Complete the remander of the
table for the given function rule:
y = 3x-8
X= -4,-2,0,2,4
Y=-20,?,?,?
Step-by-step explanation:
what is the problem ?
all you need to do is put every different value of x into the spot of x and calculate the result.
x = -4
y = 3×-4 - 8 = -12 - 8 = -20
x = -2
y = 3×-2 - 8 = -6 - 8 = -14
x = 0
y = 3×0 - 8 = 0 - 8 = -8
x = 2
y = 3×2 - 8 = 6 - 8 = -2
x = 4
y = 3×4 - 8 = 12 - 8 = 4
Why can the Vertical Angle Theorem NEVER be used to prove two triangles are congruent?
Solution
Why can the Vertical Angle Theorem NEVER be used to prove two triangles are congruent?
The Vertical angle theorem states that vertical angles are always congruent.
We can't use this to proof congruence between two triangles because this theorem not provide enough evidence to obtain the SSS, ASA, SAS, AAS, HHL. For this reason is not appropiate to use it for this case.
During the last year the value of my car depreciated by 20%. If the value of my car is $19,000 today,then what was the value of my car one year ago? Round your answer to the nearest cent, if necessary .
Solution:
Given:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Depreciation percentage = 20\%} \\ \text{Present value = \$19,000} \end{gathered}[/tex]Let the value of the car one year ago be represented by x.
If 20% has been depreciated, then it means the percentage left is;
100 - 20 = 80%
Hence,

a. What is the value of f(1.2)?f(1.2) =b. What is the largest value of x for which f(x) = 1.5?x =
In order to find the value of f(1.2), we just need to find the value of f(x) in the graph that corresponds to x = 1.2.
Looking at the graph, when x = 1.2, the function f(x) is equal to 2.
Then, to find the largest value of x for which f(x) = 1.5, we look for the value 1.5 in the vertical axis, then find the corresponding value of x.
For this value, we have two possible values of x: 1.2 and 3.6.
So the largest value is x = 3.6
The height of a tree is x feet. If it grows ½ times the original height, choose the correct expression that denotes the situation.

The net of a cone is shown below. What is the surface area of the cone rounded to the nearest tenth of a square inch? Use π = 3.14.A. 125.6 in²B. 1,256.6 in²C. 175.8 in²D. 251.3 in²
ANSWER
[tex](C)175.8in^2[/tex]EXPLANATION
The surface area of a cone can be found using the formula:
[tex]A=\pi r^2+\pi rl[/tex]where l = slant height
r = radius
The diameter of the cone is given, but we can find the radius since the radius is half the diameter:
[tex]\begin{gathered} r=\frac{D}{2} \\ r=\frac{8}{2} \\ r=4\text{ units} \end{gathered}[/tex]From the figure, the slant height of the cone is 10 units.
Hence, its surface area is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=(\pi\cdot4^2)+(\pi\cdot4\cdot10) \\ A=50.24+125.6 \\ A\approx175.8in^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]The answer is option C.
9 mVolume = 75 n mm3RadiusG
we know that
The volume of a cone is equal to
[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot\pi\cdot r^2\cdot h[/tex]In this problem
we have
V=75pi mm^3
h=9 m------> convert to mm
h=9,000 mm
substitute in the given equation
[tex]\begin{gathered} 75\cdot\pi=\frac{1}{3}\cdot\pi\cdot r^2\cdot9,000 \\ \text{simplify} \\ 75=r^2\cdot3,000 \\ r^2=\frac{75}{3,000} \\ \\ r^2=\frac{1}{40} \\ \\ r=\frac{1}{\sqrt[\square]{40}} \\ \\ r=\frac{\sqrt[\square]{40}}{40} \\ \text{simplify} \\ r=\frac{2\sqrt[\square]{10}}{40} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]r=\frac{\sqrt[\square]{10}}{20}\text{ mm}[/tex]#2 Funding the perimeter and area of the composite figure.
1)
We can find the circumference using the formula
[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]but remember that the diameter is 2 times the radius
[tex]d=2r[/tex]So we can use the formula using radius or diameter, the problem gives us the diameter, so let's use it, so the formula will change a little bit
[tex]C=\pi d[/tex]Where "d" is the diameter.
d = 40 yd, and π = 3.14, so the circumference will be
[tex]\begin{gathered} C=\pi d \\ C=3.14\cdot40=125.6\text{ yd} \end{gathered}[/tex]And to find out the area we can use this formula
[tex]A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}[/tex]Or if you prefer use the radius
[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]Let's use the formula with the diameter again
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4} \\ \\ A=\frac{3.14\cdot(40)^2}{4} \\ \\ A=1256\text{ yd}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then the circumference is 125.6 yd and the area is 1256 yd^2
2)
Here we have a compounded figure, we have half of a circle and a triangle, so let's think about how we get the perimeter and the area.
The perimeter will be the sum of the sides of the triangle and half of a circumference, we already know the length of the triangle's side, it's 10.82, we got to find the half of a circle circumference and then sum with the sides.
We know that
[tex]C=\pi d[/tex]And we can see in the figure that d = 12 mm, then
[tex]C=\pi d=3.14\cdot12=37.68\text{ mm}[/tex]But that's a full circumference, we just want half of it, so let's divide it by 2.
[tex]\frac{C}{2}=\frac{37.68}{2}=18.84\text{ mm}[/tex]Now we have half of a circumference we can approximate the perimeter of the figure, it will be
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=10.82+10.82+18.84 \\ \\ P=40.48\text{ mm} \end{gathered}[/tex]The area will be the area of the triangle sum the area of half of a circle
Then let's find the triangle's area first
[tex]A_{}=\frac{b\cdot h}{2}[/tex]The base "b" will be the diameter of the circle, and the height "h" will be 9 mm, then
[tex]A_{}=\frac{12\cdot9}{2}=54\text{ mm}^2[/tex]And the half of a circle's area will be
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{\pi d^2}{4}=\frac{3.14\cdot(12)^2}{8}=$$56.52$$\text{ mm}^2[/tex]Then the total area will be
[tex]A_T=56.52+54=110.52\text{ mm}^2[/tex]Therefore, the perimeter and the area is

