Compare the two functions below in two complete sentences.

Help

I guess we have the table:

x     f(x)

-4      7

-2      5

0       3

2       1

4      - 1

To find the slope of this, we need to select two different points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) and use the relation:

slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

let´s use the first two:

(-4,7) and (-2, 5)

Slope = (5 - 7)/(-2 - (-4)) = -2/2 = -1

Now, if we want to be sure that this is a linear equation, we should do the same for other two pairs of points, now use the first and the third:

(-4, 7) and (0,3)

S = (3 - 7)/(0 -(-4)) = -4/4 = -1

Now, for the function g(x) we can see a constant line, that is parallel to the x-axis.

This means that the slope of this function is equal to zero.

This means that the slope of g(x) is bigger than the slope of f(x), because 0 > 1 i guess

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
