Mathematics

Tatiana [17]3 years ago

Simplify 1/3(6x - 15) to 6x - 15/3

6x - 15/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)

Factor out the common term; 3

3(2x - 5)/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)

Cancel out 3

2x - 5 = 1/2(10x - 4)

Simplify 1/2(10x - 4) to 10x - 4/2

2x - 5 = 10x - 4/2

Factor out the common term; 2

2x - 5 = 2(5x - 2)/2

Cancel out 2

2x - 5 = 5x - 2

Subtract 2x from both sides

-5 = 5x - 2 - 2x

Simplify 5x - 2 - 2x to 3x - 2

-5 = 3x - 2

Add 2 to both sides

-5 + 2 = 3x

Simplify -5 + 2 to -3

-3 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

- 1 = x

Switch sides

<u>x = -1</u>

Inverse of f(x) = x2 − 9
luda_lava [24]
To find the inverse of a function, replace every x in the equation with a y, and replace every y in the equation with an x:

x = y^{2} - 9

Add 9 to both sides:

y^{2} = x + 9

Square root both sides to get y by itself:

y = \sqrt{x+9}

This equation can be simplified by taking the square root of 9 out of the root:

\sqrt{9} = 3
y = 3 + \sqrt{x}

The inverse of this function is y = 3 + √x.

A ball is launched straight up in the air from a height of 6 feet. Its velocity (feet/second) t seconds after launch is given by
german

Step-by-step explanation:

A ball is launched straight up in the air from a height of 6 feet. The velocity as a function of time t is given by :

f(t) = -32 t+285

Height of the ball is :

h(t)=\int\limits{f(t){\cdot} dt}\\\\h(t)=\int\limits{(-32t+285){\cdot} dt}\\\\h(t)=-16t^2+285t+C

C is constant. Here the ball is launched from a height of 6 feet. So,

h(t)=-16t^2+285t+6

At t = 2 s, h(t)=-16(2)^2+285(2)+6=512\ m

At t = 9 s, h(t)=-16(9)^2+285(9)+6=1275\ m

Between 2 s and 9 s, the ball's height changed is : 1275 - 512 = 763 m.

Margret is inviting 3 friends to a party. If each friend will get 8 cookies and each box has 6 cookies, how many boxes does Marg
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Margret need to get 4 boxes of cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total friends = 3

Cookies each friend will get = 8

Each box has cookies = 6 cookies

How many boxes does Margret need to get?

Total cookies will be= Total friends x Cookies each friend will get

Total cookies will be= 3 x 8 = 24

If one box has 6 cookies and we need total 24 cookies so, divide 24 by 6 to get number of boxes

Number of boxes = Total cookies/ number of cookies in one box

Number of boxes = 24/6

Number of boxes  = 4

So, Margret need to get 4 boxes of cookies.
