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'

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

In a field of ducks and a dog someone counted 25 heads and 80 legs. How many dogs and ducks are there

brilliants [131]

Ducks have 1 head. Dogs have 1 head.
Ducks have 2 feet. Dogs have 4 feet.

If x = no. of ducks and g = no. of dogs

x + g = 25
2x + 4g = 80

Let's use substitution to solve.

x + g = 25 ⇒ x = 25 - g
replace x with 25 - g in the other equation and solve for g

2x + 4g = 80
2(25 - g) + 4g = 80
50 - 2g + 4g = 80
50 + 2g = 80
2g = 30
g = 15

Now use g = 15 in an earlier equation to find x.

x + g = 25
x + 15 = 25
x = 10

What does 81% 90% 80% and 34% average into 20 points

Alja [10]

Answer:

71.25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average, we can simply add up the percentages and divide by how many there are.

We can do this by:

$\frac{81 + 90 + 80 + 34}{4}$ = 71.25%

What is the equation of this line in standard form? (-4, -1) & (1/2, 3)

BabaBlast [244]

bearing in mind that standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{\frac{1}{2}}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{3}-\stackrel{y1}{(-1)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{\frac{1}{2}}-\underset{x_1}{(-4)}}}\implies \cfrac{3+1}{\frac{1}{2}+4}\implies \cfrac{4}{~~\frac{9}{2}~~}\implies \cfrac{4}{1}\cdot \cfrac{2}{9}\implies \cfrac{8}{9}$

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-1)}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{8}{9}}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-4)}]\implies y+1=\cfrac{8}{9}(x+4) \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{9}}{9(y+1)=9\left( \cfrac{8}{9}(x+4) \right)}\implies 9y+9=8(x+4)\implies 9y+9=8x+32 \\\\\\ 9y=8x+23\implies -8x+9y=23\implies 8x-9y=-23$
