1/(x+3) = 7/(4x+12) - 2
1/(x+3) = 7/(4(x+3)) - 2
1/z = 7/(4z) - 2 ..... let z = x+3
4z*[1/z] = 4z*[7/(4z) - 2]
4 = 7 - 8z
4-7 = 7 - 8z - 7
-3 = -8z
-8z = -3
-8z/(-8) = -3/(-8)
z = 3/8
x+3 = 3/8 .... replace z with x+3
x+3-3 = 3/8 - 3
x = 3/8 - 24/8
x = (3-24)/8
x = -21/8

The final answer, as a fraction, is x = -21/8
If you want the answer in decimal form, then using a calculator we can say -21/8 = -2.625

Let $f(x)$ be a quadratic polynomial such that $f(-4) = -22,$ $f(-1)=2$, and $f(2)=-1.$ Let $g(x) = f(x)^{16}.$ Find the sum of
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The sum of the coefficients of the terms in (-1.5·x² + 0.5·x + 4)¹⁶ that have even degree is  -4273411167.501

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

f(-4) = -22

f(-1) = 2

f(2) = -1

g(x) = f(x)¹⁶

The function f(x) is presented as follows;

f(x) = a·x² + b·x +c

We have;

-22 = a·(-4)² + b·(-4) +c

-22 = a·16 - 4·b +c ..............(1)

2 = a·(-1)² + b·(-1) +c

2 = a - b +c...........................(2)

-1 = a·(2)² + b·(2) +c

-1 = 4·a + 2·b +c...................(3)

Solving the equations (1), (2), and (3) by using an online linear systems solver, we get;

a = -1.5, b = 0.5, c = 4

Therefore, f(x) = -1.5·x² + 0.5·x + 4

f(x)¹⁶ = (-1.5·x² + 0.5·x + 4)¹⁶ which gives the coefficients of the even terms as follows;

656.841 - 19267.331 + 248302.054 - 1772904.419 + 6735603.932 - 2868054.635 - 119602865.901 + 750783340.827 + -2542435585.611 + 5338903756.992 - 6048065910.25 -1031335136 + 17223697920 - 32238338048 + 32107397120 - 17716740096 = -4273411167.501.

On a Saturday the ratio of the amount of water used by Household A to the amount of water used by Household B was 13:5.Household
Reptile [31]
Use a proportion.

Let A = water used in household A.
Let B = water used in household B.

A to B = 13 to 5

A = 260 gal

260 to B = 13 to 5

260/B = 13/5

13B = 5 * 260

B = 100

A + B = 260 + 100 = 360

The total is 360 gallons.
