Answer:

Solutions are -10 and 26

Step-by-step explanation:

( - the abolute sign I'm using

( x - 8 ) + 2 = 20

( x - 8 ) = 18

x - 8 = 18 (postive case)

x - 8 + 8 = 18 + 8

x = 26

( x - 8 ) = 18

x - 8 = -18 (negative case)

x - 8 + 8 = -18 + 8

x = -10

Match each function with the corresponding function formula when h(x)=5-3x and g(x)=-3+5
Grace [21]

Answer:

k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x) ⇒ (1)

k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x) ⇒ (3)

k(x) = (h - g)(x) ⇒ (2)

k(x) = (g + h)(x) ⇒ (4)

k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x) ⇒ (5)

k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x) ⇒ (6)

Step-by-step explanation:

* To solve this problem we will substitute h(x) and g(x) in k(x) in the

  right column to find the corresponding function formula in the

  left column

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

- Lets start with the right column

# k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x)

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

∵ 3g(x) = 3[-3^x + 5] = [3 × -3^x + 3 × 5]

- Lets simplify 3 × -3^x

 take the negative out -(3 × 3^x), and use the rule a^n × a^m = a^(n+m)

∴ -3(3 × 3^x) = -(3^x+1)

∴ 3g(x) = -3^x+1 + 15

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ 5h(x) = 5[5 - 3x] = [5 × 5 - 5 × 3x] = 25 - 15x

- Now substitute 3g(x) and 5h(x) in k(x)

∵ k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x)

∴ k(x) = -3^x+1 + 15 + 25 - 15x ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 40 - 3^x+1 - 15x

∴ k(x) = 40 - 3^x+1 - 15x ⇒ k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x)

* k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x) ⇒ (1)

# k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x)

∵ 5h(x) = 25 - 15x

∵ 3g(x) = -3^x+1 + 15

∵ k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x)

∴ k(x) = 25 - 15x - (-3^x+1 + 15) = 25 -15x + 3^x+1 - 15 ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 10 + 3^x+1 - 15x

∴ k(x) = 10 + 3^x+1 - 15x ⇒ k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x)

* k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x) ⇒ (3)

# k(x) = (h - g)(x)

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

∵ k(x) = (h - g)(x)

∴ k(x) = 5 - 3x - (-3^x + 5) = 5 - 3x + 3^x - 5 ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 3^x - 3x

∴ k(x)= 3^x - 3x ⇒ k(x) = (h - g)(x)

* k(x) = (h - g)(x) ⇒ (2)

# k(x) = (g + h)(x)

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

∵ k(x) = (g + h)(x)

∴ k(x) = -3^x + 5 + 5 - 3x ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 10 - 3^x - 3x

∴ k(x)= 10 - 3^x - 3x ⇒ k(x) = (g + h)(x)

* k(x) = (g + h)(x) ⇒ (4)

# k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x)

∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5

∵ 5g(x) = 5[-3^x + 5] = [5 × -3^x + 5 × 5] = 5(-3^x) + 25

∴ 5g(x) = -5(3^x) + 25

∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x

∵ 3h(x) = 3[5 - 3x] = [3 × 5 - 3 × 3x] = 15 - 9x

- Now substitute 5g(x) and 3h(x) in k(x)

∵ k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x)

∴ k(x) = -5(3^x) + 25 + 15 - 9x ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 40 - 5(3^x) - 9x

∴ k(x) = 40 - 5(3^x) - 9x ⇒ k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x)

* k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x) ⇒ (5)

# k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x)

∵ 3h(x) = 15 - 9x

∵ 5g(x) = -5(3^x) + 25

∵ k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x)

∴ k(x) = 15 - 9x - [-5(3^x) + 25] = 15 - 9x + 5(3^x) - 25 ⇒ simplify

∴ k(x) = 5(3^x) - 9x - 10

∴ k(x) = 5(3^x) - 9x - 10 ⇒ k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x)

* k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x) ⇒ (6)

Each year for 4 years, a farmer increased the number of trees in a certain orchard by of the number of trees in the orchard the
Neko [114]

Answer:

The number of trees at the begging of the 4-year period was 2560.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s say that x is number of trees at the begging of the first year, we know that for four years the number of trees were incised by 1/4 of the number of trees of the preceding year, so at the end of the first year the number of trees wasx+\frac{1}{4} x=\frac{5}{4} x, and for the next three years we have that

                             Start                                          End

Second year     \frac{5}{4}x --------------   \frac{5}{4}x+\frac{1}{4}(\frac{5}{4}x) =\frac{5}{4}x+ \frac{5}{16}x=\frac{25}{16}x=(\frac{5}{4} )^{2}x

Third year    (\frac{5}{4} )^{2}x-------------(\frac{5}{4})^{2}x+\frac{1}{4}((\frac{5}{4})^{2}x) =(\frac{5}{4})^{2}x+\frac{5^{2} }{4^{3} } x=(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x

Fourth year (\frac{5}{4})^{3}x--------------(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x+\frac{1}{4}((\frac{5}{4})^{3}x) =(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x+\frac{5^{3} }{4^{4} } x=(\frac{5}{4})^{4}x.

So  the formula to calculate the number of trees in the fourth year  is  

(\frac{5}{4} )^{4} x, we know that all of the trees thrived and there were 6250 at the end of 4 year period, then  

6250=(\frac{5}{4} )^{4}x⇒x=\frac{6250*4^{4} }{5^{4} }= \frac{10*5^{4}*4^{4} }{5^{4} }=2560.

Therefore the number of trees at the begging of the 4-year period was 2560.

o-na [289]

a) (f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = -4x + 5x = x

b) -9(x) = -9x? I have no idea what this means.

c) (f o g)(x) = (f(g(x)) = f(5x) = -4 (5x) = -20x

The triangle in the right side of the first row, the triangle in the left side of the second row and the triangle in the left side of the third row are labeled correctly.

<h3>What triangles are represented correctly?</h3>

Triangles can be defined in terms of their base and their height. Both are linear measures. The base is one side of the triangle and the height is a line perpendicular to the base that meets the vertex opposite to the base.

Based on this explanation we find that the triangle on the right of the first row, the triangle on the left of the second row and the triangle on the left of the third row are labelled correctly.
