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

Mathematics

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!

jamal is going to borrow 14000 from his credit union to buy a used car. the APR is 7.0% and the length of the loan is 4 years. h
ELEN [110]
The formula to use here would be:

A = P(1+r)^t  where P is the principal (starting) amount, r is the rate of interest, and t is time. Knowing this, plug in your values:

A = 14,000(1+0.07)^4 once worked out, you should get $18,351.14414 < this is the total amount he would be paying at the end of 4 years. to find the interest, subtract this amount from the principal amount (14,000):

$18,5351.14414 - 14,000 = 4,351.14414 < this is the amount of interest. Round your answer. 

Answer: Jamal will pain $4,351.14 interest.

What is 2x-4. I really don’t understand
ddd [48]

Answer:

2 * -4 = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

2 * -4 = -8

It is just like multiplying two numbers like... 2 * 4 = 8

You must need to know that:

+a * -b = -c

-a * -b = +c

+a * +b = +c

In your question;

+a * -b = -c

a = 2

b = -4

c = -8

therefore:

2 * -4 = -8
