Step-by-step explanation:
I am not sure what your problem here is.
you understand the inequality signs ?
anyway, to get
6×f(-2) + 3×g(1)
we can calculate every part of the expression separately, and then combine all the results into one final result.
f(-2)
we look at the definition.
into what category is -2 falling ? the one with x<-2, or the one with x>=-2 ?
is -2 < -2 ? no.
is -2 >= -2 ? yes, because -2 = -2. therefore, it is also >= -2.
so, we have to use
1/3 x³
for x = -2 that is
1/3 × (-2)³ = 1/3 × -8 = -8/3
g(1)
again, we look at the definition.
into what category is 1 falling ? the one with x > 2 ? or the one with x <= 1 ?
is 1 > 2 ? no.
is 1 <= 1 ? yes, because 1=1. therefore it is also <= 1.
so we have to use
2×|x - 1| + 3
for x = 1 we get
2×0 + 3 = 3
6×f(-2) = 6 × -8/3 = 2× -8 = -16
3×g(1) = 3× 3 = 9
and so in total we get
6×f(-2) + 3×g(1) = -16 + 9 = -7
Answer:
high quality = 711/895
medium quality = 112/895
low quality = 72/895
Step-by-step explanation:
72 + 112 + 711 = 895
high quality = 711/895
medium quality = 112/895
low quality = 72/895
The first thing you want to do is plug in x and y into both equations:
a(3) + b(4) = 4
b(3) + a(4) = 8
rearrange to line up a’s and b’s
3a + 4b = 4
4a + 3b = 8
now you want to choose a or b and multiply each equation by a number to make them have the same amount of a’s or b’s.
4(3a + 4b = 4) = 12a + 16b = 16
3(4a + 3b = 8) = 12a + 9b = 24
Now we subtract the bottom equation from the top and solve for b:
12a + 16b - (12a + 9b) = 16 - 24
7b = -8
b = -8/7
Now we plug back in for b to one of the original equations:
3a + 4(-8/7) = 4
3a + (-32/7) = 4
3a - (32/7) = 4
3a = 4 + (32/7)
3a = (28/7) + (32/7)
3a = 60/7
a = (60/7)/3 = 20/7.
Finally, plug a and b in together to double check using the second equation.
4a + 3b = 8
4(20/7) + 3(-8/7) = ?
(80/7) - (24/7) = ?
56/7 = 8.
2:12 is an equivalent ratio
(7,2) is the answer.
There you go.
