Tema [17]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 1 + sqrt(89) or x = 1 - sqrt(89)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(x - 9) (x + 7) = 25

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

x^2 - 2 x - 63 = 25

Add 63 to both sides:

x^2 - 2 x = 88

Add 1 to both sides:

x^2 - 2 x + 1 = 89

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 1)^2 = 89

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 1 = sqrt(89) or x - 1 = -sqrt(89)

Add 1 to both sides:

x = 1 + sqrt(89) or x - 1 = -sqrt(89)

Add 1 to both sides:

Answer: x = 1 + sqrt(89) or x = 1 - sqrt(89)

Select the sets that are not functions.
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

D,E are not functions

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is a relation in which every  input has not more than one output.But the output of the inputs may be same.Here in D the input 1 has 4 different outputs as 1,2,3,4.So its not a function.Similarly in E 6 has 2 outputs as 2 and -1.For remaining sets the inputs has only one output.so they are functions.

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount&price&priced\ amount\\
&-----&-----&--------\\
\textit{9 bucks/lb}&x&9&9x\\
\textit{3 bucks/lb}&y&3&3y\\

mixture&240&5&1200
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
x+y=240\implies \boxed{y}=240-x\\
9x+3y=1200\\
----------\\
9x+3\left( \boxed{240-x} \right)=1200
\end{cases}

solve for "x".

what about "y"? well, y = 240 - x
