Answer:
Infinite
Step-by-step explanation:
3(4x + 1) - 2
= 12x + 3 - 2 (Multiply the sum in the bracket by 3)
= 12x + 1 (Simplify)
This means that:
12x + 1 = 3(4x + 1) - 2
is the same as
12x + 1 = 12x + 1
Hence, anything that is used to substitute x is correct.
Answer:
Correct answers are
First one
Second one
Third one
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+5x=8x
3(x+4)=3x+12
a+a+b=2a+b
1. 2700 degrees. 450 rotations in on minute is 450(360) degrees per minute. If you divide this by 60 you get 2700.
2. 180 degrees. 4.3 rotations per minute is 4.3 times 360 degrees per minute. Multiply that times 5, and divide the answer by 360 and you get 21.5, which means he is 180 degrees from his starting point.
10/26, you can just multiply each number in the fraction by 2 :)
Let x be a variable, and f(x) a function of that variable.
f(2) is a <em>number </em>; it's the value of the function f(x) when x = 2, assuming that value exists.
f(x) = 2 is a <em>statement </em>; it says there is some value of x for which the function returns a value of 2. Because it's a statement, it can be true or false.
Here's an example:
Define f(x) = sin(x). Then f(2) = sin(2) ≈ 0.909297.
If x is a real number, then the statement sin(x) = 2 is false, because -1 ≤ sin(x) ≤ 1 for all real x.
If we replace 2 with 1, on the other hand, we get
f(1) = sin(1) ≈ 0.84147
and
sin(x) = 1 ==> x = π/2 + 2nπ
where n is any integer. (So we're talking about numbers like π/2, -3π/2, 5π/2, -7π/2, and so on.) We're saying here that any real number x of the above form satisfies the equation and makes the statement true.
