Answer:

$\huge\boxed{f=g(x)\ \text{for}\ x=-\dfrac{16}{3}=-5\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When does the value of f(x) = (1/2)x equal the value of g(x) =2x+8?

$f(x)=g(x)\iff\dfrac{1}{2}x=2x+8\qquad|\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from bpoth sides}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}x-2x=2x-2x+8\\\\-1\dfrac{1}{2}x=8\qquad|\text{convert the mixed number to the improper fraction}\\\\-\dfrac{2\cdot1+1}{2}x=8\\\\-\dfrac{3}{2}x=8\qquad\text{multiply both sides by}\ -\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\left(-\dfrac{2\!\!\!\!\diagup}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup}\right)\left(-\dfrac{3\!\!\!\!\diagup}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup}x\right)=\left(-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)\cdot8\\\\x=-\dfrac{2\cdot8}{3}\\\\x=-\dfrac{16}{3}$

Mary walks from corner D to corner E to corner F on a city block that measures 264 feet wide and 900 feet long. Kate walks diago

Kaylis [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

we have a rectangle, that is then cut in half diagonally into 2 right-angled triangles.

in our problem it does not matter which side is the larger and which is the shorter one, because the distance calculation for both cases involve one short and one long side. the sequence does not matter.

Mary walks one short and one large side to get to the opposite corner (from D to F) :

264 + 900 = 1,164 ft

Kate walks diagonally. and that diagonal is the Hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle with a short and a long side of the rectangle.

so, Pythagoras applies :

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle), and a and b are the legs.

in our case that means

diagonal² = 264² + 900² = 69,696 + 810,000 =

= 879,696

diagonal = sqrt(879,696) = 937.9211054... ft ≈ 938 ft

so, Kate walked

1,164 - 938 = 226 ft

less than Mary.

Find the inverse of each function.

Novosadov [1.4K]

as you should know, to get the inverse of any expression, we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables and then solve for "y".

$\stackrel{f(x)}{y}=\sqrt{x}-5\implies \stackrel{\textit{quick switcheroo}}{x=\sqrt{y}-5}\implies x+5=\sqrt{y} \implies (x+5)^2=y \\\\\\ \stackrel{F~O~I~L}{(x+5)(x+5)}=y\implies x^2+10x+25=\stackrel{f^{-1}(x)}{y}$

Find the value of d.

Ket [755]

First find the value or (DEA)
For this you will have to use the Pythagorean theory,
${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$
C is mainly the hypotenuse,
Meaning you either want to find A or B,

Since the hypotenuse has two segments, both values are 10, then just add them together making it 20,

Then 16 will be A or B, in this case it will be A,

To find a you must first move A to the other side by doing the opposite,
${b}^{2} = {c}^{2} - {a}^{2}$
Now plug in the values,
${b}^{2} = {20}^{2} - {16}^{2}$
${b}^{2} = 400 - 256$
${b}^{2} = 144$
Now just find the square root of both factors,
$\sqrt{ {b}^{2} } = \sqrt{12}$
The value of (DEA) is,
$b = 12$
Now we want to find (d)
Since 12 is the value of the base, then divide it 2 to find (DE), after just repeat the whole process but with the value of hypotenuse 10 instead of 20 since we want to find the smaller triangle,
${a}^{2} = {c}^{2} - {b}^{2}$
Now plug in the value
${a}^{2} = {10}^{2} - {6}^{2}$
${a}^{2} = 100 - 36$
${a}^{2} = 64$
Now find the square root of both factors,
$\sqrt{ {a}^{2} } = \sqrt{64}$
$a = 8$

The value of (d) is (8)

Hope this helped
:D

At a football game, 65% of people attending were supporting the home team, while 35% were supporting the visiting team. If 1300

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

At a football game, 65% of people that will attend are supporting the home team, while 35% are supporting the visiting team. 1300 people that attended supported the home team.

To get the total number of people that attended the game, we have to find the number of away supporters as well.

Let the number of people that attended the game be y.

Therefore 65% of y = 1300

65/100 × y = 1300

0.65 × y = 1300

0.65y = 1300

Divide both side by 0.65

0.65y/0.65 = 1300/0.65

y = 2000

The total number of people attending the game is 2000.
