Answer:

The number is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The unknown number: x

9 (x + 7) = 126

Using the distributive property, 9x + 63 = 126

9x = 63

x = 7

If f(x) = x^2 - 2x and g(x) = 6x + 4, for what value of x does (f + g)(x) = 0?

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) =x^2 -2x\:\: and \:\: g(x) = 6x + 4\\(f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) \\(f+g)(x) = x^2 -2x+ 6x + 4\\(f+g)(x) = x^2+4x + 4\\(f+g)(x) = (x+2)^2\\ 0 = (x+2)^2...[\because (f+g)(x) =0]\\0 = x+2\\\therefore x = -2$

What is the equation of a line parallel to y=1/2×+6 that passes through (-4,1)

IgorC [24]

keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, let's check for the slope of the equation above

$y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{2}}x+6\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/2 and passes through (-4 , 1)

$(\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ \cfrac{1}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{ \cfrac{1}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-4)}) \\\\\\ y-1=\cfrac{1}{2}(x+4)\implies y-1=\cfrac{1}{2}x+2\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}x+3$
