Answer:
17. a)
Step-by-step explanation:
17.
f(x) =x/2, then f(x-3)=(x-3)/2
x=3, f(x-3)=f(3-3)=f(0)=0 (values in table)
f(x-3)+3=0+3=3
18.
f(x) =x/2
f(x-2) for x=5 is f(5-2)=f(3)=3/2
f(x-2)+5=f(3)+5=3/2+5=3/2+10/2=13/2
2x2=4, 5x6=30
Not sure if they’re one expression, of so it’s (2x2)+(5x6)=34
-1 = (x-1)/3
(multiply both sides by 3)
-3 = x-1
(add 1 on both sides)
x=-2
Since only one person can finish in first place, one in second, etc., the total number of placers is 12x11x10, or 1320 different ways the 12 racers can finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd....
