Mary has gone into a department store with two coupons. One coupon is good for 20% off of the total not including tax. The other

coupon will take $15 off of her pre-tax total. If f(x) = 0.8x calculates the total after the 20% off coupon and g(x) = x – 15 calculates the total after the $15 dollar off coupon, determine g(f(100)). Then describe what g(f(100)) represents in the context of this problem.

Answer:

The value of g(f(100)) is 65.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that one coupon is good for 20% off of the total not including tax. The other coupon will take $15 off of her pre-tax total.

The given functions are

f(x)=0.8x

g(x)=x-15

where, f(x) calculates the total after the 20% off coupon and g(x) calculates the total after the $15 dollar off coupon.

We need to find the value of g(f(100)).

g(f(x))=g[0.8(x)]                 (\because f(x)=0.8x)

Substitute x=100 in the above function.

g(f(100))=g[0.8(100)]

g(f(100))=g(80)

Substitute x=80 in function g(x) to find the value of g(f(100)).

g(f(100))=80-15                 (\because g(x)=x-15)

g(f(100))=65

Therefore, the value of g(f(100)) is 65.

g(f(x)) represents the value goods after applying both coupons consecutively.

Therefore, g(f(100)) represents the value of $100 goods after applying both coupons consecutive is 65.

Which point is a solution to the system of inequalities below?
vodomira [7]

The ordered pair which is a solution to the given inequality is: C. (2, 1).

<h3>What is an inequality?</h3>

An inequality can be defined as a mathematical relation that compares two (2) or more integers and variables in an equation based on any of the following arguments:

  • Less than (<).
  • Greater than (>).
  • Less than or equal to (≤).
  • Greater than or equal to (≥).

Next, we would test the ordered pair with the given inequality to determine a solution as follows:

For ordered pair (4, 4), we have:

3x + 2y < 15

3(4) + 2(4) < 15

12 + 8 < 15

20 < 15 (False).

For ordered pair (3, 3), we have:

3x + 2y < 15

3(3) + 2(3) < 15

9 + 6 < 15

15 < 15 (False).

7x - 4y > 9

7(3) - 4(3) > 9

21 - 12 > 9

9 > 9 (False)

For ordered pair (2, 1), we have:

3x + 2y < 15

3(2) + 2(1) < 15

6 + 2 < 15

8 < 15 (True).

7x - 4y > 9

7(2) - 4(1) > 9

14 - 4 > 9

10 > 9 (True)

For ordered pair (1, 0), we have:

3x + 2y < 15

3(1) + 2(0) < 15

3 + 0 < 15

3 < 15 (True).

7x - 4y > 9

7(1) - 4(0) > 9

7 - 4 > 9

3 > 9 (False)

Report Error Suppose $P(x)$ is a polynomial of smallest possible degree such that: $\bullet$ $P(x)$ has rational coefficients $\
motikmotik

Answer:

We want a polynomial of smallest degree with rational coefficients with zeros in \sqrt{7}, 1 - \sqrt{6} and -3. The last root gives us the factor (x+3). Hence, our polynomial is

P(x) =(x+3)q(x)

where q is a polynomial with rational coefficients and roots \sqrt{7} and 1 - \sqrt{6}. The root \sqrt{7} gives us a factor x-\sqrt{7}, but in order to obtain rational coefficients we must consider the factor x^2-7.

An analogue idea works with 1 - \sqrt{6}. For convenience write  x - 1 + \sqrt{6} = ( x - 1) + \sqrt{6}. This gives the factor (x-1)^2-6. Hence,

P(x) = (x+3)(x^2-7)((x-1)^2-6)=x^5+x^4-18x^3-22x^2+77x+105

Notice that P(-1)=24. So, in order to satisfy the last condition we divide by 3 the whole polynomial, without altering its roots. Finally, the wanted polynomial is

P(x) =(1/3)x^5+(1/3)x^4-6x^3-(22/3)x^2+(77/3)x+35

Step-by-step explanation:

We must have present that any polynomial it's determined by its roots up to a constant factor. But here we have irrational ones, in order to eliminate the irrational coefficients that a factor of the type x-\sqrt7 will introduce in the expression, we need to multiply by its conjugate x+\sqrt7. Hence, we will obtain x^2-7 that have rational coefficients. Finally, the last condition is given with the intention to fix the constant factor. Usually it is enough to evaluate in the point and obtain the necessary factor.
