Answer:

  • x=12
  • x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Eliminate parentheses:

  0.1x +18.8 = -4 +2x

  22.8 = 1.9x . . . . . . . . . add 4 - 0.1x

  12 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 1.9

__

2) Eliminate parentheses:

  -16 +4x = 0.8x +12.8

  3.2x = 28.8 . . . . . . . . add 16 - 0.8x

  x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 3.2

_____

<em>Comments on the solutions</em>

The expression we add in each case eliminates the constant on one side of the equation and the variable term on the other side. That leaves an equation of the form ...

  variable term = constant

We choose to eliminate the smaller variable term (the one with the coefficient farthest to the left on the number line). Then the constant we eliminate is the on on the other side of the equation. This choice ensures that the remaining variable term has a positive coefficient, tending to reduce errors.

__

You can work these problems by methods that eliminate fractions. Here, the fractions are decimal values, so are not that difficult to deal with. In any event, it is good to be able to work with numbers in any form: fractions, decimals, integers. It can save some steps.

Describe the transformation required to obtain the graph of the given function from the basic trigonometric graph.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Option D is correct .i.e., Vertical translation down 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Function is y = cosec x - 9

Here basic function or parent function is y = cosec x

1. When constant ' a ' is added to to parent function or basic function then the function is translated vertically upward by a units.

2.  When constant ' a ' is subtracted from parent function or basic function then the function is translated vertically downward by a units.

Therefore, Option D is correct .i.e., Vertical translation down 9 units
