Answer is negative 4
-7x + 4 - 8 = 24
-7x + 4 - 4 + 8 - 8 = 24 + 4 - 8
-7x = 28
x = 28/-7
x = -4

Complete the table of values for the function f(x) = (1/3)x for a, b, and c. x : -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. f(x) : a, b, c, 1/3, 1/9

balu736 [363]

Given:

The function is

$f(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^x$

To find:

The missing values for a, b, and c in the given table.

Solution:

We have,

$f(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^x$

At x=-2,

$f(-2)=\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^{-2}$

$a=\left(3\right)^{2}$ $\left[\because \left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^{-n}=\left(\dfrac{b}{a}\right)^{n}\right]$

$a=9$

At x=-1,

$f(-1)=\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^{-1}$

$b=\left(3\right)^{1}$ $\left[\because \left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^{-n}=\left(\dfrac{b}{a}\right)^{n}\right]$

$b=3$

At x=0,

$f(0)=\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^{0}$

$c=1$ $\left[\because a^0=1, a\neq 0\right]$

Therefore, the missing values of a,b and c are 9, 3, and 1 respectively.

Ms. Lee wrote a test with 15 multiple choice short answer questions. The multiple choice questions x are worth 5 points and the

hram777 [196]

x + y = 15 and 5x + 10y = 100 are the system of equations that represent this situation

Solution:

Let "x" be the number of multiple choice questions

Let "y" be the number of short answer questions

Worth of 1 multiple choice questions = 5 points

Worth of 1 short answer question = 10 points

Ms. Lee wrote a test with 15 multiple choice short answer questions

Therefore,

number of multiple choice questions + number of short answer questions = 15

x + y = 15 -------- eqn 1

The maximum number of points possible on the test is 100

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

number of multiple choice questions x Worth of 1 multiple choice questions + number of short answer questions x Worth of 1 short answer question = 100

$x \times 5 + y \times 10=100$

5x + 10y = 100 ------- eqn 2

Thus eqn 1 and eqn 2 are the system of equations that represent this situation
