Solve any algebraic expression by getting the x on one side (usually the left-hand side) and everything else and the opposite side (usually the right-hand side).

We do this by using the inverse operation of what is being done to the variable. If something is adding to the variable, say like an expression like x + 10, then we use subtraction to get rid of the addition and vice versa.

Similar to multiplication, we use division to cancel out the multiplication and vice versa.

If there are any like terms, we combine them. I will assume that you know how to combine like terms, but in short, to combine like terms, add the coefficients together and use the common variables and power. If there is no coefficient, then a 1 is implied. Similarly, if no explicit power is shown, then a 1 is implied.

-6x - 2x = 40
-8x        = 40

-6x and -2x are like terms because they have the same variable and are to the same power.

-6x + (-2)x
(-6 - 2)x
-8x

Now we have the expression -8x = 40. Now we can use division to get rid of the -8 juxtaposed to the variable x.

-8x = 40
-8x / 8 = 40 / -8
x = -5

For the function, f(x) =1/4 x - 2, find x if f(x) = -1.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =1/4 x - 2 when f(x) = -1.

-1=1/4x-2

-1+2=1/4 x

1×4=x

x=4

a cylinder and a cone start with the same radius and height the radius of the cone is then trippled and the height of the cone i
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Therefore the cone is the greatest relative increase in volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cone:

Original cone = (1/3)π(h)r^2

Changed cone = (1/3)π(h/2)(3r)^2

= (1/2)(1/3)π(h)9r^2

= (9/2) * Original cone

=4.5 * Original cone

Cylinder:

Original cylinder = π(h)r^2

Changed cylinder = π(2h)r^2

=2 * Original cylinder

Therefore the cone is the greatest relative increase in volume.

[HELP ASAP 50 POINTS] 17, 18, 19, 20
Charra [1.4K]

17) f(x) = 16/(13-x).

In order to find domain, we need to set denominator expression equal to 0 and solve for x.

And that would be excluded value of domain.

13-x =0

Adding x on both sides, we get

13-x +x = x.

13=x.

Therefore, domain is All real numbers except 13.



18).f(x) = (x-4)(x+9)/(x^2-1).

In order to find the vertical asymptote, set denominator equal to 0 and solve for x.

x^2 -1 = 0

x^2 -1^2 = 0.

Factoring out

(x-1)(x+1) =0.

x-1=0 and x+1 =0.

x=1 and x=-1.

Therefore, Vertical asymptote would be

x=1 and x=-1

19) f(x) = (7x^2-3x-9)/(2x^2-4x+5)

We have degrees of numberator and denominator are same.

Therefore, Horizontal asymptote is the fraction of leading coefficents.

That is 7/2.


20) f(x)=(x^2+3x-2)/(x-2).

The degree of numerator is 2 and degree of denominator is 1.

2>1.

Degree of numerator >  degree of denominator .

Therefore, there would no any Horizontal asymptote.

A scientist is studying the population growth rates of two different species of rats in the same laboratory conditions. The popu
Korolek [52]

Since, population of species A is represented by : P=2^{x} +19

Let us find the population of species A, at the end of week 1:

i.e., x = 1

i.e., P(1)=2^{1} +19

i.e., P(1)=2 +19

i.e., P(1)=21


Also, since population of species B is represented by : P=3^{x} +18

Let us find the population of species B, at the end of week 1:

i.e., x = 1

i.e., P(1)=3^{1} +18

i.e., P(1)=3 +18

i.e., P(1)=21


Thus, at the end of 1 week, species A and species B will have the same population.

Hence, option D is correct.
