Answer:
<em>The input when the output is 17 is x=6.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Functions</u>
Assume the input is called x and the output is the function f(x). Two times the input is 2x. 5 more than that is 2x+5.
Knowing the output of the function is 5 more than 2 times the input, we can write the function as:
f(x)=2x+5
Now find the input x when the output is 17:
17=2x+5
Swap sides of the equation:
2x+5=17
Subtract 5:
2x=17-5=12
Divide by 2:
x=12/6=6
The input when the output is 17 is x=6.
Answer: 3.5a+5b=470 and a+b=115
Step-by-step explanation:
If it is a triangle h is height and b is base.
Let the two numbers be represented by x and y. The problem statement gives rise to two sets of equations.
x - y = 0.6
y/x = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming x is the larger of the two numbers
or
x/y = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming y has the larger magnitude
The solution of the first pair of equations is
(x, y) = (1.5, 0.9)
The solution of the first and last equations is
(x, y) = (-0.9, -1.5)
The pairs of numbers could be {0.9, 1.5} or {-1.5, -0.9}.
