Answer:

A)16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x)=5x^2+9x-2

Remainder theorem states that when f(x) is divided by x-a then the remainder can be calculated by calculating f(a).

Now Using the remainder theorem to divide 5x^2+9x-2 by x+3 to find the remainder:

f(x)=5x^2+9x-2

f(-3) = 5(-3)^2 +9(-3) -2

=5(9) - 27 -2

= 45-29

= 16 !

Given: f(x) = x - 7 and h(x) = 2x + 3 Write the rule for f(h(x)).

azamat

F(h(x)) means wherever you see x in the f(x) function you're gonna plug in the h(x) function:
f(h(x)) = (2x + 3) - 7
= 2x + 3 - 7
= 2x - 4

koda Buys 0.75 kg of cortos,which ia 5times the mas of the union he also Buys. How much does the union weigh?

kari74 [83]

Answer:

0.15kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

We are told that

0.75 kg of cortos weights 5times the mas of the onion

We want to find the mass of 1 onion

Hence

0.75 kgcortos = 5 onions

x cortos = 1 onions

x= 0.75/5

x= 0.15kg

Hence 1 onion will weigh 0.15kg

The difference of two numbers is 16 the greater number is five less than four times a small number find the two numbers

Elis [28]

Answer:

The numbers are 23 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Set up the equations

Let x = the greater number

and y = the smaller number. Then

(1) x - y = 16

4y = 4 times the smaller number and

4y - 5 = 5 less than 4 times the smaller number. Then

(2) x = 4y - 5

You have a system of two equations:

$\begin{cases}(1) & x - y = 16\\(2) & x = 4y - 5\end{cases}$

2. Solve the equations

$\begin{array}{lrcll}(3) & 4y - 5 - y & = & 16 &\text{Substituted (2) into (1)}\\& 3y - 5 & = & 16 &\text{Simplified}\\ & 3y & = & 21 &\text{Added 5 to each side}\\(4) &y & = & \mathbf{7} &\text{Divided each side by 3} \\& x - 7 & = & 16 & \text{Substituted (4) into (1)}\\& x& = & \mathbf{23} & \text{Added 7 to each side}\\\end{array}$
