C. -5y -4 = -(x+3)^2 -1/2
Hope I am right.
These are two separate problems: in the first we will have to substitute in a new value for x into the original equation and in the second we will manipulate the preexisting equation for f(x).
To begin, we will sub in f(x/3). To do this, we will substitute each variable x in the equation (in this case there is only one) with x/3, and then simplify the resulting equation.
f(x) = 6x - 18
f(x/3) = 6(x/3) - 18
To simplify, we should distribute the 6 on the right side of the equation.
f(x/3) = 6x/3 - 18
Now, we can divide the first term on the right side to finalize our simplification.
f(x/3) = 2x -18
Secondly, we are asked to find f(x)/3. To do this, we will take our original value for f(x), and then simplify divide that entire function by 3.
f(x) = 6x - 18
f(x)/3 = (6x-18)/3
This means that we must divide each term of the binomial by 3, so we are really computing
f(x)/3 = 6x/3 - 18/3
We can simplify by dividing both of the terms.
f(x)/3 = 2x - 6
Therefore, your answer is that f(x/3) = 2x - 18, but f(x)/3 = 2x - 6. It is important to recognize that these are two similar, yet different, answers.
Hope this helps!
Just a shot in the dark: 9*30 and 9*8?
Answer: Should be -5
Step-by-step explanation:
All you do is 1x+2x+5x=8x then you turn 4 s into pints. 1 gallon equals 4 pints 4*4=16 pints. 8x=16 x=2. Then you multiply everything by 2
1*2=2
2*2=4
2*5=10
