The value of "x" is 5.5

Solution:

Given that we have to solve the proportion

$\frac{3x - 4}{14} = \frac{9}{10}$

We can solve the above given proportion for "x" by cross multiplying

Multiply the numerator of the left-hand fraction by the denominator of the right-hand fraction

Multiply the numerator of the right-hand fraction by the denominator of the left-hand fraction

Set the two products equal to each other

Solve for the variable "x"

$\rightarrow \frac{3x - 4}{14} = \frac{9}{10}\\\\\rightarrow 10(3x - 4) = 14 \times 9\\\\\rightarrow 30x - 40 = 126\\\\\rightarrow 30x = 126 + 40\\\\\rightarrow 30x = 166\\\\\rightarrow x = 5.533$

On rounding to nearest tenth we get 5.5

Thus value of "x" is 5.5

Part (a)

Plug in y = 0 and solve for x. Use the zero product property

y = x(x+3)(x-2)

0 = x(x+3)(x-2)

x(x+3)(x-2) = 0

x = 0 or x+3 = 0 or x-2 = 0 .... zero product property

x = 0 or x = -3 or x = 2

The three roots or zeros are x = 0 or x = -3 or x = 2

================================================

Part (b)

The roots of the graph are: x = -2, x = 1, x = 3. Each root is where the graph crosses or touches the horizontal x axis.

Note how x = 0 is found in part (a), but not found here. This is one example where the graphs don't match. Another would be x = -3 is in part (a), but not here.

So that's why the graph does not match with the function in part (a)

Function Notation - Function Machines

stepan [7]

The function notation of the following are:

f(1) = 5

f(0) = 1

f(-3) = -11

f(8) = 33

Given:

x is the input.

the function is 4x+1

f(x) is the output.

we are asked to determine the values of the following :

a. f(1)

x = 1

so f(x) = 4x+1

f(1) = 4(1)+1

f(1) = 4+1

f(1)=5

b. f(0)

x = 0

so f(x) = 4x+1

f(0) = 4(0)+1

f(0) = 0+1

f(0)=1

c. f(-3)

x = -3

so f(x) = 4x+1

f(-3) = 4(-3)+1

f(1) = -12+1

f(1)= -11

d. f(8)

x = 8

so f(x) = 4x+1

f(8) = 4(8)+1

f(8) = 32+1

f(1)=33

Hence we get the required values.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

63%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we aim to find the percent increase in the tuition

Given data

initial cost= $99 per credit hour

Final cost= $268 per credit hour

% increase= (Final - initial )/initial *100

substitute

% increase= (268- 99 )/268 *100

% increase= 169 /268 *100

% increase= 0.630*100

% increase= 63%

Hence the increase in the tuition from 1990 to 2003 is 63%
