Let the weight of triangle be x units. You are given that the weight of square is 1 unit.

1) On the left side of the balanced beam you can see 3 triangles and 5 squares. The weight on left side is 3·x+5·1=3x+5 units.

2) On the right side of the balanced beam you can see 2 triangles and 7 squares. The weight on right side is 2·x+7·1=2x+7 units.

3) If the whole system is balanced, then the weights on left and right sides are equal:

3x+5=2x+7.

Solve this equation:

3x-2x=7-5,

x=2 units.

Answer: option A

if f(x) = [sqrt{1-x^2}] and g(x) = [sqrt{x}] What is the domain and range for (f+g)of and go(f*g)=?
alisha [4.7K]
We are given with two equations bearing a square root sign within. In this case, the goal of f(x) is to have a value of x not greater than 1 and not less than -1. g(x) should have x only equal to  positive numbers. Hence the domain for (f+g) is equal to the positive numbers greater than or equal to 1.in 2. we multiply both functions to give sqrt of x*(1-x2). the domain should be also positive numbers greater than or equal to 1.
