5 0

Answer:

\large\boxed{(3x-8)+(2x+5)-(4x-8)=x+5}

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x-8)+(2x+5)-(4x-8)\\\\=3x-8+2x+5-4x-(-8)\\\\=3x-8+2x+5-4x+8\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(3x+2x-4x)+(-8+5+8)\\\\=x+5

Andre and Diego were each trying to solve 2x+6=3x-8 Describe the first step they each make to the equation
avanturin [10]
The first step was the combine the like terms; in this example he is subtracting the 3x on both sides of the =.

If you were to solve the equation it would look like this:

2x+6=3x-8
-3x -3x

-x+6=-8
-6 -6

-x=-14
/-1 /-1

The quadratic mean of two real numbers x and y equals p (x 2 y 2)/2. By computing the arithmetic and quadratic means of differen
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The quadratic mean of 2 real positive numbers is greater than or equal to the arithmetic mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

x and y      Quadratic Mean       Arithmetic mean

3 and 3                    3                                    3

2 and 3                   2.55                               2.5

3 and  6                  4.74                                4.5

2 and 5                   3.8                                  3.5

2 and 17                 12.1                                   9.5

18 and 28              23.5                                  23

10 and  48             34.7                                  29

The quadratic mean is always greater than the arithmetic mean except when  x and y are the same.

When the difference between the pairs is  small the difference in the means is also small. As that difference increases the difference in the means also increases.

So we conjecture that the quadratic mean is always greater than or equal to the arithmetic mean.

Proof.

Suppose it is true then:

√(x^2 + y^2) / 2) ≥ (x + y)/2       Squaring  both sides:

(x ^2 + y^2) / 2 ≥ (x + y)^2 / 4    Multiply through by 4:

2x^2 +2y^2  ≥  (x + y)^2

2x^2 +2y^2 >=  x^2 + 2xy + y^2

x^2 + y^2 >= 2xy.

x^2 - 2xy + y^2 ≥ 0

(x - y)^2 ≥ 0

This is true  because the square of any real number is positive so the original inequality must also be true.

What is 0.612 ( 12 repeating) as a fraction
lina2011 [118]

the idea behind the recurring decimal as a fraction, is to first off, multiply or divide by some power of 10, in order that we leave the recurring decimal to the right of the decimal point.

then we multiply by a power of 10, in order to move the repeating digits to the left of the decimal point, anyhow, let's proceed.

\bf 0.6\overline{1212}\implies \cfrac{06.\overline{1212}}{10}\implies \cfrac{6+0.\overline{1212}}{10}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{now let's make}}{x=0.\overline{1212}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \begin{array}{llll} 100\cdot x &=& 12.\overline{1212}\\\\ &&12+0.\overline{1212}\\\\ &&12+x\\\\ 100x&=&12+x\\\\ 99x&=&12\\\\ x&=&\cfrac{12}{99}\implies x = \cfrac{4}{33} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \cfrac{06.\overline{1212}}{10}\implies \cfrac{6+x}{10}\implies \cfrac{6+\frac{4}{33}}{10}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{202}{33}~~}{10}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{202}{33}~~}{\frac{10}{1}}\implies \cfrac{202}{330} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \cfrac{101}{165}~\hfill

notice, we first divided by 10, to move the decimal point over to the right by 1 slot, then we multiplied by 100, to move it two digits over the decimal point, namely the repeating "12", thus we use 100.

Let f(x) = 3 * sqrt(x) + 7. Define g$to be the inverse of f.
aliina [53]

By using the definition of inverse functions, we will see that:

g(g(f(f(f(36))))) = f(36) = 25.

<h3>What are inverse functions?</h3>

Two functions f(x) and g(x) are inverses if:

f( g(x) ) = x

g( f(x) ) = x

Then we can rewrite:

g(g(f(f(f(36)))))

First, we can see that:

g(f(f(f(36)))) = f(f(36))

Replacing that in our expression, we get:

g(g(f(f(f36))))) = g(f(f(36)))

And the above expression is equal to f(36), to be sure of that, let's replace:

u = f(36)

Then we can rewrite:

g(f(f(36))) = g(f(u))

And by definition, the above thing is equal to u:

g(f(u)) = u = f(36).

Finally, we conclude that:

g(g(f(f(f(36))))) = f(36) = 3*√36 + 7 = 3*6 + 7 = 25
