Answer:

when they have the same variable and their exponent if applicable isn't different.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example if you have a value like 3x and 4x they are like terms that can be combined;7x. If you have say 5x and 6y they are not like terms.

The second option would be your answer.

First of all,
The total weight of the six dogs are:
71+34+15+23+18+56=217 pounds
Then, we know that the average weight of the seven dogs are 40 pounds, so the total weights of the seven dogs are:
40×7=280 pounds.
Lastly, we know that the six dogs weights are 217 pounds and the total weight of the seven dogs are 280 dogs, so the seventh weight of the dog is:
280-217=63 pounds. As a result, the seventh weight of the dogs at the vet is 63 pounds. Hope it help!

Which equation is the inverse of 5 y + 4 = (x + 3) squared + one-half?

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The correct option is the last option d.) y = negative 3 plus-or-minus StartRoot 5 x + seven-halves EndRoot

Step-by-step explanation:

the given equation is $5y + 4 =(x+3)^{2} + \frac{1}{2}$

Therefore we can write $5y\hspace{0.1cm} = (x+3)^{2} + \frac{1}{2} - 4 \hspace{0.3cm} \Rightarrow \hspace{0.2cm} 5y = (x+3)^{2} - \frac{7}{2} \hspace{0.3cm} \Rightarrow \hspace{0.3cm} y = \frac{(x+3)^{2}}{5} - \frac{7}{10}$

To find the inverse of the above function let us replace x with y and y with x.

Therefore we get

$x = \frac{(y+3)^{2}}{5} - \frac{7}{10}$

Now we write the above equation with only y on the Left hand side and we will obtain the inverse of the given function

$y = \pm \sqrt{5 (x + \frac{7}{10} )} \hspace{0.1cm} - \hspace{0.1cm} 3 \hspace{0.1cm} \Rightarrow\hspace{0.1cm} y = \pm \sqrt{5x + \frac{7}{2} } - \hspace{0.1cm} 3 \hspace{0.1cm}$

Therefore the correct option is the last option d.) y = negative 3 plus-or-minus StartRoot 5 x + seven-halves EndRoot , $y = \pm \sqrt{5x + \frac{7}{2} } - \hspace{0.1cm} 3 \hspace{0.1cm}$
