Let the number of comic books be X
if we add 14 to X = 24
so we will find the value of X to get half initial number of comic books William had.
14+X=24
X=24-14
X=10
so the total innitial number of comic books William had is 10+10=20 books.
The racer take 4 hours (between 8:00 to 12:00) to race 3/4 of 6 miles
3/4 of 6 miles = 18/4 = 4.5 miles
4 hours ⇒ 4.5 miles
1 hour ⇒ 4.5 ÷ 4 = 1.125 miles
The time taken to complete 6 miles = 6 ÷ 1.125 = 16/3 hours = 5.3 hours
For each increment in x, the output is multiplied by 2. The function could be written the way a geometric sequence can be written:
... f(x) = 5·2^(x-1)
Or, it could be simplified to ...
... f(x) = (5/2)·2^x
The first 5 terms will be
... 5, 10, 20, 40, 80
Answer:
When we have a point (x, y) and we do a reflection over a given line, we know that the new point (x', y') will be at the same distance from the line as our initial point (x,y).
Now, in this case, we have a reflection over the line y = -1. (this line is parallel to the x-axis)
But in the image, we can see that the reflected triangle is drawn in the other side of the y-axis, this means that the reflection was made in a line parallel to the y-axis.
Then the mistake that Oscar did is that he reflected over the wrong line, seems that he reflected the triangle over the line x = -1 instead of the line y = -1.
