If f(x) = 4x + 3 and g(x) = 3x, evaluate f(x) * g(x) for x= -1/2 a. -3/2 b. -21/2 c. 6 d. 0

1 answer:

4 0

F(x) = 4x+3
f(-1/2) = 4(-1/2)+3
f(-1/2) = -2+3
f(-1/2) = 1
-----------------------
g(x) = 3x
g(-1/2) = 3(-1/2)
g(-1/2) = -3/2
-----------------------
Replace x with -1/2 to go from
f(x)*g(x)
to
f(-1/2)*g(-1/2)
So you'll multiply the results of 1 and -3/2 to get 1*(-3/2) = -3/2
-----------------------
The final answer is -3/2

five percent of a batch of fuel was found faullty if 27 fuses were faulty how many were inspected the price of internet service

LenKa [72]

There are 540 fuses in total and the original price of the internet is $55.91

<h3>How to work with percentages?</h3>

a) We know that 5% of the fuses are faulty, and there are 27 faulty fusses, then we can write:

5% = 27

100% = x

We want to find x, to do that, we can write:

x = 27*(100%/5%) = 27*20 = 540

There are 540 fuses in total.

b) Now we know that the original price is P, and when we decrease it by 7%, then new price is $52.00
