Can you please explain how to work this out!! 1 solutions
Answer 226127 by jim_thompson5910(28598) on 2010-06-21 01:12:07 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!The domain is the set of all values that we can plug in for 'x' which will give us some number output for f(x)
Since you CANNOT divide by zero, this means that we must look for values that make the denominator  equal to zero. So just set it equal to zero and solve.
 Set the denominator equal to zero.
 Add 4 to both sides.
 Take the square root of both sides. Don't forget about the plus/minus.
 or  Break up the plus/minus.
 or  Take the square root of 4 to get 2.
So when  or  , the denominator  is equal to zero.
To avoid dividing by zero, we then make the restriction that  or
So the domain of  is the set of all real numbers but  or
In interval notation, we would write that as:
Basically, we're taking the number line and picking out the numbers -2 and 2.

Coordinate-system/316094: f(x)=-8-2 find the slope and y intercept. I always start these problems wrong, I just need a shove in the right direction. PLease help 1 solutions
Answer 226115 by jim_thompson5910(28598) on 2010-06-21 00:17:59 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!I'm assuming that you meant to write  . This can be written as  since 'y' and 'f(x)' are really one in the same in this case.
Notice how  is in slope-intercept form  where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
So this shows us that the slope is  and the y-intercept is  . The y-intercept is the point (-2,0).

"As a basketball coach, how many possible ways can you position your players if you have a roster of ten and five different positions?"
1 solutions
Answer 226113 by jim_thompson5910(28598) on 2010-06-21 00:13:01 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!You have ten selections and five slots to place them. Let's assume that order matters. So for the first position, you have ten choices. For the second, you have 9 choices (since that first player can't play two positions). The third will have 8 choices, the 4th will have 7 choices, and the fifth position will have 6 choices.
Now just multiply all these choices out to get: 10*9*8*7*6 = 30240
So there are 30240 different lineups.
Another formal way is to use the permutation formula, but we basically follow the same logic. If we were to use the permutation formula !}) , we'll plug in n=10 and r=5. After a bit of work, you'll end up with 10*9*8*7*6 = 30240 which is the same answer.

a) write the system of equations corresponding to this matrix. us x1 x2 x3 x4 as variables.
My answer: x1+2x2+4x3 = 1; x2-x3+2x4 = 2; x3+3x4 = 0; and x4= -2
b) determine whether the system is consistent or inconsistent. if consistent, give the solution. My answer:
from the equations above:
we know x4 = -2 so plug into
x3+3(-2)=0 solve for x3
x3-6=0
+6=0+6
x3=6
we know x4=-2 and x3=6 plug into
x2-(6)+2(-2)=2
x2-10=2+10
x2-10+10=12
x2=12
we know x4=-2; x3=6; x2=12 plug into

Answer 226067 by jim_thompson5910(28598) on 2010-06-20 19:32:12 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Looking at  we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form  where the slope is  and the y-intercept is  note:  really looks like
Since  this tells us that the y-intercept is ) .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis
So we have one point
Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
Also, because the slope is  , this means:
which shows us that the rise is 1 and the run is 3. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 1 and over 3
So starting at ) , go up 1 unit
and to the right 3 units to get to the next point
Now draw a line through these points to graph
 So this is the graph of  through the points ) and

Trigonometry-basics/316023: what is the reference angle for theta= 5pi/3?

360-300 = 60degrees or pi/3 radians as the answer.