Given the diagram shown with AB|| XZ
AY = 7
AX = 6
AB= 14
find XZ.
Step-by-step explanation:
due to AB being parallel to XZ, we know that ABY and XZY are similar triangles.
therefore, they have the same angles, and there is one common scale factor for all side lengths from one triangle to the other.
so,
AY / XY = AB / XZ
XY = AY + AX = 7 + 6 = 13
7/13 = 14/XZ
XZ×7/13 = 14
XZ×7 = 14×13
XZ = 14×13/7 = 2×13 = 26

What is an equation?
An equation is a formula in mathematics that expresses the equivalence of two expressions by linking them with the equals symbol =. The word equation and its cognates in various languages may have somewhat different definitions; for example, in French, an équation is defined as including one or more variables, but in English, an equation is any well-formed formula consisting of two expressions linked by an equals sign. Solving an equation with variables entails finding which variables' values make the equality true. The variables for which the equation must be solved are also known as unknowns, and the values of the unknowns that fulfill the equality are known as equation solutions. Identity equations and conditional equations are the two types of equations.

What is Rational number?Any number of the form p/q, where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0, is a rational number. The letter q stands for the set of rational numbers.
The word "ratio" is where the word "rational" first appeared. Rational numbers are therefore closely tied to the idea of fractions, which stand for ratios. In other terms, a number is a rational number if it can be written as a fraction in which the numerator and denominator are both integers.

The total movie attendance in a country was 1.16 billion people in 1990 and 1.40 billion in 2008. Assume that the pattern in movie attendance is linear function of time. (Need to answer questions a-d for this question - pic attached)
a)
In order to find a function M(t), first let's identify two ordered pairs that are solutions to the equation.
From the given information, we have the ordered pairs (1990, 1.16) and (2008, 1.4).
Using these ordered pairs, let's find the slope-intercept form of a linear equation (y = mx + b)
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m=\frac{1.4-1.16}{2008-1990}=\frac{0.24}{18}=0.01333 \\ \\ y=mx+b \\ 1.16=1990\cdot0.01333+b \\ b=-25.3667 \\ \\ y=0.01333x-25.3667 \end{gathered}[/tex]So the equation is M = 0.01333t - 25.3667

[tex]\begin{gathered} M=0.01333\cdot2015-25.3667 \\ M=26.86-25.37 \\ M=1.49 \end{gathered}[/tex]d)
For M = 1.5, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1.5=0.01333\cdot t-25.3667 \\ 0.01333t=26.8667 \\ t=2015.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]zero and negative exponentswrite in simplest form without zero or negative exponents
We have the following rule for exponents:
[tex]a^0=1[/tex]then, in this case we have:
[tex](-17)^0=1[/tex]
