How are functions related to solving linear equations

1 answer:

8 0

A linear function is a function with the form f(x) = ax' + b. It looks like a regular linear equation, but instead of using y, the linear function notation is f(x). To solve a linear function, you would be given the value of f(x) and be asked to find x.

-3(y+2)^2 - 5 + 6y
= -3(y^2 + 4y + 4) - 5 + 6y
= -3y^2 - 12y - 12 - 5 + 6y
= -y^2 - 6y - 17

Answer

A city police force is made up of 24% females. If there are 72 females on the force, how many males are on the force?

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

228 males

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of males.

This means x + 72 is the total number of people.

So $\frac{72}{x+72}$ is the fraction of females in the force.
