A toy plush weighed 1/5 of a pound. a flimsy box can hold 3 pounds. how many toy plushes could the box hold?

1 answer:

4 0

So how many 1/5 pounds can a box, that holds 3 pounds, hold?
total weight = 1/5 times the amount of toys
3 = 1/5 x
rewrite
3 = 1x /5
multiply both sides by 5
15 = 1x
15 = x <span>

The flimsy box can hold 15 toy plushes.

Hope this helps</span>

Solve x2-8x=3 by completing the square. which is the solution set of the equation

Mazyrski [523]

we have

$x^{2}-8x=3$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$x^{2}-8x+16=3+16$

$x^{2}-8x+16=19$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x-4)^{2}=19$

$(x-4)^{2}=19\\ (x-4)=(+/-)\sqrt{19} \\ \\ x1=4+\sqrt{19} =8.359\\ x2=4-\sqrt{19} =-0.359$

therefore

the answer is

$x1=4+\sqrt{19} =8.359\\x2=4-\sqrt{19} =-0.359$

For f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals StartRoot x EndRoot and g left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals 4 x plus

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are two functions f and g as

$f(x) = \sqrt{x} \\g(x) =4x+9$

We have to find the composition of functions.

Composition functions are calculated as the first function inside bracket and then the outside function of answer inside.

a) $fog= f{g(x)} =f(4x+9) = \sqrt{4x+9}$

b) $gof = g{f(x)} = g(\sqrt{x} )=4\sqrt{x} +9$

c) $fof = f(\sqrt{x} ) = \sqrt[4]{x}$

d) $gog = g(4x+9) = 4(4x+9)+9\\= 16x+45$
