Henry is buying school supplies for the start of the school year. For every 3 pencils he buys 2 pens. If Henry buys 21 pencils,

how many total pencils and pens did Henry purchase?

Remark

The total number of items bought is represented by 2 + 3 = 5. So for pencils to pencils + pens his ratio of pencils to total is  3/5

Equation

3/5 = 21 / x   Cross multiply

3x = 5 * 21

3x = 105

x = 105/3

x = 35

Conclusion

The total number of pens and pencils that he bought was 35 <<< Answer.

Note

He bought 35 - 21 = 14 pens. That should be 2/5 of the total.

Check

2/5 * 35 = 70/5 = 14 So it checks.

Verify that f and g are inverses functions using composition , show your steps
pshichka [43]

Answer:

See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the functions

f(x) = 12x - 12

g(x) = x/12 - 1

To show they are inverses, we, must show that f(g(x)) = g(f(x))

f(g(x)) = f(x/12 - 1)

Replace x with x/12 - 1 into f(x)

f(g(x)) =12((x-12)/12) - 11

f(g(x)) =  x-1 - 1

f(g(x)) =x - 2

Similarly for g(f(x))

g(f(x)) = g(12x-12)

g(f(x)) =(12x-12)/12 - 1

12(x-1)/12 - 1

x-1 - 1

x - 2

Since f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x -2, hence they are inverses of each other

Circle T is shown. Line segment Q S is a diameters. Point R is opposite of point T. Lines are drawn from points Q and S to point
Juliette [100K]

The value of angle x of the given cyclic segment is; 49.5°

<h3>How to find the angle of an arc?</h3>

We are given the measure of the angle of  arc QS as (4x – 18)°

Now, to find the measure of arc QS, this angle is to be equal to 180° and as such;

Thus;

(4x – 18)° = 180°

4x - 18 = 180

4x = 180 + 18

4x = 198

x = 198/4

x = 49.5°

The angle subtended by the arc at the center of a circle with center C is the angle of the arc. It is denoted by. m AB, where A and B are the endpoints of the arc. With the help of the arc length formula, we can find the measure of arc angle.

The formula to measure the length of the arc is;

Arc Length Formula (if angle θ is in degrees); s = 2πr (θ/360°)

Arc Length Formula (if θ is in radians) s = ϴ × r.

Thus, the value of x of the given cyclic segment is; 49.5°
