The correct answer is shown in attached figure
To find the correct graph, we should study the continuity of the function

Check the continuity at x = -2
from the left ⇒⇒ f(-2) = 1/2 * -2 + 3 = 2
from the right ⇒⇒ f(-2) = 2
∴ The function is continuous at x = -2

Check the continuity at x = 3
from the left ⇒⇒ f(3) = 2
from the right ⇒⇒ f(3) = 2*3 - 3 = 3
∴ The function is jump discontinuous at x = 3

From the previous results the correct graph is the last as shown in attached graph.

If cos Θ = square root 2 over 2 and 3 pi over 2 < Θ < 2π, what are the values of sin Θ and tan Θ?

KIM [24]

Answer:

The answer is

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$tan(\theta)=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

$sin^{2}(\theta)+cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

In this problem we have

$cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$\frac{3\pi}{2}$

The angle $\theta$ belong to the third or fourth quadrant

The value of $sin(\theta)$ is negative

Step 1

Find the value of $sin(\theta)$

Remember

$sin^{2}(\theta)+cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

we have

$cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

substitute

$sin^{2}(\theta)+(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})^{2}=1$

$sin^{2}(\theta)=1-\frac{1}{2}$

$sin^{2}(\theta)=\frac{1}{2}$

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ ------> remember that the value is negative

Step 2

Find the value of $tan(\theta)$

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

we have

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

substitute

$tan(\theta)=\frac{-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}$

$tan(\theta)=-1$

Ming used the calculations shown to find out how much he would spend on 6 pounds of ground beef if 10 pounds of ground beef cost

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

He determined pounds per dollar by dividing 10 by 25 but wrote the unit rate as a dollar value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{10\ pounds}{\$25} = \frac{10\ pounds}{25} / \frac{\$25}{25} = \frac{0.4}{1}$

$Unit\ Price = 40\ cents$

$40\ cents * 6 = \$2.40$

Required

Determine Ming's error

Ming's error is from here

$\frac{10\ pounds}{\$25} = \frac{10\ pounds}{25} / \frac{\$25}{25} = \frac{0.4}{1}$

He calculated the unit rate as pound per dollar.

So, after calculating the unit rate, the unit should be:

$Unit\ Rate = 0.4\ pound/\$$

But instead, he solved as:

$Unit\ Rate = \$0.4/ pound$

<em>Hence, (a) is correct</em>

point M with coordinates (3,4) is the midpoint of the line AB and A has the point (-1,6). what is the point of B?

irina [24]

Answer:

B = (7, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

B = 2M -A

B = 2(3, 4) -(-1, 6) = (2·3-(-1), 2·4-6)

B = (7, 2)

_____

The expression for the other end point, B, comes from the equation for the midpoint.

M = (A +B)/2

2M = A + B . . . . . multiply by 2

2M -A = B . . . . . . subtract A to get an expression for B

Andrew believes the honor roll students at his school have an unfair advantage in being assigned to the math class they request.

Artist 52 [7]

<span>   Honor roll Not on honor roll Total
Received math class requested 315   64   379
Did not get math class requested 41   80   121
Total 356 144   500

Honor roll: request granted: 315/356 = 0.88 x 100% = 88%
Not Honor roll request granted: 64/144 = 0.44 x 100% = 44%

Honor roll students were given preference in granting request than those not in the honor roll.</span>

Divide the APR by 360 days and multiply it by 30 days to get the monthly interest. Each loan is usually secured by the car you bought. So we will use the secured APR.

8. Average rating secured apr: 5.85% divide by 360 multiply by 30: 0.4875% monthly rate
Cost of car: 19,725 ; sales tax: 4.75% ; down payment: 2,175

19,725 x 1.0475 = 20,661.94 - 2,175 = 18,486.94 loan amount
18,486.94 x 0.4875% = 90.12 accrued interest for the 1st month.

9. Excellent rating secured apr: 4.80% divide by 360 multiply by 30: 0.40% monthly rate
Cost of car: 15,867 ; sales tax: 5.25% ; down payment: 10% of total cost

15,867 x 1.0525 = 16,700.02 x 90% = 15,030.02 the principal balance at the start of the loan.

10. Fair rating secured apr: 7% divide by 360 multiply by 30: 0.5833% monthly rate
Cost of new car: 19,072 ; sales tax: 4.5% ; down payment: 1,200
Cost of used car: 15,365; sales tax: 4.5% ; down payment: 1,200

19,072 x 1.045 = 19,930.24 - 1,200 = 18,730.24
18,730.24 x 0.5833% = 109.25 accrued interest

15,365 x 1.045 = 16,056.43 - 1,200 = 14,856.43
14,856.43 x 0.5833% = 86.66 accrued interest

109.25 - 86.66 = 22.59 is the difference in interest accrued by the end of the first month.
