Answer: Coefficient

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving for an unknown variable that has a number preceding it, you will divide both sides of the equation by this number, which is known as the coefficient.

A coefficient is a number preceding any variable in a function for example, given the function 4x, the variable is 'x' and the number preceding it is 4. This number preceding the variable is what we call 'coefficient' of the variable 'x'

Lawrence sells 40% of the apples on his cart, and are left with 420 apples. How many apples had Lawrence started with?
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

700 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = Total number of apples in the cart

Percentage of apples sold = 40%

Number of apples sold = Percentage of apples sold * Total number of apples in the cart

= 40% * x

= 0.4 * x

= 0.4x

Number of apples left in the cart = 420

Total number of apples in the cart = Number of apples sold + Number of apples left in the cart

x = 0.4x + 420

x - 0.4x = 420

0.6x = 420

x = 420/0.6

x = 700

x = Total number of apples in the cart = 700

Lawrence started with 700 apples

Consider the function y = acos(bx), where a > 0 and b > 0. Which change affects the locations of the x-intercepts of the g
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Decrease b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The function in the question is given by the equation, y = a·cos(b·x)

Where;

a > 0 and b > 0

The location of the x-intercept is given by the values of x when y = 0 which are obtained as follows;

When y = 0, y = a·cos(b·x) = 0

Therefore;

cos(b·x) = 0/a = 0

∴ b·x = cos⁻¹(0) = π/2, 3·π/2, (4·n×π + π)/2

Therefore, as b decreases, x increases.

Find the width of the rectangle shown with an area of 18 mm2 and a length of 6 mm.
skad [1K]
Given:
Area = 18
Length = 8
Width = ?

Area = length * width
(Substitute the values)
18 = 6 * width
Width = 18 / 6
Width = 3mm
Therefore, width of the rectangle is 3mm

To check if the answer is correct
Area = length * width
Area = 6 * 3
Area = 18 mm2

(PHOTO) find the measure angle of (3x-14) degrees in the triangle.
Lelu [443]
You do this by creating an equation with the expressions you've been given, and then solving:
3x - 14 + x + 90 = 180
4x - 14 + 90 = 180
- 90
4x - 14 = 90
+ 14
4x = 104
÷ 4
x = 26
Then you substitute 26 into (3x - 14):
3(× 26) - 14 = 78 - 14 = 64
So your answer is 64°
