A reciprocal is the number that is in front of a variable. If it is just the plain variable, it's reciprocal is 1. (Ex. 10x has a reciprocal of 10. 7y has a reciprocal of 7. Sorry if I didn't understand your question, are you looking for a vocabulary word?

Consider the two expressions 4b(b+1) and (2b+7)(2b-8). Compare their values if b=-3, b=-2, and if b=10. Is it true that for an v
noname [10]

Answer:

If b=-3 then the first expression is equal to 24 and the second expression is equal to -14.

If b=-2 then the first expression is equal to 8 and the second expression is equal to -36.

If b=10 then the first expression is equal to 440 and the second expression is equal to 324.

Yes, it is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

b=-3:

4b(b+1)=4(-3)(-3+1)=-12(-2)=24

(2b+7)(2b-8)=(2(-3)+7)(2(-3)-8)=(-6+7)(-6-8)=1(-14)=-14

b=-2:

4b(b+1)=4(-2)(-2+1)=-8(-1)=8

(2b+7)(2b-8)=(2(-2)+7)(2(-2)-8)=(-4+7)(-4-8)=3(-12)=-36

b=10:

4b(b+1)=4(10)(10+1)=40(11)=440

(2b+7)(2b-8)=(2(10)+7)(2(10)-8)=(20+7)(20-8)=27(12)=324

The length of a model car is 1/20 of the length of the actual car. If the model. is 8.7 inch long, how long is the actual car? E
madam [21]
This means that if the model is 1 in lengh then th ereal car is 20 times of that or 20 in legnth

so to find the answer, just multiply model by 20
8.7 =model
real=8.7 times 20=174
real car is 174 inches

12 inches=1 foot
conversion factor
1 ft/12in=1=convesion

so
174 times 1/12=14 and 6/12

the answer is 14 feet and 6 inches or 14.5 feet

Confirm that f and g are inverses by showing that f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x.
charle [14.2K]

ANSWER

See below

EXPLANATION

Given

f(x) =  \frac{ {x}- 9 }{x + 5}

and

g(x) =   \frac{ - 5x - 9}{x - 1}

(f \circ \: g)(x)=  \frac{ (\frac{ - 5x - 9}{x - 1})- 9 }{(\frac{ - 5x - 9}{x - 1} )+ 5}

(f \circ \: g)(x)=  \frac{ \frac{ - 5x - 9 - 9(x - 1)}{x - 1}}{\frac{ - 5x - 9 + 5(x - 1)}{x - 1} }

Expand:

(f \circ \: g)(x)=  \frac{ \frac{ - 5x - 9 - 9x  + 9}{x - 1}}{\frac{ - 5x - 9 + 5x - 5}{x - 1} }

(f \circ \: g)(x)=  \frac{ \frac{ - 5x - 9x  + 9 - 9}{x - 1}}{\frac{ - 5x + 5x - 5 - 9}{x - 1} }

(f \circ \: g)(x)=  \frac{ \frac{ - 14x }{x - 1}}{\frac{ -14}{x - 1} }

Since the denominators are the same, they will cancel out,

(f \circ \: g)(x)= \frac{ - 14x}{ - 14}  = x
