Answer:

Division operation will be used to find the value of variable x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

16x=2,864

to find the variable x,

Divide both sides by 16, so that on left side 16 may be cancelled out and value of x will be known as follows:

x = 179

so by simplifying the given equation we know that there are there are 179 pounds in 2864 ounces.

i hope it will help you!

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x):

Elza [17]

Answer:

(a) The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x)

(b) f(x) has a greater y intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\begin{array}{cc}x & {f(x)} & -1&-9&0&-1&1&7 \ \end{array}$

$g(x) = 3x - 2$

Solving (a): Compare the slopes

The slope (m) of f(x) is calculated as;

$m = \frac{f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{x_2 - x_1}$

This gives:

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

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

Substitute values for f(0) and f(1)

$m = \frac{-1 - 7}{- 1}$

$m = \frac{-8}{- 1}$

$m = 8$

The slope of g(x) can be gotten using the following comparison

$g(x) = mx + b$

$m \to slope$

So:

$g(x) = 3x -2$

$m = 3$

$m_{f(x)} > m_{g(x)}$

Solving (b): Compare the y intercept

y intercept is when $x = 0$

From the table of f(x)

$f(0) = -1$

From the equation of g(x)

$g(x) = 3x -2$

$g(0) = 3*0-2$

$g(0) =-2$

<em></em> $f(0) > g(0)$ <em></em>

What is the length of line PS

stiks02 [169]

$PQ^2 = PR \times PS$

$(4x + 4)^2 = (3x + 3)(3x + 3 + 21)$

$16x^2 + 32x + 16= (3x + 3)(3x + 24)$

$16x^2 + 32x + 16= 9x^2 + 81x + 72$

$7x^2 - 49x- 56 = 0$

$7(x^2 - 7x - 8)= 0$

$(x - 8)(x + 1) = 0$

$x - 8 = 0~~~or~~~x + 1 = 0$

$x = 8~~~or~~~x = -1$

x = -1 makes the lengths of segments PQ and PR equal zero.
That is not possible, so the solution x = -1 is discarded.

x = 8

PS = 3x + 3 + 21

PS = 3x + 24

PS = 3(8) + 24

PS = 24 + 24

PS = 48
