Dan started with 69 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the initial number of cards

Then

According to "Dan bought 7 new baseball trading cards to add to his collection"

x+7

The next  day his dog ate half of his collection.

\frac{1}{2}(x+7)

There are now only 38 cards left.

\frac{1}{2} (x+7) = 38

Multiplying both sides by 2

x+ 7 = 38*2\\x+7 = 76

Subtracting 7 from both sides

x+7-7 = 76-7\\x = 69

Hence,

Dan started with 69 cards

Let f(x) = 1/x . Find the number b such that the average rate of change of f on the interval [2, b] is − 1/8
vekshin1

Answer:

b=4

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we have the function f(x)=1/x. We need to find b such that the average rate of change or the slope is -1/8 between the intervel [2, b]. First, let's find f(2).

f(2) = 1/(2) = 1/2

So, we have the point (2, 1/2)

At point b, f(b) = 1/b.

Let's plug this into the slope formula:

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{.5-\frac{1}{b} }{2-b}  =-1/8

Now, we just need to solve for b. First, let's multiply both the numerator and denominator by b (to get rid of the annoying fraction in the numerator).

\frac{.5b-1}{2b-b^2} =\frac{-1}{8}

Now, cross multiply.

4b-8=b^2-2b

b^2-6b+8=0

Solve for b. Factor using the numbers -4 and -2.

=(b-4)(b-2)=0

Thus, b=4 or b=2.

However, b=2 is not a possible solution since the interval [2,2] means nothing. Thus, b=4.

To which set or sets does the number 12 belong? real numbers and natural numbers only real numbers, whole numbers, and integers
almond37 [142]
First off, let's take a look at what these numbers are:

Real numbers: It can be any numbers,both rational and irrational.

Natural numbers: The number has to be integer and positive.

Integers: A number without fraction or demical place.

Whole number: The number has to be natural and cannot be negative.

Therefore, as 12 is a positive number with no demical place or fraction, it is real numbers,integers, whole numbers, and natural numbers.

Hope it helps!

Problem 4:
Kipish [7]

Answer:

12cm and 16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of the right angle triangle  = 20cm

 let the other two sides be x and y;

 The difference;

                x  = y - 4

Problem:

Find x and y;

Solution:

According to the pythagoras theorem;

    x² + y² = 20²  ------ i

       x² + y² = 400 ----- i

and  x - y = 4 ---- ii

So;   x = 4 + y

Now input the value into equation (i);

  (y + 4)² + y² = 400

   (y+4)(y+4) + y² = 400

    y² + y² + 4y + 4y + 16 = 400

    2y² + 8y + 16 = 400

    2y² + 8y + 16 -400 = 0

   2y² + 8y - 384 = 0;

      y² + 4y - 192 = 0

Factorize the equation;

  y² + 16y - 12y - 192 = 0

  y(y + 16) - 12(y + 16) = 0

  (y-12)(y + 16) = 0

     y -12 = 0 or y+ 16 = 0

     y = 12 or -16

It is not realistic for the length of a body to be a negative value, so y= 12;

   since;

    x - y = 4,

    x = 4 + 12

    x = 16
