 and -4.
