a) Evaluate the given function at each value of x. We have f(x) = 2x + 3.
• If x = -2, then
f(-2) = 2 (-2) + 3 = -4 + 3 = -1
• If x = -1, then
f(-1) = 2 (-1) + 3 = -2 + 3 = 1
• If x = 0, then
f(0) = 2 (0) + 3 = 0 + 3 = 3
and so on.
b) Kind of a silly question. Of course f(x) is a function, the instructions for part (a) say so!
But the real reason f(x) is indeed a function is that no single value of x returns more than one value of f(x).

7. Solve the following system using a matrix and converting the matrix to reduced row
echelon form, without introducing any fractions.
3x - 2y + 5z = -7
x – y + 3z = -5
4x + y + z = 6
Answers
Answer:
{x,y,z} = {-22/13,29/13,6/13}
Write the system as the following augmented matrix:
[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 3 & -2 & 5 & -7 \\ 1 & -1 & 3 & -5 \\ 4 & 1 & 1 & 6 \end{array} \right][/tex]
Swap rows 1 and 2 :
[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 3 & -5 \\ 3 & -2 & 5 & -7 \\ 4 & 1 & 1 & 6 \end{array} \right][/tex]
Eliminate the x coefficient from the last two rows by add -3 (row 1) to row 2, and -4 (row 1) to row 3 :
[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 3 & -5 \\ 0 & 1 & -4 & 8 \\ 0 & 5 & -11 & 26 \end{array} \right][/tex]
Eliminate the y coefficient from the first and last rows by adding row 2 to row 1, and -5 (row 2) to row 3 :
[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & -1 & 3 \\ 0 & 1 & -4 & 8 \\ 0 & 0 & 9 & -14 \end{array} \right][/tex]
Eliminate the z coefficient from the second row by adding 4 (row 3) to 9 (row 2) :
[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & -1 & 3 \\ 0 & 9 & 0 & 16 \\ 0 & 0 & 9 & -14 \end{array} \right][/tex]
Eliminate the z coefficient from the first row by adding row 3 to 9 (row 1) :
[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 9 & 0 & 0 & 13 \\ 0 & 9 & 0 & 16 \\ 0 & 0 & 9 & -14 \end{array} \right][/tex]
Then the solution to the system is (x, y, z) such that
9x = 13 and 9y = 16 and 9z = -14
or
x = 13/9 and y = 16/9 and z = -14/9
The exponential function y= a(b)^x passes through the points (3,25) and (8,10). Which of the following is closest to the value of b?
Answers
If the exponential function [tex]y=ab^x[/tex] passes through the points (3,25) and (8,10), the value of b is 0.833
The given exponential equation is:
[tex]y=ab^x[/tex]
The function passes through the points (3, 25) and (8, 10)
Substitute x = 3 and y = 25 into the function [tex]y=ab^x[/tex]
[tex]25=ab^3[/tex]............................(1)
Substitute x = 8 and y = 10 into the function [tex]y=ab^x[/tex]
[tex]10=ab^8[/tex].............................(2)
Divide equation (2) by equation (1)
[tex]\frac{10}{25}=\frac{ab^8}{ab^3} \\\\0.4=b^5\\\\b=0.4^\frac{1}{5} \\\\b=0.4^{0.2}\\\\b=0.833[/tex]
Therefore, if the exponential function [tex]y=ab^x[/tex] passes through the points (3,25) and (8,10), the value of b is 0.833

If sin ∅ = a/b then prove that (sec ∅ + tan ∅) = √b+a/b-a
Answers
Given that
Sin θ = a/b
LHS = Sec θ + Tan θ
⇛(1/Cos θ) + (Sin θ/ Cos θ)
⇛(1+Sin θ)/Cos θ
We know that
Sin² A + Cos² A = 1
⇛Cos² A = 1-Sin² A
⇛Cos A =√(1-Sin² A)
LHS = (1+Sin θ)/√(1- Sin² θ)
⇛ LHS = {1+(a/b)}/√{1-(a/b)²}
= {(b+a)/b}/√(1-(a²/b²))
= {(b+a)/b}/√{(b²-a²)/b²}
= {(b+a)/b}/√{(b²-a²)/b}
= (b+a)/√(b²-a²)
= √{(b+a)(b+a)/(b²-a²)}
⇛ LHS = √{(b+a)(b+a)/(b+a)(b-a)}
Now, (x+y)(x-y) = x²-y²
Where ,
x = b and y = aOn cancelling (b+a) then
⇛LHS = √{(b+a)/(b-a)}
⇛RHS
⇛ LHS = RHS
Sec θ + Tan θ = √{(b+a)/(b-a)}
Hence, Proved.
Answer: If Sinθ=a/b then Secθ+Tanθ=√{(b+a)/(b-a)}.

Real numbers are a set of numbers containing all of the rational numbers and all of the irrational numbers.

Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers. So they would be square root, pi and more.
The cost C in dollars of producing a certain item is represented by the equation C = n/2+ 20. where n

Answers
Considering the definition of equation, for a value of n of 10 the cost and revenue are equal.
What is equationA first degree equation is a mathematical equality with one or more unknowns.
Solving an equation consists of finding the value that the unknown must take so that equality is fulfilled.
The steps to solve an equation are as follows:
Group similar terms. That is, proceed to pass the terms containing variables from one side of the expression and the constants from the other side of the expression.Finally, the unknown is solved.Value of nThe cost C in dollars of producing a certain item is represented by the equation C = [tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex]+ 20, where n represents the number of items produced.
The revenue R, in dollars, from selling n items is represented by the equation R=2n+ 5.
The cost and revenue are equal. Then:
[tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex]+ 20= 2n+ 5
Solving:
When a term passes to the other side of equality, its sign changes (if it is positive it becomes negative and vice versa):
20 -5= 2n - [tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex]
15= [tex]\frac{3}{2}n[/tex]
The X is cleared. Since the term in front of it is multiplying, it goes to the other side of the equation by dividing.
15 ÷[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]= n
10= n
Finally, for a value of n of 10 the cost and revenue are equal.

The median weight of 15 dogs in a pet store is 12 pounds. Which action could change the median?
Answers
Answer:
If there was another dog whose weight was greater than or less than 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 4
When we add 4 to the data set we have:
184 ÷ 16 = 11.5
This changed the median.
12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 28
When we add 28 to the data set we have:
208 ÷ 16 = 13
This also changed the median.
By adding dog of weight other than 12 pounds could change the median.
What is median?
The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers and can be more descriptive of that data set than the average. The median is sometimes used as opposed to the mean when there are outliers in the sequence that might skew the average of the values.
If we add the dog whose weight is more than 12 pounds, median will increase .
If we add the dog whose weight is less than 12 pounds, then median will decrease.
Hence, adding dog of weight other than 12 pounds could change the median.

Alan has $400 in his checking account. He withdraws $50 each week. The amount remaining in his account, f(x), after x weeks is
represented by a function. What is the range of the function?
Answers
Answer:
{0, 50, 100, 150, ..., 350, 400}
Step-by-step explanation:
The range of Alan's balance will be multiples of 50 that are between (and including) 0 and 400.
{0, 50, 100, 150, ..., 350, 400}
_____
The expression for f(x) is ...
f(x) = initial balance - (rate of withdrawal) × (time period)
f(x) = 400 -50x
This is a continuous linear function defined for all x, and capable of producing f(x) values between -∞ and +∞. The range of this function is "all real numbers."
However, as applied to this problem, the domain of x is the set of integers from 0 to 8. The corresponding range is multiples of 50 from 0 to 8, that is, values 0, 50, ..., 350, 400.
