F(x)=6x-18 sub in f(x/3), f(x)/3

1 answer:

8 0

These are two separate problems: in the first we will have to substitute in a new value for x into the original equation and in the second we will manipulate the preexisting equation for f(x).

To begin, we will sub in f(x/3). To do this, we will substitute each variable x in the equation (in this case there is only one) with x/3, and then simplify the resulting equation.

f(x) = 6x - 18

f(x/3) = 6(x/3) - 18

To simplify, we should distribute the 6 on the right side of the equation.

f(x/3) = 6x/3 - 18

Now, we can divide the first term on the right side to finalize our simplification.

f(x/3) = 2x -18

Secondly, we are asked to find f(x)/3. To do this, we will take our original value for f(x), and then simplify divide that entire function by 3.

f(x) = 6x - 18

f(x)/3 = (6x-18)/3

This means that we must divide each term of the binomial by 3, so we are really computing

f(x)/3 = 6x/3 - 18/3

We can simplify by dividing both of the terms.

f(x)/3 = 2x - 6

Therefore, your answer is that f(x/3) = 2x - 18, but f(x)/3 = 2x - 6. It is important to recognize that these are two similar, yet different, answers.

Hope this helps!

A rectangle has a diagonal of 277 centimeters and a length of 252cm. How long is the width?

Crank

Answer:

width = 115 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

width² = 277² - 252²

width² = 76729 - 63504 = 13225

width = 115 cm

The function d(s) = 0.0056s squared + 0.14s models the stopping distance

victus00 [196]

Answer:

The car must have a speed of 25 kilometres per hour to stop after moving 7 metres.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be $d(s) = 0.0056\cdot s^{2} + 0.14\cdot s$ , where $d$ is the stopping distance measured in metres and $s$ is the speed measured in kilometres per hour. The second-order polynomial is drawn with the help of a graphing tool and whose outcome is presented below as attachment.

The procedure to find the speed related to the given stopping distance is described below:

1) Construct the graph of $d(s)$ .

2) Add the function $d = 7\,m$ .

3) The point of intersection between both curves contains the speed related to given stopping distance.

In consequence, the car must have a speed of 25 kilometres per hour to stop after moving 7 metres.

The formula used to calculate the value of a savings accounty =(1+)120What does theafter t years is A(t)=0.04= 1500 1+120.04frac

yulyashka [42]

We have here the formula for Compound Interest:

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Where:

• A is the accrued amount.

• P is the Principal (the original amount of money, the starting amount of money).

• r is the interest rate.

• n is the number of times per year compounded.

• t is the time in years.

When we have that n is equal to 12, we are talking here about that the amount of money is being compounded monthly (we have 12 months in a year, 12 periods, n = 12). <em>Therefore, we are dividing the rate, r, by the number of compoundings per year, n, and this is the rate per each new compounding period of time, r/n, and, in this case, n = 12 (monthly interest rate). </em>

Therefore, in few words, the fraction (0.04/12) is the monthly interest rate (option C).

[If we see the other options, we have:

• The daily interest rate would be given by 0.04/365.

• How long the money has been in the account is time, t.

• The starting balance in the account is the Principal, P. ]
