#5 is very nicely and correctly done.
#7 says: "No matter what X may be, this function of it is always 9 more than 1/2 of X .".
That's a very powerful statement. Now you know that if X is ever 2, the function will be 1/2(2)+9 which is 10.
If X is ever zero, the function will be 1/2(0)+9 which is 9. If X is ever a cow, the function will be 1/2 of a cow, plus the number 9. Which makes no sense, but that's what the function says.
So, when X is -8, the function is 1/2 of -8, plus 9. Which is 5 ... the 'f' of -8.
Whatever X happens to be at the moment, just write that number in place of X in the function, and it'll show you the function of what X is.
f(a bazillion) = 1/2(a bazillion) + 9 .
f(a-28) = 1/2(a-28) + 9 (but simplify it)
Answer:
168 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
If he uses 5 gallons to drive 140 miles, that means that he can drive 24 miles for every gallon (140/5=24)
7 times 24 is 168 so he can drive 168 miles on 7 gallons of gas
Answer:
Conquered Egypt?
Step-by-step explanation:
The subtracton property of equality allows you to subtract the same amount from both sides of an equation without changing the truth of the equation.
Answer:
63
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
a set of six elements
The solution would be like this for this specific problem:
number of subsets of n elements = 2^n
(2^6) - 1
= 64 – 1
= 63
