Answer:

The weight of the baby is 25 lbs.

The weight of the dog is 10 lbs

Total weight = 170 lbs

Your weight = 135 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

The total weight is 170 lbs which is shown in the picture.

Suppose the weight of the baby is x lbs . The weight of the dog is 60 % less than x

so x -  0.6 x lbs = 0.4 x is the weight of the dog

And suppose your weight is y lbs.

x+ 0.4x  + y= 170

1.4x+ y= 170

y = 170-1.4x ------1

The sum of your weight , the baby and dog is 100 lbs more than the two combined.

y- 100 = 1.4x

 x +0.4x + 100= y

1.4x+100= y----2

Putting 1 in 2

1.4x+100=170-1.4x

1.4x+ 1.4x = 170- 100

2.8x= 70

x= 25lbs

The weight of the baby is 25 lbs.

The weight of the dog is 4.4x= 0.4 (25)= 10 lbs

Total weight = 170 lbs

Your weight = total weight less baby's weight less dog's weight

                    = 170- 25- 10= 135 lbs

FILL IN THE BLANKS: Given P(x) = 3x5 + 7x6 + 11x7 – 12x - 10
Mama L [17]

The polynomial  3x^5 + 7x^6 + 11x^7 - 12x - 10 is in standard form if the exponents are arranged in decreasing order.

<h3>Polynomial in Standard Form</h3>

Polynomial is an algebraic expression with one or more terms. For example :2x^3+6x^4+x^2+x+2. In this example and in your exercise the exponents of the terms are not arranged in order.

Um polynomial is in <u>Standard Form</u> when the exponents of the terms are in decreasing order. See more details below.

2x^3+6x^4+x^2+x+2is not in standard form because the exponents are not written in decreasing order.

6x^4+2x^3++x^2+x+2 is in standard form because the exponents are written in decreasing order.

Therefore, the given polynomial will be in standard form if yours exponents are arranged in decreasing order.

4TH TIME ASKING THIS!!! Please help me! Someone pleaseeee. I need the correct answers. I don’t want to fail
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The functions are inverses; f(g(x)) = x ⇒ answer D

h^{-1}(x)=\sqrt{\frac{x+1}{3}} ⇒ answer D

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to find the inverse of a function</em>

- Let f(x) = y

- Exchange x and y

- Solve to find the new y

- The new y = f^{-1}(x)

* <em>Lets use these steps to solve the problems</em>

∵ f(x)=\sqrt{x-3}

∵ f(x) = y

∴ y=\sqrt{x-3}

- Exchange x and y

∴ x=\sqrt{y-3}

- Square the two sides

∴ x² = y - 3

- Add 3 to both sides

∴ x² + 3 = y

- Change y by f^{-1}(x)

∴ f^{-1}(x)=x^{2}+3

∵ g(x) = x² + 3

∴ f^{-1}(x)=g(x)

∴ <u><em>The functions are inverses to each other</em></u>

* <em>Now lets find f(g(x))</em>

- To find f(g(x)) substitute x in f(x) by g(x)

∵ f(x)=\sqrt{x-3}

∵ g(x) = x² + 3

∴ f(g(x))=\sqrt{(x^{2}+3)-3}=\sqrt{x^{2}+3-3}=\sqrt{x^{2}}=x

∴ <u><em>f(g(x)) = x</em></u>

∴ The functions are inverses; f(g(x)) = x

* <em>Lets find the inverse of h(x)</em>

∵ h(x) = 3x² - 1 where x ≥ 0

- Let h(x) = y

∴ y = 3x² - 1

- Exchange x and y

∴ x = 3y² - 1

- Add 1 to both sides

∴ x + 1 = 3y²

- Divide both sides by 3

∴ \frac{x + 1}{3}=y^{2}

- Take √ for both sides

∴ ± \sqrt{\frac{x+1}{3}}=y

∵ x ≥ 0

∴ We will chose the positive value of the square root

∴ \sqrt{\frac{x+1}{3}}=y

- replace y by h^{-1}(x)

∴ h^{-1}(x)=\sqrt{\frac{x+1}{3}}

at the dog show, there are 4 times as many boxer as spaniels. if there are a total of 30 dogs, how many dogs are spaniel?
Lyrx [107]
Firstly, given this information there could be 25 labradors and poodles and only 4 boxers and 1 spaniel. However, assuming that there are only boxers and spaniels at the dog show the first thing to do is to divide 30 by 5 = 6 so the answer is, There are 6 spaniels.
