Answer:
x + y = 50 (1) and 2x + 3y = 115 (2); x = 35, y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Since x represents the number of 2 point shots and y represents the number of 3 point shots. If the total number of shots is 50, then x + y = 50 (1)
Also, the total 2 point shots is number of 2 point shots × points per shot = 2x and the total 3 point shots is number of 3 point shots × points per shot = 3y. Since the total number of points is 115, then
2x + 3y = 115 (2)
So, the system of equations are
x + y = 50 (1) and 2x + 3y = 115 (2)
We can solve for x and y by substituting x = 50 - y into (2)
So, 2(50 - y) + 3y = 115
100 - 2y + 3y = 115
100 + y = 115
y = 115 - 100
y = 15
So, x = 50 - y
= 50 - 15
= 35
ANSWER
1. k=13
2. x=-10
EXPLANATION
The given function is
To find f(x+5), plug in (x+5) wherever you see x.
This implies that:
Expand:
Simplify to obtain
We now compare with,
This implies that:
To find the smallest zero of f(x+5), we equate the function to zero and solve for x.
The smallest zero is -10.
