He began with 10. Because if he bought 8 after selling half of his books and now his total is 13, then 13-8=5
so 5+5=10

If f(x)=3 x -1 and g(x)=0.03x^3-x+1 an approximate solution for the equation f(x)=g(x) is
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

  x ≈ {-11.789, +0.501, 11.288}

Step-by-step explanation:

The cubic g(x) - f(x) = 0 has three real solutions. It can be rewritten as ...

  g(x)-f(x)=0\\\\0.03x^3-x+1-(3x-1)=0\\\\0.03x^3-4x+2=0

Since the solutions are irrational, they are best found using a spreadsheet or graphing calculator. My favorite graphing calculator shows the approximate solutions below.

_____

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>

Your expression for f(x) is ambiguous in that many Brainly questions have the exponentiation indicator replaced by a blank: 3 x -1 often means 3^x -1 and sometimes means 3^(x-1). We have taken the expression at face value and have assumed it is a linear expression. If otherwise, the problem is basically worked the same way: write a function h(x) = g(x) - f(x) and look for solutions to h(x) = 0. Graphing can be useful.

Which is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line with the equation:<br>y = 1/4x + 2​
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

4x + y = k

Step-by-step explanation:

=> 4y = x + 8

=> x - 4y = -8

Slope = 1/4

The other line's slope = -4

4x + y = k is the answer.
