Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x-4 represents a function f(x) in terms of independent variable x.

Now when we say f(3) , we are replacing x by 3 in the given equation for f(x).

so f(3) means the value of f(x) when x is 3 .

since f(x) is x-4 so we say that f(3) means the value of (x-4) when x is 3

correct option is A

6. A factory has two types of machines.

Pie

210 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to figure out how many pieces a single machine can cut in a minute, so you need to divide 105 by 3, which gets you 35 pieces per minute.

Next, since we know there are 6 machines, and one machine canncut 35 pieces per minute, we can the figure out how many pieces all 6 cutting machines can cut in 1 minute. You would do this by making an equation such as this:

$35 \times 6 = x$

The x represents the total number of pieces cut by all 6 machines in one minute.

Next, since we now have an equation, we can go ahead and solve it. We would multiply 35 by 6, which would get us 210 pieces per minute that can be cut by all six machines

1 + tanx / 1 + cotx =2

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

x = tan^(-1)((i sqrt(3))/2 + 1/2) + π n_1 for n_1 element Z

or x = tan^(-1)(-(i sqrt(3))/2 + 1/2) + π n_2 for n_2 element Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

1 + cot(x) + tan(x) = 2

Multiply both sides of 1 + cot(x) + tan(x) = 2 by tan(x):

1 + tan(x) + tan^2(x) = 2 tan(x)

Subtract 2 tan(x) from both sides:

1 - tan(x) + tan^2(x) = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides:

tan^2(x) - tan(x) = -1

Add 1/4 to both sides:

1/4 - tan(x) + tan^2(x) = -3/4

Write the left hand side as a square:

(tan(x) - 1/2)^2 = -3/4

Take the square root of both sides:

tan(x) - 1/2 = (i sqrt(3))/2 or tan(x) - 1/2 = -(i sqrt(3))/2

Add 1/2 to both sides:

tan(x) = 1/2 + (i sqrt(3))/2 or tan(x) - 1/2 = -(i sqrt(3))/2

Take the inverse tangent of both sides:

x = tan^(-1)((i sqrt(3))/2 + 1/2) + π n_1 for n_1 element Z

or tan(x) - 1/2 = -(i sqrt(3))/2

Add 1/2 to both sides:

x = tan^(-1)((i sqrt(3))/2 + 1/2) + π n_1 for n_1 element Z

or tan(x) = 1/2 - (i sqrt(3))/2

Take the inverse tangent of both sides:

Answer: x = tan^(-1)((i sqrt(3))/2 + 1/2) + π n_1 for n_1 element Z

or x = tan^(-1)(-(i sqrt(3))/2 + 1/2) + π n_2 for n_2 element Z

Which of the following companies offers the greatest total employment compensation? Company A Company B Company C Company D Gros

san4es73 [151]

we know that

To find the company with the greatest total employee compensation package, adds each company's gross pay, paid insurance, and paid time off, then subtract the job expenses on the sum

Find the total employee compensation package for each company

Step $1$

Find the total employee compensation package for company A

$total\ employee\ compensation=gross\ pay\ +\ paid\ insurance\ +\ paid\ time\ -\ job\ expenses$

$total\ employee\ compensation=37,600+2,800+3,100-1,200\\ total\ employee\ compensation=42,300\ dollars$

Step $2$

Find the total employee compensation package for company B

$total\ employee\ compensation=gross\ pay\ +\ paid\ insurance\ +\ paid\ time\ -\ job\ expenses$

$total\ employee\ compensation=36,800+2,400+3,600-600\\ total\ employee\ compensation=42,200\ dollars$

Step $3$

Find the total employee compensation package for company C

$total\ employee\ compensation=gross\ pay\ +\ paid\ insurance\ +\ paid\ time\ -\ job\ expenses$

$total\ employee\ compensation=38,100+2,100+2,900-300\\ total\ employee\ compensation=42,800\ dollars$

Step $4$

Find the total employee compensation package for company D

$total\ employee\ compensation=gross\ pay\ +\ paid\ insurance\ +\ paid\ time\ -\ job\ expenses$

$total\ employee\ compensation=39,000+1,800+2,500-800\\ total\ employee\ compensation=42,500\ dollars$

therefore

the answer is

the company with the greatest total employee compensation package is the company C
