If (x - 4) varies inversely as (y + 3) and x = 8 when y = 2, what is x when y = - 1?
denpristay [2]

Answer:

x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

If two values are inversely proportional, their product must be maintained. That way, if one value goes up, the other goes down by the same extent.

Therefore, if (x-4) and (y+3) vary inversely, their product will be the same for all values of x-4 and y+3.

Let x=8 and y=2 as given in the problem. Substitute values:

(8-4)(2+3)=(4)(5)=20

Hence, the maintained product is 20.

Thus, we have the following equation:

(x-4)(y+3)=20

Substitute y=-1 to find the value of x when y=-1:

(x-4)(-1+3)=20,\\(x-4)(2)=20,\\x-4=10,\\x=10+4=\boxed{14}

On Friday, 3/5 of the students wore blue shirts and 1/4 of the students wore white shirts. What fraction of the students wore ei
velikii [3]
Since 3/5 of the students wore blue shirts and 1/4 of the students wore white shirts, you need to find the Total of 3/5 and 1/4.
First, step find a common denominator for both fractions
EXAMPLE: 3/5+1/4=Total 3/5 becomes 12/20 and 1/4 becomes 5/20.
Second, notice that both fractions now have the same denominator, now you can find the sum of both fractions which is 17/20
Finally, you need to check if the fraction can be SIMPLIFIED if not then the fraction is already im simplest form.
THE ANSWER: 17/20 of students wore either a blue or white shirt on Friday

Given the following functions, find and simplify (f • g)(x) f(x)=—x+3 g(x)=-x-1
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

(f\circ g)(x)= x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Composite Function</u>

Given f(x) and g(x) as real functions, the composite function (f\circ g)(x) is defined as:

(f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x))

It can be found by substituting g into f.

We are given the functions:

f(x) = -x + 3

g(x) = -x -1

Find

(f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x))= - (-x -1) + 3

Removing parentheses:

(f\circ g)(x)= x + 1 + 3

Simplifying:

\mathbf{(f\circ g)(x)= x + 4}
