Rewrite y = 3x in function notation.

1 answer:

4 0

Function notation replaces the 'y' with a letter, usually 'f' and then puts the variable in parenthesis.

f(x) = 3x

Other equivalent examples would be:
g(x) = 3x
f(z) = 3z
h(a) = 3a

All of these represent the same function, just written in different forms of function notation. The variable can be represented as any letter and the function name can be different letters as well.

8(x/4)>4 solve the inequality

Hoochie [10]

ANSWER

$x>2$

<u>EXPLANATION</u>

We have the inequality

$8(\frac{x}{4})>4$

We can cancel directly to get;

$2(\frac{x}{1})>4$

$\Rightarrow 2x>4$

We now divide both sides by 2,

$\Rightarrow x>\frac{4}{2}$

$x>2$

Take some trinomial expansions to find some useful expressions and their values.

• 2nd degree expansion

$x + y + z = 7 \\\\ \implies (x+y+z)^2 = x^2+y^2+z^2+2(xy+xz+yz) = 7^2 \\\\ \implies xy+xz+yz = \dfrac{49-33}2 = 8$

• 3rd degree expansion

$x+y+z=7 \implies (x+y+z)^3 = 7^3 \\\\ \implies \\ 243 = x^3+y^3+z^3+3(x^2y+x^2z+xy^2+y^2z+xz^2+yz^2) + 6xyz \\\\ \implies \\ x^2y+x^2z+xy^2+y^2z+xz^2+yz^2 + 2xyz = \dfrac{343 - 145}3 = 66$

• 4th degree expansion

$x+y+z=7 \implies (x+y+z)^4 = 7^4 \\\\ \implies \\ 2401 = x^4+y^4+z^4+4(x^3y+x^3z+xy^3+y^3z+xz^3+yz^3) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~+ 6(x^2y^2+x^2z^2+y^2z^2) + 12(x^2yz+xy^2z+xyz^2) \\\\ \implies \\\\ x^4+y^4+z^4 = 2401 - 4(x^3y+x^3z+xy^3+y^3z+xz^3+yz^3) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~- 6(x^2y^2+x^2z^2+y^2z^2) - 12(x^2yz+xy^2z+xyz^2)$

Simplify:

$x^3y+x^3z+xy^3+y^3z+xz^3+yz^3 \\\\ ~~~~ = x^2 (xy+xz) + y^2 (xy+yz) + z^2 (xz + yz) \\\\ ~~~~ = x^2 (xy+xz+yz) + y^2 (xy+xz+yz) + z^2 (xy + xz + yz) - (x^2yz + xy^2z + xyz^2) \\\\ ~~~~ = (x^2+y^2+z^2) (xy+xz+yz) - xyz (x+y+z) \\\\ ~~~~ = 264 - 7xyz$

$x^2y^2+x^2z^2+y^2z^2 \\\\ ~~~~ = xy\cdot xy + xz \cdot xz + yz \cdot yz \\\\ ~~~~ = xy(xy+xz+yz) + xz(xy+xz+yz) + yz(xy+xz+yz) - 2(x^2yz+xy^2z+xyz^2) \\\\ ~~~~ = (xy+xz+yz)^2 - 2xyz(x+y+z) \\\\ ~~~~ = 64 - 14xyz$

$x^2yz+xy^2z+xyz^2 = xyz (x + y + z) = 7xyz$

Then the equation we got from the 4th degree expansion reduces to

$x^4+y^4+z^4 = 2401 - 4(264-7xyz) - 6(64-14xyz) - 12(7xyz) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~= 961 + 28xyz$

and all we need now is the value of $xyz$ .

In the 3rd degree expansion, we have

$x^2y+x^2z+xy^2+y^2z+xz^2+yz^2 \\\\ ~~~~ = x(xy + xz) + y(xy + yz) + z(xz + yz) \\\\ ~~~~ = x(xy+xz+yz) + y(xy+xz+yz) + z(xy+xz+yz) - 3xyz \\\\ ~~~~ = (x+y+z)(xy+xz+yz) - 3xyz \\\\ ~~~~ = 56 - 3xyz \\\\ \implies (56 - 3xyz) + 2xyz = 66 \\\\ \implies xyz = -10$
