Simon and Greg shared pencils in the ratio 7:5. If Simon gives away 30 pencils and Greg gets 30 more pencils, they will have the

same number of pencils. How many did each of them have in the beginning?

S/g=7/5, s=7g/5

s=g  if  s-30=g+30  using s found above...

7g/5 -30=g+30

(7g-150)/5=g+30

7g-150=5g+150

2g=300

g=150, and since s=7g/5, s=210

So Simon started with 210 pencils and Greg started with 150 pencils.

Answer:

b=3a/8

a=8b/3

Step-by-step explanation:

b/a=k ( k is the constant proportional)

3/8=9/24=15/40

b/a=3/8

F:[1/2,infinity)—&gt;[3/4,infinity) <br> f(x)=x^2-x+1 <br> find the inverse of f(x);please explain
dexar [7]

Answer:

f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{x-\frac{3}{4}}

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x^2-x+1

We want to solve for x.

I'm going to use completing the square.

Subtract 1 on both sides:

y-1=x^2-x

Add (-1/2)^2 on both sides:

y-1+(-1/2)^2=x^2-x+(-1/2)^2

This allows me to write the right hand side as a square.

y-1+1/4=(x-1/2)^2

y-3/4=(x-1/2)^2

Now remember we are solving for x so now we square root both sides:

\pm \sqrt{y-3/4}=x-1/2

The problem said the domain was 1/2 to infinity and the range was 3/4 to infinity.

This is only the right side of the parabola because of the domain restriction. We want x-1/2 to be positive.

That is we want:

\sqrt{y-3/4}=x-1/2

Add 1/2 on both sides:

1/2+\sqrt{y-3/4}=x

The last step is to switch x and y:

1/2+\sqrt{x-3/4}=y

y=1/2+\sqrt{x-3/4}

f^{-1}(x)=1/2+\sqrt{x-3/4}

Factor the expression below. x2 - 4x + 4 A. 4(x2 - x + 1) B. (x - 2)(x + 2) C. (x + 2)(x + 2) D. (x - 2)(x - 2)
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

D. (x - 2)(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 - 4x + 4 = x² - 2x - 2x +4

                  = x(x-2)  -  2(x - 2)                    

                  = (x-2)(x-2)

HINT:   - 2x +4  = -2 * x  + (-2) * (-2) = -2 ( x -2)
