k = - 2

evaluate h(2), equate to 18 and solve for k

h(2) = - 2k + 14 = 18 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

- 2k = 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

k = - 2

h(x)= -kx + 14

18 = -k*2 + 14 since x=2

18 = -2k +14

subtract 14 from each side

4 = -2k

divide by -2

-2 =k

What is the simplified form of the following expression?

kogti [31]

Answer:

$\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We will be using 2 properties of radicals in this simplification (outlined below).

$\sqrt{a*b}=\sqrt{a}* \sqrt{b}$
$\sqrt{a}*\sqrt{a}=a$

<em>Let's simplify this:</em>

$2\sqrt{27} +\sqrt{12} -3\sqrt{3}-2\sqrt{12}\\ =2\sqrt{9*3}+\sqrt{4*3} -3\sqrt{3}-2\sqrt{4*3} \\=2\sqrt{9} \sqrt{3} +\sqrt{4} \sqrt{3}-3\sqrt{3}-2\sqrt{4} \sqrt{3} \\=2(3)\sqrt{3}+(2)\sqrt{3} -3\sqrt{3}-2(2)\sqrt{3} \\ =6\sqrt{3} +2\sqrt{3}-3\sqrt{3}-4\sqrt{3} \\=\sqrt{3}$

First answer choice is right.

The sum of three numbers is 62. The second number is equal to the first number diminished by 4. The third number is four times t

alexdok [17]

Let the three numbers be x, y and z respectively, then
x + y + z = 62 . . . (1)
y = x - 4 . . . (2)
z = 4x . . . (3)

The above three expressions could be used to represent the numbers.

Solving the three equations, putting (2) and (3) into (1) gives
x + x - 4 + 4x = 62
6x - 4 = 62
6x = 62 + 4 = 66
x = 66/6 = 11
x = 11.
y = 11 - 4 = 7
z = 4(11) = 44

x = 11, y = 7, z = 44.
