Answer:

8(5x - 9) = 40 x   - 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a, b, and c be any real number. Then

a(b + c) = ab + bc

This is called the distributive property.

The given expression is

8(5x - 9)

Or

8(5x +  - 9)

Let a=8, b=5x and c=-9

We apply the distributive property to obtain:

8(5x - 9) = 8  \times 5 x  + 8 \times  - 9

We simplify to get:

8(5x - 9) = 40 x   - 72

Answer:

40x-72

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

8(5x-9)

Applying the distributive property

taking the outer term and multiplying it by each term inside the parenthesis

so

8(5x-9)=8*5x-8*9

40x-72

What is the unit rate of 360 customers in 30 days
ad-work [718]
To find a unit rate, we need to divide the unit (days) by itself, and the x per y (customers) by the unit. In this case, we will be dividing 360 (number of customers) by 30 (days). When we do this, we can see that there are 12 customers per day.

What is the interval notation for the compound inequality? x is less than or equal to -4 or x is greater than or equal to 5?
Tems11 [23]

x is less than or equal to -4 or x is greater than or equal to 5

x <= -4 or x>= 5

There is no intersection of both inequalities when we graph it in number line So, we write the interval notation separately for each inequality

for x<=-4 , x starts at -4  and goes to -infinity because we have less than symbol. Also we have = sign so we use square brackets

Interval notation is (-∞ , -4]

for x>= 5 , x starts at 5  and goes to infinity because we have greater than symbol. Also we have = sign so we use square bracket at 5

Interval notation is [5 , ∞)

Now combine both notation by a 'U' symbol Union

(-∞ , -4] U [5 , ∞)

Let f be the function given by f(x)=3xsinx. What is the average value of f on the closed interval 1≤x≤7 ?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

-2.92178

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x)=3x\ sin x

The average,A is calculated using the formula;

A=\frac{1}{b-a}\int\limits^a_b F(x)\, dx \\\\A=\frac{1}{7-1}\int\limits^7_1 3x \ Sin \ x\, dx \\\\\\=\frac{3}{6}\int\limits^7_1 x \ Sin \ x\, dx \\\\\#Integration\  by\  parts, u=x, v \prime=sin(x)\\=0.5[-xcos(x)-\int-cos(x)dx]\limits^7_1\\\\=0.5[-xcos(x)-(-sin(x))]\limits^7_1\\\\=0.5[-xcos(x)+sin(x)]\limits^7_1\\\\=0.5[-6.82595--0.98240]\\\\=-2.92178

Hence, the average of the function is -2.92178
