Answer:

1.) Yes

2.) Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

n = k(k + 7)

If k is a positive integer and n = k(k + 7), is n divisible by 6 ?

(1) k is odd. Yes.

Let assume that k = 3

Then, n = 3(3 + 7)

n = 3 × 10

n = 30.

30 is divisible by 6.

(2) When k is divided by 3, the remainder is 2. That is,

Let k = 5

Then,

5/3 = 1 remainder 2

Substitute k into the equation

n = k(k + 7)

n = 5(5 + 7)

n = 5 × 12

n = 60

And 60 is divisible by 6.

Therefore, the answer to both questions is Yes.

Line L passes through the points (1, 1) and (7, 8). What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to line L?

asambeis [7]

When a line passes through the two points $(x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2})$ , its slope is given by the formula $m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

In this question, a line L passes through the points $(1,1) and (7,8)$

So, its slope is given by $m=\frac{8-1}{7-1}$

$m=\frac{7}{6}$

When two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1.

Since, the slope of the line L is $\frac{7}{6}$ , so the slope of the line which is perpendicular to the given line L is $\frac{-6}{7}$ as the product of $\frac{-6}{7} \times \frac{7}{6}=-1$ .

A group of retailers will buy 104 televisions from a wholesaler if the price is $300 and 144 if the price is $250. The wholesale

stepladder [879]

Answer:

The required equilibrium point is (356.538,58.769)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two points on your demand equation are : (300,104) and (250,144)

Take the number of televisions on y-axis and the price of the television on x-axis

Now, to find the demand equation for the given problem, find slope using the above two points :

$\implies Slope=\frac{144-104}{250-300}\\\\\implies Slope = -\frac{4}{5}=-0.8$

And the y - intercept is : y = -0.8x + b

Find the value of b using any point. Let us take (250,144)

144 = -0.8 × 250 + b

⇒ b = 144 + 200

⇒ b = 344

So, the y-intercept is : y = -0.8x + 344

The two points on your supply equation are : (225,88) and (315,68)

Take the number of televisions on y-axis and the price of the television on x-axis

Now, to find the supply equation for the given problem, find slope using the above two points :

$\implies Slope=\frac{68-88}{315-225}\\\\\implies Slope = -\frac{2}{9}$

And the y - intercept is :

$y = -\frac{2}{9}x + b$

Find the value of b using any point. Let us take (225,88)

$88 = -\frac{2}{9}\times 225 + b\\\\\implies b = 88 + 50\\\\\implies b = 138$

So, the y-intercept is :

$y = -\frac{2}{9}x + 138$

To find the equilibrium point, solve both the y-intercepts of the demand equation and the supply equation :

⇒ x = 356.538 and y = 58.769

Hence, the required equilibrium point is (356.538,58.769)

What is the invers function of f(x)=(n+1)^3?

zimovet [89]

Answer:

$f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=(x+1)^3\\\\y=(x+1)^3\\\\x=(y+1)^3\\\\\sqrt[3]{x}=y+1\\\\y=\sqrt[3]{x}-1\\ \\f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}-1$

Graphing both inverses, they will be symmetrical about the line $y=x$ .

¿Cuál de los siguientes puntos no pertenece a la función cuadrática f(x) = 1-x^2 ?

dusya [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question lacks the e=required option. Find the complete question below with options.

Which of the following points does not belong to the quadratic function

f(x) = 1-x²?

a.(0,1) b.(1,0) c.(-1,0)

Let f(x) = 0

The equation becomes 1-x² = 0

Solving 1-x² = 0 for x;

subtract 1 from both sides;

1-x²-1 = 0-1

-x² = -1

multiply both sides by minus sign

-(-x²) = -(-1)

x² = 1

take square root of both sides;

√x² = ±√1

x = ±1

x = 1 and x = -1

when x = 1

f(x) = y = 1-1²

y = 1-1

y = 0

when x = -1

f(x) = y = 1-(-1)²

y = 1-1

y = 0

Hence the coordinate of the function f(x) = 1-x² are (±1, 0) i.e (1, 0) and (-1, 0). The point that does not belong to the quadratic function is (0, 1)
