Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
5 less than a number is equivalent to 1 more than three times the number
number = x
x - 5 = 3x + 1
now im going to get the numbers and variable on different sides
x - 5 + 5 = x
3x + 1 - 3x = 1
x + 3x = 4x
1 - 5 = -4
4x = -4
lastly im going to divide each side by 4
4x / 4 = x
-4 / 4 = -1
x = -1
Answer:
- -32x² +8x -8
- See below about the process
Step-by-step explanation:
The simplified expression is ...
3x(x -12x) +3x² -2(x -2)²
= 3x(-11x) +3x² -2(x² -4x +4) . . . . . simplify contents of parentheses
= -33x² +3x² -2x² +8x -8 . . . . . . . .eliminate parentheses
= (-33 +3 -2)x² +8x -8 . . . . . . . . . . group the coefficients of like terms
= -32x² +8x -8
Same thing as before!
First, we can get rid of d(x) simply by looking at it because we can tell it's linear (it's a straight line). If we look at the table, we can see a(x) is also linear because it has a steady rate of growth. b(x) and c(x) both represent exponential growth. The curved shape of b(x) shows us this is exponential growth, and the exponent in c(x) tells us it's also exponential.
(−2)³ = (-2)(-2)(-2)
Note that:
two negative numbers multiplied together results in a positive
one negative and one positive number multiplied results in a negative
Multiply:
(-2)(-2) = 4
4(-2) = -8
-8 is your answer
hope this helps
Answer:
- Minimum 100 bicycles
- Minimum cost is 13500
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given function:</u>
- C(x) = 3x^2- 600x + 43500
a.
Minimum cost is obtained at vertex.
Vertex is determined by formula x = -b/2a, in standard form of
f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c
<u>Vertex of the given function is:</u>
b.
<u>Cost at vertex is:</u>
- C(100) = 3*100^2 - 600*100 + 43500 = 13500
