Answer:70 white golf balls and 42 striped golf balls

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the ratio of white to striped balls

White golf balls = 10

Striped golf balls = 6

Ratio = 10/6 = 5/3

We are told a golfer wants to add extra 112 balls to the already 16 balls

And the ratio after adding 112 balls must stay the same

First we label the extra golf balls to be added x and y

x = white golf balls

y = striped golf balls

So since we know the 112 balls added is a combination of the extra white golf balls and striped golf balls, we create an equation for that, labelling it (1)

x + y = 112 (1)

And we are told that after putting these extra balls the ratio must remain the same, which is 5/3

which will be (10 white balls + x) divided by (6 striped ball + y) will be equals to 5/3

So we create another equation for this, labelling it (2)

(10+x)/(6+y) = 5/3 (2)

So we have two simultaneous equations

We pick (1)

x + y = 112

We either make x or y the subject of formula, I choose to make x the subject of formula, we label the equation (3)

take y to the other side, causing it to change to -y

x = 112 - y (3)

We then work with (2)

(10+x)/(6+y) = 5/3

We cross multiply

3(10+x) = 5(6+y)

We open the brackets

Making the equation simplified and labelling it (4)

30 +3x = 30 + 5y

Collect like terms

3x -5y = 30-30

3x -5y = 0 (4)

Remember from (3) we know that

x = 112 -y

So we put (3) in (4)

3(112 - y) - 5y = 0

Open bracket

336 -3y -5y =0

336 -8y = 0

Transfer -8y to the other side, changing to +8y

336 = 8y

Divide both sides by 8

336/8 = y

42 = y

y = 42

from (3) we know that x equals 112 - y

So we put y = 42 in (3)

x = 112 - y

x = 112 -42 = 70

x = 70

So therefore number of white golfs balls and striped golfs balls to be added to keep the same ratio is 70 and 42 respectively

Determine whether the statements are True or False. Justify your answer with an explanation.
frez [133]

Problem 1

<h3>Answer: False</h3>

---------------------------------

Explanation:

The notation (f o g)(x) means f( g(x) ). Here g(x) is the inner function.

So,

f(x) = x+1

f( g(x) ) = g(x) + 1 .... replace every x with g(x)

f( g(x) ) = 6x+1 ... plug in g(x) = 6x

(f o g)(x) = 6x+1

Now let's flip things around

g(x) = 6x

g( f(x) ) = 6*( f(x) ) .... replace every x with f(x)

g( f(x) ) = 6(x+1) .... plug in f(x) = x+1

g( f(x) ) = 6x+6

(g o f)(x) = 6x+6

This shows that (f o g)(x) = (g o f)(x)  is a false equation for the given f(x) and g(x) functions.

===============================================

Problem 2

<h3>Answer: True</h3>

---------------------------------

Explanation:

Let's say that g(x) produced a number that wasn't in the domain of f(x). This would mean that f( g(x) ) would be undefined.

For example, let

f(x) = 1/(x+2)

g(x) = -2

The g(x) function will always produce the output -2 regardless of what the input x is. Feeding that -2 output into f(x) leads to 1/(x+2) = 1/(-2+2) = 1/0 which is undefined.

So it's important that the outputs of g(x) line up with the domain of f(x). Outputs of g(x) must be valid inputs of f(x).

Need help with question 5 please
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

-1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope we use

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (-4-8)/( 1-3)

    = -12/-2

    =6

We want a line perpendicular, so we need the negative reciprocal

- (1/6)
