If we take the numbers to be hmm say "a" and "b"
let's say "a" is the bigger number, how big?

well "<span>One number is 10 more than another"
so... whatever "b" is, "a" is THAT plus 10, or
a = b+ 10

now, how much is twice the smaller? the smaller is b
twice b, is 2 * b or 2b

what about three times the larger? the larger is a
thrice a is 3 * a or 3a

we're told that 2b + 3a = 55
thus</span>\bf \begin{cases}&#10;a=b+10&#10;\\\\&#10;2b+3a=55\\&#10;--------------\\&#10;2b+3\left( \boxed{b+10} \right)=55&#10;\end{cases}

solve for "b", to see what the smaller one is

what about "a"? well, a = b + 10

What are the discontinuity and zero of the function f(x) = quantity x squared plus 6 x plus 8 end quantity over quantity x plus
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Discontinuity at (-4,-2), zero at (-2,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a function

f(x)=\frac{x^2+6x+8}{x+4}

We have to find the discontinuity and zero of the given function.

Discontinuity: It is that point where the function is not defined.

It makes the function infinite.

f(x)=\frac{x^2+4x+2x+8}{x+4}

f(x)=\frac{(x+4)(x+2)}{x+4}

When x=-4 then

f(-4)=\frac{0}{0} It is indeterminate form

Function is not defined

After cancel out x+4 in numerator and denominator  then we get

f(x)=x+2

Substitute x=-4

f(-4)=-4+2=-2

Therefore, the point of discontinuity is (-4,-2).

Zero: The zero of the function is that number when substitute it in the given function then the function becomes zero.

When substitute x=-2

Then , f(0)=-2+2=0

The function is zero at (-2,0).

Hence, option C is true.

Evaluate the piecewise-defined function for the indicated values. I’m just unsure of how to solve when the value isn’t given dir
Fantom [35]

The value of the function at t=0 is 9 , 6<x<7 is -t+5, 1<n<2 is 9, for m^{2} +1 is 9.

Given function which is 9 for 0 to 5 , -t+5 for 5 to 8 and \sqrt{t-1} for 8<t<11.

A) We have to find the function at t=0 which is 9 because it lies between 0<=t<5.

B) In this we have to find the value of the function when x=t lies between 6 and 7. is -t+5.

C) In this we have to find the value of Q(n) when n lies between 1 and 2 and the value becomes 9 because it lies between 0 and 5.

D) In this we have to find the function at m^{2} +1 when m belongs to \sqrt{7} and \sqrt{10} the value of m lies between 2 and 4 and the value of m square +1 lies between 3 and 5. Hence the value of function at m square plus one is 9.

. Find the value of $1,300 invested at 4.2% interest compounded continuously for 5 years, 9 months. Round your final answer to t
BARSIC [14]
The formula we use for continuous compounding is A=Pe ^{rt} where P is the initial amount invested, r is the rate as a decimal, and t is time in years.  Our P = 1300, our r = .042, and our t = 5.75 (9 months is 3/4 of a year, and 3/4 in a decimal is .75).  Putting all that into our formula we have A=1300(2.718) ^{(.042)(5.75)}.  We have to multiply those 2 powers together and then raise euler's number to it, then multiply by 1300.  Doing all of that, we get the amount at the end to be $1,655.10
