Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the greater number and y be the smaller number. We know that their difference is 15, so we have

x-y=15

Then, we have the following information: if we add twice the greater (2x) and 8 (2x+8), the result is 3 times the lesser (3y) minus four (3y-4). So, we have

2x+8 = 3y-4 \iff 2x-3y = -12

So, we have the follwing system:

\begin{cases} x-y=15\\2x-3y = -12\end{cases}

From the first equation, we can derive x = y+15, and substitute this expression in the second equation to get

2(y+15)-3y = -12 \iff 2y + 30 -3y = -12 \iff -y = -42 \iff y = 42

Substitute this value for y in the first equation to get

x-42=15 \iff x=15+42 \iff x = 57

Will someone explain what i did wrong here?

The actual inverse function is:

f^{-1}(x) = x^2 + 3

And the domain is [0, ∞).

<h3>Where is the mistake?</h3>

Remember that for a given function f(x) with a domain D and a range R.

For the inverse function, f⁻¹(x) the domain is R and the range is D.

Here, for the given function the domain is x ≥ 3 and the range is [0, ∞).

Then for the inverse function, which is:

f^{-1}(x) = x^2 + 3

(to check this, you must have that):

f^{-1}(f(x)) = x\\\\f(f^{-1}(x)) = x

The domain will be [0, ∞) and the range x ≥ 3

tank contains 20002000 liters​ (L) of a solution consisting of 112112 kg of salt dissolved in water. Pure water is pumped into t
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Answer:

t ≅ 5.09 min

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that if in 4000 L/sol there is 132 kg salt and the pumping speed is 12L/s, we must find how much of salt is pumping per second and then find the amount of salt remaining

12L/s*132kg salt/4000L = 0.396 Kg salt/s,  this means that 0.396 kg per second comes out , It should be found that the amount of salt must be drained so that only 11 kg of salt remain

132kg salt - 11 kg salt = 121 kg salt, so

121Kg salt*s/0.396Kg salt ≅ 305.55 s ⇒ 305.55s*min/60s ≅ 5.09 min

Step-by-step explanation:
