Each train carried 64141 kg of flour and each truck carried 9163 kg of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of kg of flour carried by each train be 'a'

Let the no. of kg of flour carried by each truck be 'b'

Total flour = 403172 kg

No. Of trains = 5

No. of trucks = 9

a = 7(b)

5a + 9b = 403172

5(7b) + 9b = 403172

35b + 9b = 403172

44b = 403172

b = 403172/44

b = 9163

Each truck carried 9163 kg of flour.

a = 7b

a = 7(9163)

a = 64141

Each train carried 64141 kg of flour.

Which equation is the inverse of y = 9x2 - 4?
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The inverse will be:

y' = \frac{\sqrt{x+4}}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the inverse of the equation, we do a variable change, since we are finding the inverse, :

f(x)  = 9x^{2} - 4

y = 9x^{2} - 4

x = 9y' ^{2} - 4

Now solve for y'.

First add 4 in both sides of the equation and change to the left y'.

x + 4= 9y'^{2} - 4+4

9y'^{2} = x + 4

Second divide by 9

9y'^{2}/9 = (x + 4)/9

y'^{2} = (x + 4)/9

Now you will have to clear y, with the square root.

[tex]y'^{\frac{2}{2}} = \sqrt{x + 4}  / \sqrt{9}[/tex] =

Simplifying terms

y' = \frac{\sqrt{x+4}}{3}

f^{-1}(x)  = \frac{\sqrt{x+4}}{3}

You can check the answer by doing the evaluation of the following equation:

(f o f^{-1} ) (x)

substitute the equation for y' or inverse function f^{-1}

f(\frac{\sqrt{x+4} }{3})

Now substitue the value into f(x)

You will have

= 9(\frac{\sqrt{x+4} }{3}} )^{2}  - 4\\\\Solving\\\\9(\frac{{x+4} }{9}} )  - 4

=x

Solve for w and simplify this fraction 3/2w=-20​
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

If I'm correct, the answer should be  negative 40/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you first combine multiplied terms into a single fraction, then you multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators. Now you simplify it, by canceling multiplied terms that are in the denominator and then you multiply the numbers. Now you will divide both sides of the equation by the same term. Finally, you will simplify the equation.

(Hope this helps) I had to get a little help myself on this problem)

Find the area of the following shape. Show work.
Serga [27]

Answer:

The total area:

12 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three parts on this shape:

1 big right triangle

1 rectangle

1 small right triangle

  • Big right triangle:

area = (4*4)/2 = 16/2 = 8units²

  • Rectangle:

area = 2*1 = 2units²

  • Small right triangle:

area = (2*2)/2 = 2units²

  • Total area

8+2+2 = 12 units²
