If f(x) = b.x-a÷b-a + a.x-b÷a - b
Prove that: f (a) + f(b) = f (a + b)​

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Consider the given function:

[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{b\cdot(x-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot(x-b)}{a-b}[/tex]

To prove:

[tex]f(a)+f(b)=f(a+b)[/tex]

Solution:

We have,

[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{b\cdot(x-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (x-b)}{a-b}[/tex]

Substituting [tex]x=a[/tex], we get

[tex]f(a)=\dfrac{b\cdot(a-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a-b)}{a-b}[/tex]

[tex]f(a)=\dfrac{b\cdot 0}{b-a}+\dfrac{a}{1}[/tex]

[tex]f(a)=0+a[/tex]

[tex]f(a)=a[/tex]

Substituting [tex]x=b[/tex], we get

[tex]f(b)=\dfrac{b\cdot(b-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (b-b)}{a-b}[/tex]

[tex]f(b)=\dfrac{b}{1}+\dfrac{a\cdot 0}{a-b}[/tex]

[tex]f(b)=b+0[/tex]

[tex]f(b)=b[/tex]

Substituting [tex]x=a+b[/tex], we get

[tex]f(a+b)=\dfrac{b\cdot(a+b-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a+b-b)}{a-b}[/tex]

[tex]f(a+b)=\dfrac{b\cdot (b)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a)}{-(b-a)}[/tex]

[tex]f(a+b)=\dfrac{b^2}{b-a}-\dfrac{a^2}{b-a}[/tex]

[tex]f(a+b)=\dfrac{b^2-a^2}{b-a}[/tex]

Using the algebraic formula, we get

[tex]f(a+b)=\dfrac{(b-a)(b+a)}{b-a}[/tex]          [tex][\because b^2-a^2=(b-a)(b+a)][/tex]

[tex]f(a+b)=b+a[/tex]

[tex]f(a+b)=a+b[/tex]               [Commutative property of addition]

Now,

[tex]LHS=f(a)+f(b)[/tex]

[tex]LHS=a+b[/tex]

[tex]LHS=f(a+b)[/tex]

[tex]LHS=RHS[/tex]

Hence proved.

Determine the distance between points (x1, y1) and point (x2, y2), and assign the result to point Distance. The calculation is:

Answers

Given:

The two points are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex].

To find:

The distance between given points.

Solution:

Plot the two points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] randomly randomly on a coordinate plane, then form a right angle triangle as shown in the below figure.

Now, the hypotenuse is the distance between the two points.

[tex]\text{Perpendicular}=y_2-y_1[/tex]

[tex]\text{Base}=x_2-x_1[/tex]

Using Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]\text{Hypotenuse}^2=\text{Base}^2+\text{Perpendicular}^2[/tex]

[tex]d^2=(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2[/tex]

Taking square root on both sides, we get

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]        [Distance is always positive]

Therefore, the distance between the two points is [tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]. It is also known as distance formula.

Simplify the radical completely.

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

But basically, one by one you try moving the terms out of the radical.

75 is also 25 * 3 and since 25 has a perfect square root of 5 that goes out and 3 stays inside the radical.

x^3 is also x^2 * x and since x^2 has a perfect square root which is just x that goes outside while the remaining x stays inside.

y^9 is also y^8 * y and since we move variables out the radical in twos y^ goes outside the radical and y stays inside alone.

Finally, z is just z it can't be taken out so it stays inside the radical.

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the area of a triangle is the following,

[tex]A=\frac{b*h}{2}[/tex]

Where (b) and (h) are the base and height of the triangle. In this situation, one can see that the base (CB) equals (8) units. One can attain this number by counting the boxes between point (C) and point (B). The height is (3). This number is the distance from the point (A) to the side (CB). Substitute these values into the formula and solve for the area.

[tex]A=\frac{b*h}{2}[/tex]

Substitute,

[tex]A=\frac{8*3}{2}[/tex]

Simplify,

[tex]A=\frac{8*3}{2}\\\\A=\frac{24}{2}\\\\A=12[/tex]

[tex]Area = 2(27 + 31\frac{1}{2} + 10\frac{1}{2})[/tex]

What is angle of elevation?

We are told that she dived into the pool that was 8 ft deep.

She touches the bottom with her hands 6 ft horizontally.

Thus, a triangle is formed here with 8 being the opposite side of the angle of elevation and 6 being the adjacent side of the triangle.

Using trigonometric ratios, we can say that;

θ = tan⁻¹(8/6)

θ = 53.1°

the height of a tower is 15m more than tiwce the height of a building find the height of the building if tower is 255m tall​

Answers

Answer: 120m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the building be represented by x.

Since the height of a tower is 15m more than tiwce the height of a building, the height of the tower will be:

= (2 × x) + 15

= 2x + 15

Since the tower is 255m tall, therefore,

2x + 15 = 255

2x = 255 - 15

2x = 240

x = 240/2

x = 120

The height of the building is 120m

In January 2013, a country's first-class mail rates increased to 52 cents for the first ounce, and 23 cents for each additional ounce. If Sabrina spent
$1742 for a total of 48 stamps of these two denominations, how many stamps of each denomination did she buy?
She bought
of the 52 cent stamps and
of the 23 cent stamps.

Answers

Answer:

She bought

22 of the 52 cent stamps and

26 of the 23 cent stamps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Total stamp increase = 48

Let number of 52 cent stamp = x

Number of 23 cent stamp = 48 - x

The cost equation :

0.52*x + 0.23*(48-x) = 17.42

0.52x + 11.04 - 0.23x = 17.42

0.52x - 0.23x = 17.42 - 11.04

0.29x = 6.38

x = 6.38 / 0.29

x = 22

Hence,

She bought 22 ; 52-cent stamps

And (48 - 22) = 26, 23-cent stamps
