Question

The function ℎ is defined by h(x)=-50/x-b,where b is a constant. What is the value of b if the value of h at x=1/4 is equal to -200?

A) b=−200

B) b=50

C) b=150

D) b=200

Answer 1

The value of b in the function h(x) = -50/x - b is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the value of b in the function h(x) = -50/x - b, we can substitute the given value of h at x = 1/4. The given value is -200, so we have -200 = -50/(1/4) - b. Simplifying this equation, we get -200 = -200 - b. Solving for b, we find that b = 0.
