You define a function f(x) which gives the cost of buying x packages of cookies. You are asked for the domain of the function. That is, what values can x take on? x is the number of packages bought.

It makes no sense to buy a negative number of packages. It also makes no sense to buy 1/2 a package or 3/4 of a package as the store won’t sell you a fraction of a package. Try going to the store and buying half a package of oreo cookies. I doubt you’ll get very far :)

So it makes sense to buy 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... boxes of cookies. These are whole numbers. So the domain is the set of whole numbers. You could also write the domain like this {0, 1, 2, 3, ...} making sure to use the curly brackets as those denote a set.

Find 2 numbers who product is 15 and sum is 16.​
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

15 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x and y are two numbers.

Two equations:

x · y = 15

x + y = 16

Rearrange one of the equations (I'll rearrange the sum equation):

x + y = 16

x = 16 - y

Substitute that to the other equation and solve for y:

x · y = 15

(16 - y) · y = 15

16 - y · y = 15

16 - y² = 15

-y² = 15 - 16

-y² = -1

y² = 1

y = √1

y = 1

Now substitute that to any of the equation and solve for x (in here, I'll choose the multiplication one):

x · y = 15

x · 1 = 15

x = 15

Now verify:

15 · 1 = 15

15 + 1 = 16

This is correct

What is the area of the figure
Juli2301 [7.4K]
The area of a figure is the number of squares required to cover it completely, like tiles on a floor. Area of a square = side times side. Since each side of a square is the same, it can simply be the length of one side squared.
