if Malachy gets £44 then Paul get $55.

Step-by-step explanation:

Malachy and Paul win some money and share it in the ratio = 4:5

if Malachy gets £44 we need to find how much did Paul get?

let Paul get x so, we will have

4:5=44:x

$\frac{4}{5}=\frac{44}{x}$

Cross multiply and solve:

$4x=44*5\\x=\frac{44*5}{4}\\x=55$

So, Paul get $55

The solution to these two graphs will be when they are equal. Therefore:

$x^3+3=x^2+2 \\\\x^3-x^2+1=0 \\\\x\approx -0.755\approx -\dfrac{13}{16}$

Hope this helps!

Andrej [43]

So the 4ft mailbox’s shadow was six feet. That 2ft longer. According to my logic if the tree had a showdown of 36ft we subtract 2ft. The trees actual size is 34ft.

I might be wrong don’t hate me :(

Given that g(x) = x^5 - 5x^4 + 10x^3 - 10x^2 + 5x - 1, find g^-1(x).

Ivan

First Factor.

$(x-1)^5 = x^5 -5x^4+10x^3 -10x^2+5x-1$

$g(x) = y = (x-1)^5$

Find inverse by solving for 'x'

$x-1 = y^{1/5} \\ \\ x = y^{1/5} +1 \\ \\ g^{-1} (x) = x^{1/5} + 1$
