Luke started a weight-loss program.

The first week, he lost X pounds.

the second week he lost 3/2 pounds less then 3/2 times the pounds he lost the first week. so, he lost 3/2 x - 3/2

The third week, he lost 1 more pound than 3/4 of the pounds he lost the first week. so, he lost 3/4 x + 1

So, over 3 weeks he lost :

x + (3/2 x - 3/2) + (3/4 x + 1) = 13/4 x - 1/2

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

Liam started the program when Luke did.

The first week, he lost 1 pound less than 3/2 times the pounds luke lost the first week. so, he lost (3/2 x - 1)

The second week, he lost 4 pounds less than 5/2 times the pounds luke lost the first week. so ,he lost (5/2 x - 4)

The third week, he lost 1/2 more than 5/4 times the pounds luke lost the first week. so, he lost, ( 5/4 x + 1/2)

The expression for Liam's weight loss over the three weeks is =

= (3/2 x - 1) + (5/2 x - 4) + ( 5/4 x + 1/2) = 21/4 x - 9/2

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

Assuming they both lost the same number of pounds over the three weeks

So, equating the number of pounds lost by each one of them

so,

13/4 x - 1/2 = 21/4 x - 9/2

solve for x

13/4 x - 21/4 x = -9/2 + 1/2

-2x = -4

divide both sides by -2

so,

x = -4/-2 = 2

so,

The number of pounds luke lost in the fist week is 2 pounds

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

4. The number of pounds luke and liam each lost over the three weeks is

= 13/4 * 2 - 1/2 = 6 pounds

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 16x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :      f(x) = 8x² + 3x

                f(x +h) =  8(x + h)² + 3( x + h)

                f(x + h) = 8( x² + 2xh + h²) + 3( x + h)

                f (x + h) = 8x² + 16xh + 8h² + 3x + 3h

Step 2 f(x+h) - f(x) =  8x² + 16xh + 8h² + 3x + 3h - ( 8x² + 3x)

                              = 8x² + 16xh + 8h² + 3x + 3h - 8x² -3x

                              = 16xh + 8h² + 3 h

Step 3 f(x + h) - f(x)/ h = h(16x + 8h + 3) /h

                                    = 16x + 8h + 3

Step 4 lim  f(x + h) - f(x)/ h = lim 16x + 8h + 3  = lim 16x + 8(0) + 3 = 16x + 3

        h ⇒0                           h ⇒0                     h ⇒0

Answer:

<h2>C</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine a function rule, look at the table. Input the x and y value from one column into the function to see if it is correct.

<h3>Function a: y = 10 - 2x</h3>

Input values

22 = 10 - 2(6)

22 = 10 - 12

22 ≠ -2 ❌

As we can see, function a gives us a false statement, so a is incorrect.

<h3>Function b: y = 2 - 10x</h3>

Input values

22 = 2 - 10(6)

22 = 2 - 60

22 ≠ -58 ❌

We once again get a false answer, so b is also not correct.

<h3>Function c: y = 10 + 2x</h3>

Input values

22 = 10 + 2(6)

22 = 22 ✔

Finally, we get a true statement, so option c is correct.

<h3>Function d: y = 2 + 10x</h3>

Just to check that option c is correct, we need to prove that d is incorrect.

Input values

22 = 2 + 60

22 ≠ 62 ❌

This is also wrong, so that proves that c is correct.

I'm always happy to help :)
