X=5/8 or x=-4/3 
here is the work if needed...
24x^2+17x-20=0
Step one: Factor left side of equation.
(8x-5)(3x-4)=0
Step two: Set factor equal to 0.
8x-5=0 or 3x-4=0
x=5/8 or x=-4/3

What is 87 24 over 25 as a decimal
erastova [34]
8724/25 = 348.96
 When you say "over" that means that it has to be divided that short subtraction sign that separates the numerator and the denominator and also means divide so I believe that if you divide you can find the decimal.

Write the inverse function for the function, ƒ(x) = 1/2x + 4. Then, find the value of ƒ -1(4). Type your answers in the box. ƒ -
katrin2010 [14]
As you know, to get the inverse of any expression, we start off by switching the variables about and then solving for "y",

\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{y}=\cfrac{1}{2}x+4\qquad \qquad \stackrel{inverse}{\underline{x}=\cfrac{1}{2}\underline{y}+4}\implies x-4=\cfrac{1}{2}y
\\\\\\
2x-8=\stackrel{f^{-1}(x)}{y}
\\\\\\
f^{-1}(4)=2(4)-8\implies f^{-1}(4)=0

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Coordinates (x, y)
  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>

y = -7x + 6

y = -10x

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

<em>Substitution</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>y</em> [1st Equation]:                                                                           -10x = -7x + 6
  2. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 7x on both sides:                                   -3x = 6
  3. [Division Property of Equality] Divide -3 on both sides:                                x = -2

<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x </em>[2nd Equation]:                                                                         y = -10(-2)
  2. Multiply:                                                                                                             y = 20

Use the given graph of f to estimate the intervals on which the derivative f ' is increasing or decreasing. (Enter your answers
NARA [144]

The derivative of a function is used to determine whether the function is increasing or decreasing on any intervals in its domain.

Derivative of function f is increasing in interval  (-2 , 1) and (3 , 6)

Derivative of function f is decreasing in interval (1 , 3) and (6 , 9)

If f′(x) > 0 at each point in an interval , then the function is said to be increasing in that interval.

If f′(x) < 0 at each point in an interval , then the function is said to be decreasing on that interval.

By observing graph, it is observed that slope  of function f is positive in interval  (-2 , 1) and (3 , 6) . Hence, derivative of  function f is increasing in interval  (-2 , 1) and (3 , 6)

By observing graph, it is observed that slope  of function f is negative in interval  (1 , 3) and (6 , 9) . Hence, derivative of  function f is decreasing in interval  (1 , 3) and (6 , 9).
