Let the weight of the full Volume of nails in the box be W.
Let the weight of the box be B.

2/3 W  + B =  130 ........i          From the first statement.
3/8 W  + B =      74 ......ii         From the second statement.

Equation (i)  Minus (ii)

2/3 W  - 3/8 W + B  - B =  130 - 74
(16W  - 9W) / 24                 = 56

7W / 24  =  56.
W        =  56 * 24 / 7
W        =    192  Pounds.

Substituting V = 64 in equation (i)
2/3 W  + B =  130
2/3 * 192  + B =  130
2 * 64  + B =  130
128  + B =  130
B =  130 -128 = 2.

Therefore, weight of box, B = 2 pounds.

Answer:

  • f(x) = x
  • g(x) = -2x+1
  • f(x) -(-g(x)) = -x+1
  • f(x) +g(x) = -x+1
  • f(x)-(-g(x)) = (f+g)(x) is true for all functions f and g, linear or not

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define a couple of linear functions as ...

  f(x) = x

  g(x) = -2x+1

Then the reflected function -g(x) is ...

  -g(x) = -(-2x +1) = 2x -1

And the difference from f(x) is ...

  f(x) -(-g(x)) = x -(2x -1) = -x +1 . . . . f(x) -(-g(x))

We want to compare that to the sum of the functions:

  f(x) +g(x) = x +(-2x +1) = -x +1 . . . . f(x) +g(x)

The two versions of the function expression have the same value.

These results are <em>a property of addition</em>, so do not depend on the nature of f(x) or g(x). They will hold for every function.

lord [1]

<u>Answer-</u>

<em>Equation 1</em><em> is the equation which represents the graph.</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

From the graph it can be noticed that, the function is a hyperbola. It is a rectangular hyperbola.

The general form of rectangular hyperbola is,

xy=c^2

Where c is a constant.

Equation 1 represents a function of rectangular hyperbola, with vertical asymptote as x=-2 .

Equation 2 represents an exponential function.

Equation 2 represents an cubic function.

Equation 2 represents logarithmic function.

Therefore, equation 1 is the equation which represents the graph.
