Part A
What is the output if the input is x = -3?
f(x) = 2(-3) - 1 = -6 - 1 = -7
Therefore, the output is -7.
Which is an ordered pair of the relation y = 2/3x - 5?
Plug in the given x-values into the equation to find the corresponding y-value:
A. (9, 2) - y = 2/3(9) - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1
B. (6, -1) - y = 2/3(6) - 5 = 4 - 5 = -1
C. (3, 3) - y = 2/3(3) - 5 = 2 - 5 = -3
D. (-3, 7) - y = 2/3(-3) - 5 = -2 - 5 = -7
Therefore, the correct answer is B. (6, -1).
Which are examples of non-linear functions?
Non-linear functions are C. y = 5x^3 + 5 and D. y = 3x^2 + 10.
Determine the rate change of the linear function given the table below.
Calculate the rate of change by finding the difference in y-values and dividing by the difference in x-values:
Rate of change (M) = (2 - (-10))/(1 - (-3)) = 12/4 = 3
Therefore, the rate change is 3.
A computer technician charges a fee of $50 to diagnose a problem and $70 per hour to fix it. Write an equation in slope-intercept form to represent this situation.
Let x be the number of hours and y be the total cost. The equation is: y = 70x + 50
The initial value is $50 and the rate of change is $70.
Which equation of the linear function models the relationship shown in the table?
Plug in the given x-values into the equation to find the corresponding y-values for each option:
A. y = -3(2) + 19 = 13
B. y = 2(2) + 21 = 25
C. y = 2(2) + 24 = 28
D. y = -2(2) + 25 = 21
Therefore, the correct answer is B. y = 2x + 21.
Part A
What is the common difference of the arithmetic sequence 50, 46, 42, 38,....?
The common difference is -4.
Part B
Determine the 6th and 20th terms of the arithmetic sequence.
Find the general formula for the arithmetic sequence: An = 50 - 4(n-1)
6th term: A6 = 50 - 4(6-1) = 50 - 4(5) = 50 - 20 = 30
20th term: A20 = 50 - 4(20-1) = 50 - 4(19) = 50 - 76 = -26
Therefore, the 6th term is 30 and the 20th term is -26.
