Mathematics
1 answer:
taurus [48]2 years ago
3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

2x(squared)+9x+9=—1

2x(squared)+9x+9+1=0

2x(squared)+9x+10=0

multiply the coefficient of x and 10=2x10=20

2x(squared)+9x+10=0

look for two numbers that when added gives 9and when multiplied gives 20

2x(squared)+5x+4x+10=0

(2x(squared)+5x)+(4x+10)=0

find the number and letters that are common in the equations

x(2x+5)+2(2x+5)=0

(x+2) (2x+5)=0

x+2=0

collect like terms

x=0-2

x=-2

2x+5=0

collect like terms

2x=0-5

2x=-5

divide both sides by 2

2x/2=-5/2

x=-5/2

so x=-2 and -5/2

The Sugar Sweet Company will choose from two companies to transport its sugar to market. The first company charges $3604 to rent
agasfer [191]

Answer: 14 tons

$3,860.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the amount of sugar transported.

First company:

The cost is $3157 truck rental plus $50.25 per ton of sugar.

Total cost = 3157 + 50.25x dollars

Second company:

There is no charge for truck rental, but it costs $275.75 per ton of sugar.

The total cost is

275.75x

When the two costs are the same, then

275.75x = 3157 +50.25x

225.5x = 3157

x = 14 tons

The total cost is 275.75*14 = $3,860.50

Andru [333]

Answer:

f^{-1}(x)=4x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

<u />f(x)=\frac{x}{4}-5\\ \\y=\frac{x}{4}-5

<u>Swap x and y and solve for y</u>

<u />y=\frac{x}{4}-5\\ \\x=\frac{y}{4}-5\\ \\x+5=\frac{y}{4}\\ \\4(x+5)=y\\\\y=4x+20

<u>Final answer</u>

<u />f^{-1}(x)=4x+20

Keep in mind that we need to swap the variables because a function and its inverse are symmetrical about the line y=x. See the graph below.
