ANSWER
1. k=13
2. x=-10
EXPLANATION
The given function is
To find f(x+5), plug in (x+5) wherever you see x.
This implies that:
Expand:
Simplify to obtain
We now compare with,
This implies that:
To find the smallest zero of f(x+5), we equate the function to zero and solve for x.
The smallest zero is -10.
Answer:
8 rows and 3 extra
Step-by-step explanation:
40/5=8
43-40=3
Take -5x + y =13 and rearrange for y:
y=13+5x
Substitute into other equation for y:
-3x+3(13+5x)=3
Multiply out brackets:
-3x+39+15x=3
Simplify:
12x+39=3
Rearrange for x:
12x=-36
x=-3
Substitute back into y=13+5x:
y=13+5(-3)
y=13-15
y=-2
Answer:
The third number is 180.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the third number be 9x where x is an integer.
48 = 2*2*2*2*3
264 = 2*2*2*3*11
9x = 3*3*x
2*2*2*2*3*3*11*x = 7920y where y is an integer
1584x = 7920y
so x = 7920y / 1584= 5y.
Now the GCD is 12 so x must have 4 as one of its factors.
Also x is a multiple of 5 so it could be 20 then y would be 4.
If x = 20 then the third number is 9*20 = 180.
This checks out OK.
