Answer:

B. 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3x + 2 = 2 1/3

Change the fraction to improper.

2/3x + 2 = 7/3

Subtract 2 on both sides.

2/3x = 7/3 - 2

Subtract like terms.

2/3x = 1/3

Multiply both sides by 3/2.

x = 1/3 × 3/2

x = 3/6

Simplify.

x = 1/2

Answer:

The answer is option b

2/3x+2=2 1/3

Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction

2/3x+2=7/3

Multiply through by 3

You will get

2x + 6 = 7

2x = 7 - 6

2x = 1

Divide both sides by 2

x = 1/2

At what values of x does f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 -4x+1 satisfy the mean value theorwm on [0,1]

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

x=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A function f is given as

$f(x) = x^3-2x^2-4x+1$ in the interval [0,1]

This function f being an algebraic polynomial is continuous in the interval [0,1] and also f is differntiable in the open interval (0,1)

Hence mean value theorem applies for f in the given interval

$f(1) = 1-2-4+1 = -4\\f(0) = 1$

The value

$\frac{f(1)-f(0)}{1-0} =\frac{-4-1}{1} =-5$

Find derivative for f

$f'(x) = 3x^2-4x-4$

Equate this to -5 to check mean value theorem

$3x^2-4x-4=-5\\3x^2-4x+1=0\\\\(x-1)(3x-1) =0\\x= 1/3 : x = 1$

We find that 1/3 lies inside the interval (0,1)

If 40% of a number is 56, what was the original number?

oksian1 [2.3K]

40/100= 56/x 40x=100(56) 40x=5600 Divide both sides by 40 to get x alone. X=140
