A store sells 6 batteries for $4.95. Which deal is a better buy? OA. 2 for $1.80 OB. 4 for $3.99 O C. 8 for $6.99 D. 10 for $7.5

Luden [163]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

7.50/10=0.75

0.75*6=4.5

So, you will get 6 batteries for $4.50 which of course is less than $4.95.

Х- а<br>x-b<br>If f(x) = b.x-a÷b-a + a.x-b÷a - b<br>Prove that: f (a) + f(b) = f (a + b)

GenaCL600 [577]

Given:

Consider the given function:

$f(x)=\dfrac{b\cdot(x-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot(x-b)}{a-b}$

To prove:

$f(a)+f(b)=f(a+b)$

Solution:

We have,

$f(x)=\dfrac{b\cdot(x-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (x-b)}{a-b}$

Substituting $x=a$ , we get

$f(a)=\dfrac{b\cdot(a-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a-b)}{a-b}$

$f(a)=\dfrac{b\cdot 0}{b-a}+\dfrac{a}{1}$

$f(a)=0+a$

$f(a)=a$

Substituting $x=b$ , we get

$f(b)=\dfrac{b\cdot(b-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (b-b)}{a-b}$

$f(b)=\dfrac{b}{1}+\dfrac{a\cdot 0}{a-b}$

$f(b)=b+0$

$f(b)=b$

Substituting $x=a+b$ , we get

$f(a+b)=\dfrac{b\cdot(a+b-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a+b-b)}{a-b}$

$f(a+b)=\dfrac{b\cdot (b)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a)}{-(b-a)}$

$f(a+b)=\dfrac{b^2}{b-a}-\dfrac{a^2}{b-a}$

$f(a+b)=\dfrac{b^2-a^2}{b-a}$

Using the algebraic formula, we get

$f(a+b)=\dfrac{(b-a)(b+a)}{b-a}$ $[\because b^2-a^2=(b-a)(b+a)]$

$f(a+b)=b+a$

$f(a+b)=a+b$ [Commutative property of addition]

Now,

$LHS=f(a)+f(b)$

$LHS=a+b$

$LHS=f(a+b)$

$LHS=RHS$

Hence proved.
