Given f (x) = -4x + 4, solve for x when f (x) = 0

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • f(x) = -4x + 4
  • f(x) = 0

We are asked to solve for x when the function is equal to zero.

<u>We should have</u>: 0 = -4x + 4

<u>Solve</u>

1. Subtract 4 from both sides

0 - 4 = -4x + 4 - 4

-4 = -4x

2. Divide both sides by -4

-4 ÷ -4 = -4x ÷ 4

1 = x

Fiona and Camilla took a load of peaches to the farmer’s market. During the first hour, they sold ½ of the peaches plus ½ of a p
Lana71 [14]
<em>They took 101 peaches to market.</em>

<u>Check:</u>

In the 1st hour, they sold (101/2 + 1/2) = 102/2 = 51.  They had 50 left.

In the 2nd hour, they sold (50/3 + 1/3)=51/3=17.  They had (50-17)=33 left.

In the 3rd hour, they sold (33/4 + 3/4) = 36/4 = 9.  They had (33-9) = 24 left.

In the final hour, they sold (24/5 + 1/5) = 25/5 = 5.  They had (24-5) = 19 left.  yay!

Fiona and Camilla took their 19 remaining peaches and went home.  Sharing with
their parents and their brother Rowlf, each person had 3.8 peaches for dinner.
There was a lot of activity in the bathroom overnight.

================================================

The key to solving this one is to work it backwards.

-- They had 19 peaches left at the end of the day.

-- During the final hour, the 1/5 of a peach that they sold left them with 19,
so they had 19-1/5 before they sold the 1/5 of a peach.
The 19-1/5 was 4/5 of what they had at the beginning of the final hour.
So, at the beginning of the final hour, they had (5/4)x(19.2) = 24 .

-- During the 3rd hour, the 3/4 of a peach that they sold left them with 24,
so they had 24-3/4 before they sold the 3/4 of a peach.
The 24-3/4 was 3/4 of what they had at the beginning of that hour.
So, at the beginning of the 3rd hour, they had (4/3)x(24.75) = 33 .

Do the same for the 2nd hour.

Then do the same for the 1st hour.

And you'll work your way back up to 101 peaches.

How can undefinable terms be used to create precise mathematical definitions?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

This is done by stating descriptions of these terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Undefinable terms are terms with no formal definitions. Formal definitions are obtained when specific words are used to define a term. In mathematics, specifically, Geometry words like line, point, and plane have no definite definition, So descriptions are used to identify them.

For example, in describing a point, we note that a point has no dimensions, it is usually denoted with a capital letter, and it indicates a position. Also in a coordinate plane, it is denoted with descriptions such as  (u,v). Corresponding descriptions are given of other undefinable terms.

A ball is thrown upward from ground level. Its height h, in feet, above the ground after t seconds is h-48t -16t^2.
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

36 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a ball is thrown upward from ground level. Its height h, in feet, above the ground after t seconds is h(t)=-48t -16t^2. We are asked to find the maximum height of the ball.

We can see that our given equation is a downward opening parabola, so its maximum height will be the vertex of the parabola.

To find the maximum height of the ball, we need to find y-coordinate of vertex of parabola.

Let us find x-coordinate of parabola using formula x=-\frac{b}{2a}.

x=-\frac{-48}{2(-16)}

x=-\frac{48}{32}

x=-\frac{3}{2}

So, the x-coordinate of the parabola is -\frac{3}{2}. Now, we will substitute x=-\frac{3}{2} in our given equation to find y-coordinate of parabola.

h(t)=-48t -16t^2

h(-\frac{3}{2})=-48(-\frac{3}{2})-16(-\frac{3}{2})^2

h(-\frac{3}{2})=-24(-3)-16(\frac{9}{4})

h(-\frac{3}{2})=72-4*9

h(-\frac{3}{2})=72-36

h(-\frac{3}{2})=36

Therefore, the maximum height of the ball is 36 feet.
