If x=girls,
then we have 3x boys.

We know that all children are boys+girls, so x+3x, which is 4x and 4x is 48, so one x is 12.

So there are 12 girls and 36 boys.

There are x girls in the group.
There are three times as many boys as girls, so the number of boys is 3x.
There are 48 children in the group.

x+3x=48 \\
4x=48 \\
x=\frac{48}{4} \\
x=12

There are 12 girls in the group.

Given the functions f(x) = 2x -1 and g(x) =
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • f(x) = 2x - 1
  • g(x) =  2 - x

a)

f(x) + g(x) = (2x - 1) + (2 - x)

                = 2x -1 + 2 - x

                = x + 1

b)

f(x) - g(x) = (2x - 1) - (2 - x)

              = 2x - 1 - 2 + x

               = 3x - 3

c)

g(-5) - f(-5)

Putting x = -5 in g(x) = 2 - x

g(x) = 2 - x

g(-5) = 2 - (-5) = 2+5 = 7

Putting x = -5 in f(x) = 2x - 1

f(x) = 2x - 1

f(-5) = 2(-5) - 1

       = -10 - 1

        = -11

Thus,

g(-5) - f(-5) = 7 - (-11) = 7+11 = 18

d)

f(x).g(x) = (2x - 1) (2 - x) = -2x² + 5x - 2

e)

f(g(x)) = f(2-x)

          = 2(2-x)-1

          = 4-2x-1

          = 3-2x

Y=kx
12=-4k
  k = -3

so when y = 15
y = kx
15 = -3x
  x = -5

----------------

$50 / 0.04 = $1250 (4% interest)

so
1250 * 0.06 = $75

answer
interest $75 at 6%

-----------------------------

y = kx
1/4 = 4k
k = 1/16

when x = 5
y = kx
y = 1/16(5)
y = 5/16 

-----------
y = kx
-5 = 4k
k = -5/4

direct equation
y = -5/4x

Find the average value of the function on the given interval.<br> f(x)=ex/7; [0,7]
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

f_{avg}=e-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a function

f(x)=e^{\frac{x}{7}}

We have to find the average value of function on the given interval [0,7]

Average value of function on interval [a,b] is given by

\frac{1}{b-a}\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx

Using the formula

f_{avg}=\frac{1}{7-0}\int_{0}^{7}e^{\frac{x}{7}} dx

f_{avg}=\frac{1}{7}[e^{\frac{x}{7}}\times 7)]^{7}_{0}

By using the formula

\int e^{ax}=\frac{e^{ax}}{a}

f_{avg}=(e-e^0)=e-1

Because e^0=1

f_{avg}=e-1

Hence, the average value of function on interval [0,7]

f_{avg}=e-1
