Your insight that the function values differ by 5 every time is very important. So your f(x) will contain 5x as a term. You have to find a constant to add or subtract to make sure f(1)=-2.

f(x) = 5x-7 does the job.

The square ABCD has side length 20 cm,

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

AE=22.4

Step-by-step explanation:

BE is 1/2 of BC

BC is 20 cm All sides of a square are equal

BE = 1/2 BC Property of a midpoint.

BE = 10

Now just use Pythagorus

AB^2 + BE^2 = AE^2

AE^2 = 20^2 + 10^2 Perform the sqrs

AE^2 = 400 + 100 Add the terms

AE^2 = 500 Take the square root of both sides

√AE^2 = √500

AE = 22.36

AE ≈ 22.4

The prices of commodities X,Y,Z are respectively x, y, z, rupees per unit. Mr. A purchases 4 units of Z and sells 3 units of X a

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

$(x,y,z)=(1477, 1464, 1437)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the selling of the units positive earning and the purchasing of the units negative earning.

Mr. A purchases 4 units of Z and sells 3 units of X and 5 units of Y
Mr.A earns Rs6000

So, the equation would be

$3x + 5y - 4z = 6000$

Mr. B purchases 3 units of Y and sells 2 units of X and 1 units of Z
Mr B neither lose nor gain meaning he has made 0₹

hence,

$2x - 3y + z = 0$

Mr. C purchases 1 units of X and sells 4 units of Y and 6 units of Z
Mr.C earns 13000₹

therefore,

$- x + 4y + 6z = 13000$

Thus our system of equations is

$\begin{cases}3x + 5y - 4z = 6000\\2x - 3y + z = 0\\ - x + 4y + 6z = 13000\end{cases}$

<u>Solving </u><u>the </u><u>system </u><u>of </u><u>equations</u><u>:</u>

we will consider elimination method to solve the system of equations. To do so ,separate the equation in two parts which yields:

$\begin{cases}3x + 5y - 4z = 6000\\2x - 3y + z = 0\end{cases}\\\begin{cases}2x - 3y + z = 0\\ - x + 4y + 6z = 13000\end{cases}$

Now solve the equation accordingly:

$\implies\begin{cases}11x-7y=6000\\-13x+22y=13000\end{cases}$

Solving the equation for x and y yields:

$\implies\begin{cases}x= \dfrac{223000}{151}\\\\y= \dfrac{221000}{151}\end{cases}$

plug in the value of x and y into 2x - 3y + z = 0 and simplify to get z. hence,

$\implies z= \dfrac{217000}{151}$

Therefore,the prices of commodities X,Y,Z are respectively approximately 1477, 1464, 1437

How would I do this? What would it be?

Igoryamba

Answer: $x=80$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is 360 degrees.

Knowing this, you can write the following equation:

$(x+8)+(2x+12)+(x+20)=360$

Then, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. To do it, you can follow these steps:

1. You need to add the like terms:

$(x+8)+(2x+12)+(x+20)=360\\\\4x+40=360$

2. Now, subtract 40 from both sides of the equation:

$4x+40-(40)=360-(40)\\\\4x=320$

3. Finally, you must divide both sides of the equation by 4. Then:

$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{320}{4}\\\\x=80$
