The answer is h(2k - 5) = -4 - 2k

Step-by-step explanation:

In a function f(x) = y, we can find the value of y for any given value of x

Examples:

If f(x) = 2x - 3, and we need to find f(3), that means substitute x by 3 in f(x), so f(3) = 2(3) - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3, that means f(x) = 3 at x = 3
If f(x) = 8 - 5x, and we need to find f(a - 2), substitute x by (a - 2) in f(x), so f(a - 2) = 8 - 5(a - 2) = 8 - 5a + 10 = 18 - 5a, that means f(a - 2) = 18 - 5a at x = a - 2

∵ h(x) = -9 - x

- We need to find h(2k - 5), that means substitute x by 2k - 5

∵ x = 2k - 5

∴ h(2k - 5) = -9 - (2k - 5)

- Simplify the right hand side

∴ h(2k - 5) = -9 - 2k - (-5)

- Remember (-)(-) = (+)

∴ h(2k - 5) = -9 - 2k + 5

- Add the like terms in the right hand side

∴ h(2k - 5) = (-9 + 5) - 2k

∴ h(2k - 5) = -4 - 2k

The answer is h(2k - 5) = -4 - 2k

When adding or subtracting with scientific notation,why is it important to have the same power of 10?

sladkih [1.3K]

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Because we perform something like common factor, so this guarantee that corresponding digits have regarding coefficients have the same place value. Remember that a number written in scientific notation is given by the product of a number between 1 and 10 and another number that is power of 10. For example, let's write two examples about this:

Addition:

$a=2\times 10^3 \\ \\ b=4\times 10^3 \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ a+b=2\times 10^3+4\times 10^3 \\ \\ =(2+4)\times 10^3 \\ \\ =5\times 10^3$

Addition:

$a=2\times 10^3 \\ \\ b=4\times 10^3 \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ a+b=2\times 10^3+4\times 10^3 \\ \\ =(2+4)\times 10^3 \\ \\ =6\times 10^3$

Subtraction:

$a=7\times 10^5 \\ \\ b=2\times 10^5 \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ a-b=7\times 10^5-2\times 10^5 \\ \\ =(7-2)\times 10^5 \\ \\ =5\times 10^5$

Un auto viaja con una velocidad promedio de 84 kilómetros por hora. ¿En cuánto tiempo viaja 462 kilómetros?

timama [110]

The car takes the time 5.5 hours i.e.5 hours and 30 minutes to travel 462 kilometres when the car travels at average speed of 84 kilometres per hour

Given the average speed of the car is 84 kilometres per hour and the distance to be travelled is 462 kilometres and asked to find the time taken for the journey of 462 kilometres

To calculate the time taken for the journey we use the below-mentioned formula

$speed=\frac{distance}{Time taken}$
