f(x) = -5x - 15

Let y = f(x)

y = -5x - 15

Switch the x and y places, and solve for y:

x = -5y - 15

-5y = x + 15

y = (x + 15)/-5

y = -(x/5) - 3

So the inverse of : f(x) = -5x - 15 is

-x/5 - 3

The ratio of the numerator to the denominator of a fraction is 2 to 3. If both the numerator and the denominator are increased b

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The fraction is $\frac{4}{6}$

Option (B) is correct.

$3n-2d=0$ and $4n+8=3d+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n denotes numerator and d denotes denominator of the fraction.

Given : The ratio of the numerator to the denominator of a fraction is 2 to 3.

That is $\frac{n}{d}=\frac{2}{3}$

Cross multiply , we get,

$3n=2d$

Or, $3n-2d=0$ ........(1)

Also, given : . If both the numerator and the denominator are increased by 2, the fraction becomes 3/4

That is $\frac{n+2}{d+2}=\frac{3}{4}$

Cross multiply , We get,

$4{n+2}={3}{d+2}$

$4n+8=3d+6$ .........(2)

$3d-4n=2$ .......(3)

Thus, from (1) and (2) , option (B) follows.

Solving equation (1) and (3) to get the original fraction using elimination method,

3n - 2d = 0 ............(1)

and 3d - 4n = 2 .........(3)

Multiply equation (1) by 3 , we get ,

9n - 6d = 0 ..........(4)

Multiply equation (3) by 2 , we get ,

-8n + 6d = 4 ..........(5)

Adding (4) and (5) , we get,

9n - 6d -8n + 6d = 4 + 0

⇒ n = 4

Put n = 4 in (1), we get

3n - 2d = 0 ⇒ 3(4) - 2d = 0 ⇒ 12 -2d = 0 ⇒ 12 = 2d ⇒ d = 6

so, the numerator is 4 and the denominator is 6.

Thus, the fraction is $\frac{4}{6}$

There are 20 students on the school's student council. A special homecoming dance committee is to be formed by randomly selectin

AysviL [449]

You can choose from 20 students for the first student, 19 for the second, 18 for the third, ..., 14 for the seventh student.

That gives you 20 * 19 * 18 * 17 * 16 * 15 * 14.

That number would allow you to write the students in different order. Since order here does not matter, any group with the same students in any order is the same group, you need to divide by the number of way you can order 7 items. Divide by 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1

(20 * 19 * 18 * 17 * 16 * 15 * 14)/(7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) = 77,520

Answer: 77,520

A: x/4 +1 = -3 B: x+4 = -12 1) How can we get Equation B from Equation A?

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:In the equation y = mx + b for a straight line, the number m is called the slope of the line. Let x = 0, then y = m • 0 + b, so y = b. The number b is the coordinate on the y-axis where the graph crosses the y-axi

Determine the truth value of each of these statements if thedomainofeachvariableconsistsofallrealnumbers.

hoa [83]

Answer:

a)TRUE

b)FALSE

c)TRUE

d)FALSE

e)TRUE

f)TRUE

g)TRUE

h)FALSE

i)FALSE

j)TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

a) For every x there is y such that $x^2=y$ :

TRUE

This statement is true, because for every real number there is a square number of that number, and that square number is also a real number. For example, if we take 6.5, there is a square of that number and it equals 39.0625.

b) For every x there is y such that $x=y^2$ :

FALSE

For example, if x = -1, there is no such real number so that its square equals -1.

c) There is x for every y such that xy = 0

TRUE

If we put x = 0, then for every y it will be xy=0*y=0

d)There are x and y such that $x+y\neq y+x$

FALSE

There are no such numbers. If we rewrite the equation we obtain an incorrect statement:

$x+y \neq y+x\\x+y - y-y\neq 0\\0\neq 0$

e)For every x, if $x \neq 0$ there is y such that xy=1:

TRUE

The statement is true. If we have a number x, then multiplying x with 1/x (Since x is not equal to 0 we can do this for ever real number) gives 1 as a result.

f)There is x for every y such that if $y\neq 0$ then xy=1.

TRUE

The statement is equivalent to the statement in e)

g)For every x there is y such that x+y = 1

TRUE

The statement says that for every real number x there is a real number y such that x+y = 1, i.e. y = 1-x

So, the statement says that for every real umber there is a real number that is equal to 1-that number

h) There are x and y such that

$x+2y = 2\\2x+4y = 5$

We have to solve this system of equations.

From the first equation it yields x=2-2y and inserting that into the second equation we have:

$2(2-2y)+4y=5\\4-4y+4y=5\\4=5$

Which is obviously false statement, so there are no such x and y that satisfy the equations.

FALSE

i)For every x there is y such that

$x+y=2\\2x-y=1$

We have to solve this system of equations.

From the first equation it yields $x=2-y$ and inserting that into the second equation we obtain:

$2(2-y)-y=1\\4-2y-y=1\\4-3y=1\\-3y=1-4\\-3y=-3\\y=1$

Inserting that back to the first equation we obtain

$x=2-1\\x=1$

So, there is an unique solution to this equations:

x=1 and y=1

The statement is FALSE, because only for x=1 (and not for every x) exists y (y=1) such that

$x+y=2\\2x-y=1$

j)For every x and y there is a z such that

$z=\frac{x+y}{2}$

TRUE

The statament is true for all real numbers, we can always find such z. z is a number that is halway from x and from y.
