Step-by-step explanation:

Word Problems are mathematical problems presented in complete languages, rather than in mathematical notations.

Example:

A certain number is divided by half, the result is added to itself to give 6, what is the number?

Solution:

- Let the number be x

- Divide x by half:

In word problem, extra caution is to be taken, as misinterpretation can be very chaotic. Dividing a number by 2, is totally different from dividing the number by half.

4 divided by 2 is 4÷2 = 2

4 divided by half is 4÷½ = 4×2/1 = 8

2 and 8 are different, reason to be cautious.

So dividing x by half, we have:

x ÷ 1/2 = x × 2/1 = 2x.

- Now, what we have is

2x + x = 6

Solving this equation, we can obtain the value of x.

2x + x = 6

3x = 6

Dividing both sides by 3

3x/3 = 6/3

x = 2.

Therefore, the solution to the word problem is x = 2.

HURRY PLZ!
timama [110]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

f^{-1}(x) means the inverse. The inverse is the function reflected over the y=x line. This means the values have been reversed. (x,y)-->(y,x). We are looking for a point that has reversed values from the table.

The table has (1.-5) so the inverse is (-5,1) or D.

Which formula gives the area of a parallelogram? (3)
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

A = bh (the last one)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base by the height. The formula is: A = B * H where B is the base, H is the height, and * means multiply. The base and height of a parallelogram must be perpendicular.

Let f(x)=3^x
suter [353]
As your -2 is directly affecting the x with addition/subtraction, it is a translation horizontally. To find direction, change the sign, from negative to positive, making it go right. This means it will be translated 2 units to the right, fitting the first statement. For your +5, it is not directly affecting the x, making it a translation vertically. As it's positive, it goes up, making it a translation 5 units up, fitting statement 4. This makes your correct statements 1 and 4.
