The product of two numbers is 450.The first number is half the second number.Which can be used to find x,the greater number?

1 answer:

6 0

First, we must define the two numbers using x. We already know that the greater number is x. However, the smaller number is half the greater number. This can be represented by 1/2x. Now, we can create a multiplication equation to find the value of x. This equation would be x(1/2x) = 450. This can then be simplified to 1/2x^2 = 450, then x^2 = 900. Finally, x = 30, or -30. Since the question is only asking for an expression, the answer would be x(1/2x) = 450.

Hope this helps!

The graph represents the piecewise function

mr Goodwill [35]

The piece-wise function is defined as follows:

$f(x) = x^2, 0 \leq x < 3$ .

$f(x) = -\frac{5}{3}x + 14, 3 < x \leq 6$ .

$f(x) = \frac{3}{2}x - 5, 6 \leq x \leq 10$ .

<h3>What is a piece-wise function?</h3>

A piece-wise function is a function that has multiple definitions, depending on the input.

In this graph, for x at least 0 and less than 3, the parabolic curve passes through (0,0), (1,1), (2,4) and has an open interval at (3,9), hence the definition is:

$f(x) = x^2, 0 \leq x < 3$

For x greater than 3 and at most 6, it is a line going through (3,9) and (6,4), hence:

$m = \frac{9 - 4}{3 - 6} = -\frac{5}{3}$
