−1/3b=9
Divide -1/3 on both sides
b= 9 divided by -1/3
Convert the 9 into an improper fraction
b= 9/1 divided by -1/3
Convert the division sign to multiplication while flipping the fraction -1/3 to -3/1
b= 9/1*-3/1
Multiply
Final Answer: b = -27

First 100 terms of the following sequence 3 ,7 ,11

Sveta_85 [38]

Given that $a_1 = 3, d = 4$

Find the nth term:

$a_n = 3 + 4(n - 1)$

$a_n = 3 + 4n - 4$

$a_n = 4n - 1$

Find the 100th term:

$a_{100} = 4(100) - 1 = 399$

Find the Sum:

$\text{Sum} = 100(\dfrac{a_1 + a_{100}}{2} )= 100 (\dfrac{3 + 399}{2}) = 20100$

Which equation represents a nonlinear function? y=−85x+19.4 y = − − 8 5 x + 19.4 y=−12x2−7 y = − − 1 2 x 2 − − 7 y=x4+x y = x 4

Pavel [41]

Answer:

The answer is below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are not clear. I would solve a similar question.

A linear function is a function in the form:

y = mx + b; where y and x are variables, m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

From the options:

a) x(y - 5) = 2

xy - 5x = 2. Since the equation is not in the form of y = mx + b, hence it is not a linear function. It is a nonlinear function.

b) y - 2(x + 9) = 0

y - 2x - 18 = 0

y = 2x + 18. The equation is in the form of y = mx + b, hence it is a linear function.

c) 3y + 6(2 - x) = 5

3y + 12 - 6x = 5

3y = 6x - 7. The equation is in the form of y = mx + b, hence it is a linear function.

d) 2(y + x) = 0

2y + 2x = 0

2y = -2x. The equation is in the form of y = mx + b, hence it is a linear function.

Kenny wants to learn how to serve overhand in volleyball. When he practiced yesterday, he made 7 serves over the net for every 2

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer: 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Kenny made 7 serves over the net for every 2 serves that did not go over the net i.e. success rate of Kenny is

$\Rightarrow \text{success rate}=\dfrac{7}{2+7}\times 100=\dfrac{700}{9}\%$

for 36 serves, applying the same success rate, it is

$\Rightarrow \text{success rate}=\dfrac{700}{9}\times\dfrac{1}{100}\times 36=28$

Serves that did not make over the net is $36-28=8$

Thus, Kenny will make 28 serves that make over the net

What do all members of the family of linear functions f(x)=1m(x+3) have in common?

dsp73

All linear functions have in common...
1. Their highest exponent is 1.
2. The graphs of the equations are lines.

When finding things in common between different types of functions, you always have to look at the two sides of math; geometry and algebra. Geometry is all the graphs, and algebra is the equations.

I hope this helps!
