Let x be the unknown number. So, three times that number means 3x, and the square of the number is x^2

We have to sum 528 and three times the number, so we have 528+3x

Then, we have to subtract this number from x^2, so we have

x^2-(3x+528)

The result is 120, so the equation is

x^2 - 3x - 528 = 120 \iff x^2 - 3x - 648 = 0

This is a quadratic equation, i.e. an equation like ax^2+bx+c=0. These equation can be solved - assuming they have a solution - with the following formula

x_{1,2} = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

If you plug the values from your equation, you have

x_{1,2} = \dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{9-4\cdot(-648)}}{2} = \dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{9+2592}}{2} = \dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{2601}}{2} = \dfrac{3\pm51}{2}

So, the two solutions would be

x = \dfrac{3+51}{2} = \dfrac{54}{2} = 27

x = \dfrac{3-51}{2} = \dfrac{-48}{2} = -24

But we know that x is positive, so we only accept the solution x = 27

At a particular restaurant, 62% of all customers order an appetizer and 41% of all customers order dessert. If 69% of all custom
jekas [21]

Answer:

In terms of probablity (A - appetizer oredered, B - desert ordered)

P(A)=63%

P(B)=40%

P(AorB)=76%.

Using the formula:

P(AorB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A&B) we get P(A&B)=63%+40%-76%=27% (probability we were looking for).

Can someone help me please
babunello [35]

If the functions are inverses, then f(g(x)) = x.

A.

\displaystyle f(g(x))=f\left(\frac{3x+1}{3}\right)=\frac{1}{\frac{3x+1}{x}-3}\\\\=\frac{1}{\left(\frac{3x+1-3x}{x}\right)}=\frac{1}{\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)}=x

The functions are inverses of each other.

B. The domain of f(x) = x≠3. The domain of g(x) is x≠0.

The domain of f(g(x)) is (-∞, 0) ∪ (0, ∞).

The domain of g(f(x)) is (-∞, 3) ∪ (3, ∞).

A number increased by 100% and decreased by 20% is x. what is the number ? NEEDED TODAY
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Let's assume the number be 100.

According to the problem , 100 is increased by 100%.

So, new number will be 100+100=200

Now 200 will decreased by 20%.

So, 20% of 200= 0.20*200= 40.

So, again the number has been changed into 200+40=240.

So, x=240
