Answer:

- 13

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate h(j(2)) substitute x = 2 into j(x) then substitute the value obtained into h(x)

j(2) = - 2 × 2 = - 4, then

h(- 4) = (3 × - 4) - 1 = - 12 - 1 = - 13

Hence h(j(2)) = - 13

Find the x value 4x-28 9x

andriy [413]

Answer: -5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

(4x + -28) = 9x

Reorder the terms:

(-28 + 4x) = 9x

Remove parenthesis around (-28 + 4x)

-28 + 4x = 9x

Solving

-28 + 4x = 9x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.

-28 + 4x + -9x = 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 4x + -9x = -5x

-28 + -5x = 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0

-28 + -5x = 0

Add '28' to each side of the equation.

-28 + 28 + -5x = 0 + 28

Combine like terms: -28 + 28 = 0

0 + -5x = 0 + 28

-5x = 0 + 28

Combine like terms: 0 + 28 = 28

-5x = 28

Divide each side by '-5'.

x = -5.6

Simplifying

x = -5.6

William bought some tickets to see his favorite singer. He bought some adult tickets and some children’s tickets, for a total of

Fantom [35]

Set x as adult tickets.
Set y as children's tickets.
x + y = 15
30x + 20y = 270
Solve for x in the first equation.
x + y = 15
x = 15 - y
Plug this into the second equation.
30x + 20y = 270
30(15 - y) + 20y = 270
450 - 30y + 20y = 270
450 - 10y = 270
-10y = -180
y = 18
If there is 18 childrens tickets, there should be -3 adult tickets.
This is impossible, and this impossible answer occured because the question is written wrong.
There are a total of 15 tickets
The smallest costing ticket is the childrens ticket, which costs 20$.
If he only bought children tickets, this would be 20x15 which is 300$.
300$ is over 270$, which makes the question impossible.

Prove the theorem (AB )^T= B^T. A^T

Lisa [10]

Answer:

$(AB)^T = B^T.A^T (Proved)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given (AB )^T= B^T. A^T;

To prove this expression, we need to apply multiplication law, power law and division law of indices respectively, as shown below.

$(AB)^T = B^T.A^T\\\\Start, from \ Right \ hand \ side\\\\B^T.A^T = \frac{B^T.A^T}{A^T}.\frac{B^T.A^T}{B^T} (multiply \ through) \\\\ = \frac{A^{2T}.B^{2T}}{A^T.B^T} \\\\=\frac{(AB)^{2T}}{(AB)^T} \ \ (factor \ out \ the power)\\\\= (AB)^{2T-T} \ (apply \ division \ law \ of \ indices; \ \frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a-b})\\\\= (AB)^T \ (Proved)$
