Answer:

The first number is <u>18</u> and the second number is <u>27</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A first number is nine less than a second.

The sum of the numbers is 45.

Now, to find the numbers.

Let the second number be x.

And the first number be x-9.

The sum of the both numbers is 45.

According to question:

(x-9)+x=45.

⇒ x-9+x=45.

⇒ 2x-9=45.

<em>Adding both sides by 9 we get:</em>

⇒ 2x=54.

<em>Dividing both sides by 2 we get:</em>

⇒ x=27.

<u><em>The second number = 27</em></u>.

Now, to get the first number we put the value of x:

x-9

=27-9

=18.

Therefore, the first number is 18 and the second number is 27.

Which pair of statements describes the end behavior of the graph of the function f(x) = x3 + 2x2 − 5x − 6?
notka56 [123]

A function assigns the values. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is a Function?</h3>

A function assigns the value of each element of one set to the other specific element of another set.


The complete question is:

Which pair of statements describe the end behavior of the graph of the function f(x) = x³ + 2x² − 5x − 6?

A.) As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches infinity. As x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches infinity.

B.) As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches infinity. As x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity.

C.) As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity. As x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity.

D.) As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity. As x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches infinity.

If we draw the graph of the given function f(x) = x³ + 2x² − 5x − 6, then it can be observed that as x approaches -∞, f(x) approaches -∞. As x approaches ∞, f(x) approaches infinity.

Hence, the correct option is D.

Which expression is equivalent to one over 3p + 15?
Doss [256]

we know that

the expression " one over (3p+15)"  is equivalent to

\frac{1}{(3p+15)} --------> expression A

and

 3p+15=3(p+5) --------> expression B

substitute the expression B in the expression A

\frac{1}{(3p+15)}=\frac{1}{3(p+5)} -----> one over three(p + 5)

therefore

<u>the answer is the option </u>

one over three(p + 5)
