<h3>Two
Answers: <u>
x = 2 and x = 10</u></h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
Draw a horizontal line through 10 on the y axis. This is because R(x) = 10 is the same as y = 10. The output of the function is the y value.
See the diagram below.
The horizontal line crosses the parabola at two locations. From those points, draw a vertical line straight down to the x axis. Note how we land at x = 2 and x = 10. This means that R(2) = 10 and R(10) = 10.
Answer:
the initial value is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
"y=mx+b" is the equation
"b" is the initial value, and there is no "b" value
Answer: 16 men
32 women
38 children
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of men in the group.
Let y represent the number if women in the group.
Let z represent the number of children in the group.
A group of 86 people consist of men women and children. This means that
x + y + z = 86 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
There are twice as many women than there are men. It means that
x = y/2
There are 6 more children than there are women. This means that
z = y + 6
Substituting x = y/2 and z = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes
y/2 + y + y + 6 = 86
multiplying through by 2, it becomes
y + 2y + 2y + 12 = 172
5y = 172 - 12 = 160
y = 160/5 = 32
x = y/2 = 32/2
x = 16
z = y + 6 = 32 + 6
z = 38
